Like your mom, I've been dealing with menopause sans HRT. I think it drives my DH crazier than it does me. I haven't resorted to sleeping in socks and sweats, as I have different weights (summer vs winter) of duvets, an extra quilt and a (rather annoying) cat (who likes to crawl under the covers). My DH teases that my mood swings aren't any worse than they ever were before menopause, LOL!
My biggest physical change has been due to weight gain and, in spite of all my distance running and marathon training over the past 5 years, I simply can't shed it or keep it off. Nonetheless, maintaining this level of activity has its merits, although I often think that not being able to undergo HRT to balance my hormones may be at the root of my body's inability to shed the weight.
