Hi Nan and friends... I've read through the string and learned so much for myself! Was AF 3 days last week and then slipped... AF again this week and more determined than ever. I don't drink anything with caffeine, just herbal teas, water and sparking water so I haven't had some of the symptoms being described. For me, the night sweats seem to be normal - menopause will do that. Sleep has been an issue but last night I had chamomile tea before bed and one Gravol... slept until 4 a.m. when the mobile phone battery died and starting beeping! No-one has mentioned exercise as a way to detox and calm jitters... I think that is the major help for me.... long walk with dog and hubby plus stretching, swimming, etc... that and reading a good book instead of vegging in front of tv. JMHO. Best wishes Nan - we're all in this together!
