Lol. I honestly think my post just won for the most interesting thread of the week lol. New people probably think we are all wacko. Can you imagine doing a web search on withdrawal night sweats like I have done so many times and reading all this? Too funny. I love med help. It's like my own little crazy Internet family.
yeah, if your shoes are pinching your feet, wear some really uncomfortable earrings and it will fix it!! lol.
glad to see you have your sense of humor.
you are doing great.

Bahaha!!! I love you all!! Forget my night sweats thank god I'm only 26 and not going through menopause! You all made me forget all about it.
mispelled above meant to say the narcotics were MASKING them, not making them, LOL
OMG YES!!!!!
HA!!! check this out! I had a full hysterectomy back in 2000, suffered from anxiety hot flashes for years. The hot flashes would have been toerable, but I would get a rush of anxiety first, and that is how I knew the heat was coming. I could time it, the anxiety would hit, last about 120 seconds, which mkaes you grit your teeth, and then the heat comes, and that lasts about 3 minutes. Not too long, but every 15 minutes is enough to drive you nuts.
soooo, after starting with the vocodin the flashes went away. I did not associate the vicodin with the relief of the flashes, I just though, ahh finally they are gone. Well guess what ..... here the narcotics were just making them, and they are back. I can however now distingusih a WD flash from a menopause flash, but at first I couldn't.
I saw my new family idiot, I mean doc, and asked him about the new studies done on HRT, now they are saying it is not as dangerous as perviously stated, and this idiot said, "uhhh no too dangerous," and I said, "did you read the new studies?" and hse said, "too dangerous" and i thought, alright idiot, I will ask my gyn, so I have an appt on August 6th. yay!
