My wife who is now 70 yrs had an histerectomy about 30 years ago, her ovaries were left in place. She went through menopause as far as we can tell about 5 years later.Long after that she began to get excessive sweating, HRT was tried with no sucsess though she kept taking the medication for several years, she stopped when publicity sugested that HRT may be bad for heart . The problem as it affects her now is that when everybody around is feeling chilly like early morning or evening she is sweating , it can be seen on her forehead and back of neck, her under clothes also get wet , she has to have fans blowing on her or aircond running to keep comforable. This problem really gets her down , it also gets me down because while I am sympathetic I also like to feel comfortable. The doctors seem to think that the trouble is hormonal even though HRT inc patches ( they will not stick to wet skin ) have not the slightest effect on her condition . Can anyone help ?.
