Well, I thought I'd breezed through menopause without a care in the world!
My last 'official' period was 18 months ago.
Two weeks ago I had a very heavy bleed so being post meno was sent straight to hospital for a scan and biopsy. I am still waiting for the results but the consultant was happy that all is well and that my ovaries had enough life left in them for another period.
However!! Last night!! Oh my goodness!! I thought my hot water bottle had burst (I use it for joint/rib pain). I woke about 1am absolutely sodden! Sweat pouring off me and sheets soaked. The same thing happened again about 2 hours later despite having thrown out the bottle and tried to be half in and half out of our duvet. So now I'm panicking (I am a panicker...)
A quick search of night sweats brought up cancer. Would I have a random night sweat without any other meno symptoms? I've never had a hot flush in my life. Is it because I've recently had a 'period' and my hormones are all over the place? I'd be really grateful if anyone could put my mind at rest please 😕
