But uh-oh, the body part might sort of malfunction if one of its favorite chemicals got taken away. That's me and my hypothalamus!

Like gangbusters. I took my first dose one afternoon and never had another power surge (a term I much prefer to "hot flashes"). And, I got my first uninterruped night's sleep in months. The night surges were the worst since I was constantly having to wash my bedclothing. I took it for a couple years and the power surges have never returned I have heard, however, that if you are prone to fibrous tumors you shouldn't take it. A couple years ago, unfortunately, I started having formication. Yep, just one little letter away from the "F" word. It's a tingling sensation in my feet and ankles which was waking me up at least once a night at first but is lessening. I've tried to Google-up something to help, but it seems to be yet one more thing women suffer from not deemed worth looking into. 500 mg. of Mexican yam root extract per day worked for me.

Or maybe men are in a permanent state of hotflashitude, and because they've never been otherwise, they don't know it. And maybe this hypothetical state of permanent hotflashitude is connected to patriarchy. It’s kinda weird because males go around with very low estrogen and somehow do not get hot flashes.

How do you put up with all of that and still have the energy to kick patriarch ass, too? You're an amazing woman. For endo patients, OTC progesterone cream helps. I may be OD-ing on the stuff soon, but so be it. I blame the patriarchy for not having a real endo treatment. That sucks, Twisty.

So it's the on-the-bare-floor-in-my-underpants cure for me. Yeah, those of us with clot issues need to avoid the ‘mones too, because a pulmonary embolism will seriously spoil your day.

Chick hormones are what cancer eats for dinner, which is why we have to have our ovaries out in the first place.
