One of the worst parts of having hot flashes in the middle of the night is that they trigger cramping and pain my intestines. Anyone have this? My doctor explains it is because the same receptors that are related to the hot flashes relate to the receptors in the gut. But boy do they make me miserable and unable to sleep. I have not slept in over two years.

Hi,
October 18, 2011 - 4:10pmI am sorry to hear that you are having such difficulty with hot flashes and not having gotten a good night sleep in 2 years. Has your doctor recommended any therapy that will give you some relief? Menopausal hormone replacement therapy has risks and benefits. This slide show presentation may give you some information that you can discuss with your doctor.
