Gem – I have had my thyroid checked a couple of times and have had several friends who do have thyroid problems wonder if I don’t have one myself. No one in my family history has had thyroid problems, though and the tests keep coming back fine. Maybe I should ask to have it tested again next time I go in to see the doctor.
Otherwise, I have had some thoughts about it being menopause related since my mother went through menopause in her early forties and I am *cough* forty-one. I just don’t know what to expect from menopause. Since my mother is in the end stages of Alzheimer’s, I can’t ask her what it was like. I’m just so tired.

Have you had your thyroid checked? I have heard that sleeping/fatigue problems as well as the overheating can be caused by thyroid imbalances.

You have my prayers. I don’t have any advice, but I hope you can sleep soon. I go through occasional nights of not being able to sleep until around 3 in the morning. But I’ve never experienced anything like you describe.
God bless!
