Just curious, has your doctor done a vaginal ultrasound? I was having
the same problem with night sweats and hot flashes and chills a few
years ago. It turned out that I had a chocolate cyst on my ovary which
could be seen on the vaginal ultrasound. That's when I had my first lap
done and found out I had endometriosis, which was suspected because of
the chocolate cyst. Good luck finding out what it is, I can certainly
sympathize with you.
