I am 49 and was not actively experiencing hot flashes, but was having other problems. I was experiencing exhaustion, crankiness and depression. I have never been this tired in my life! I was not sleeping well, just couldn't rest and was always sleepy during the day. My doctor started me on a low dose of HRT yesterday and this morning before getting out of bed I felt hot. After taking my shower and getting dress I was hot and sweating. I never had hot flashes before. Has anyone else experience this or can weigh in on this? I was hesitant to take HRT, but the tiredness was having a negative impact on my daily life and was willing to try anything to help View Thread
