You sure got the symptoms of menapause! I had hot flashes that turned my face purple and lasted for an hr or more. I even felt a little sick at times. Mom used to sweat and feel like ants were crawling in her hair. I didn't have sweats. I did have the mood swings, not happy to crying, but got annoyed very easy, boarderline rage. Not that people didn't ask for it, I just used to be able to handle it. I got to where i felt like half killing someone most of the time. my attitute got to be like I was just waiting for someone to screw up so I could jump them. My poor husband was the one usually in my path most. I went to the gyn and started on Premphase. It's been like a miracle. Starting working within 2 - 3 days. I haven't had trouble sleeping, but a lot of my friends have in menapause. That stuff, Melatonin sp? helps some of them. You can get it at Walmart. Hope you feel better. I'll be 49 next week. My symptoms started several yrs ago. but got bad last yr. started HRT last nov.
