Good Morning Ladies,
I know its been a while since I last posted but I have been in a PhD program. I have finally finished my course work and am also recovering from foot surgery. I also moved and am looking for a new teaching job. I also recently finished a documentary and based off of one of my books. Needless to say, I have been a little preoccupied. But I finally realized that I needed to share about my hot flashed coming back after all this time.
After we purchased a new king size bed last year, I started having hot flashes again. I didn't put the two together until I realized that when I slept in other beds I didn't have the same problem of feeling really warm in bed while sleeping. If you guessed we have a feather bed, you are correct! This bed although extremely comfortable is the culprit of my hot flashes. Now what? This beautiful bed cost us a little over a thousand dollars so I'm not about to get rid of it and my husband loves it.
So, I deal with it. I sleep in almost nothing. Once I get into bed with pj's and get warm, everything comes off. This isn't good if I have to go to the bathroom at 3 in the morning, which I always do. So what is a girl to do you might ask? I deal with it and freeze for a couple minutes then race back to bed for warmth.
I think eventually I will have to give up the bed but for now, the hormone pills aren't keeping the night hot flashes away. Word of advice: don't but a feather bed!
