Hi ladies, sorry for late reply.
Thanks for the comments - I was on Prempak C but had to come off in March it because of new high blood pressure and visual migraines. I was only on HRT for one meno symptom - really bad joint pain - my only symptom, or so I thought. I didn't realise The Sweats and Insommnia were up ahead! For the last month or two I started having a really bad hot sweat on the hour every hour, stopping me in my tracks and waking me up at night. Not so much a flush, as a full on dripping sweat. Yuk. I don't understand the wide awake bit - I get loads of exercise during the day, running after three dogs, one husband, one son and own business...but I am quite simply not tired. Never felt anything like it, I don't yawn, I feel wide awake and lie staring into space and fidgeting watching the minutes go by on the digital clock. I have now gone into another room as the snoring was doing my head in (didn't really hear it before as was nearly always asleep before DH) I have also bought ear plugs, tried listing to 'white noise' and soothing sleep sounds....and I am still only getting about two hours a night. I feel fine...apart from a little bit of anxiety back again. I seem to always have this odd unsettled feeling, a sense that I have missed something...or forgotten something, and cannot settle to to do anything without thinking I should be doing something else! Heyho, I guess this too will pass!
