For myself, I hope to stay away from HRT.  My feeling is that what my body is going through is a natural process (all I have to do is survive it!).  And to me, HRT is "messing with nature".  Now, maybe I'll change my mind as I continue the journey (it's just starting for me), but that's how I feel about it as it relates to my body.

Kind of funny you should mention this, since not 15 minutes I was just moaning to my coworkers that I would be glad when my hormones finally straighten out - maybe then I'll get a good night's sleep!

Which is a good point for me to bring up.  My problem with sleep isn't night sweats (at least not yet).  My problem is that I've been dreaming so much that I don't feel rested.  This has been going on for the last couple of years during the same time that my periods have become sporadic.  There's got to be a connection.  My dr. poo-poos it - saying the only menopause sleep-related problem is night sweats - since I don't have those, that can't be the problem.  But then he's a man - what the heck does he know!  Does anybody else out there have this problem or has heard of this problem?
