Hello Ladies I need some help here. I have Multiple Sclerosis that causes some sweating (no big deal). In 1995 I got acute endometriosis and they tried everything to cure it but nothing worked and then it spread to my bladder and my Kidneys. The only thing to do was a complete hystorectomy its ok I allready had my daughter and my son and my tubes were tied. It didnt matter much. Now for 2 months I just turned 40 I wake up with severe night sweats to where I have to change my pajamas. I have not been to a gyne in years ( You may yell at me) lol. Should I be on Hormone Replacement Therapy ? Also I have a mustache that I have to shave lol I am very serious. lmao.

You're not alone, Ethel. Many of us suffer from hot flashes and mustaches. It's related to the road to menopause. It would be a good place to start by visiting your gynecologist. Have him/her check your hormone levels. After a hysterectomy I would imagine that you might need some supplementation.

Might want to run a complete thyroid check too. You won't believe how so many ailments are misdiagnosed due to overlooking a malfunctioning thyroid. I've got the thyroid and menopause problems combined, so I sympathize with you. Let us know what you decide to do. In the meantime, I wish you great health.
