Hot Flashes are Back

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!
