Hubs actually bought a new set of flannel sheets (because they have dogs on them) and insisted on putting them on the bed immediately because they were cute (they are). I also prefer cool, crisp sheets! Over the weekend I bought one of those memory foam pillows with a cooling gel pad and ventilated or something. It seems to be helping a bit, but it's probably the placebo effect. <br /><br />I'm just thankful that not all of the hot flashes result in reducing me into a sobbing mess.

Cool crisp sheets and a damp cloth under my face on the pillow helped. I know how horrible the flushes can be - they are so hot they burn - and they're worse if you are not sleeping. Sending virtual hugs - the coolest kind.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-53888876898791136732015-09-24T19:43:53.144-04:002015-09-24T19:43:53.144-04:00I'm sorry to hear you have not been sleeping w...I'm sorry to hear you have not been sleeping well lately. It sounds like you have a lot on your mind too which isn't helping. It can be hard to turn your brain off when it's bedtime. But hot flushes are a pain. My MIL gets them all the time and I get them too actually when I am on some of the ivf meds and it really isn't pleasant. Sometimes, what I do to try and combat that is to soak a face washer in cold water and put it on my forehead or on a place that's particularly hot (I usually get this just above my stomach area) and I find that helps a bit. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. <br /><br />I hope you can get some sleep time soon. Not sleeping does make you feel a bit out of it.
