Hello there!
I know your e-mail was in 2003, but i just want to know if you ever got
answers for any of your problems? Im 22 and i have the exact same things
your experiancing now! I have horrible hot flashes, and excessive
sweating, when i am just sitting down doing nothing? I get night sweats
so bad that i wake up! I have horrible sweats in the middle of talking
to someone, and cant help but wipe off my forehead! Again, like you i am
not overweight, i am 115 lbs, and i am active! Its not just my head, but
my back, legs, feet, bum, everything breaks out into a sweat for 10
minutes or so! I am also on ortho try-low, and my doctor has just taken
me off to see if that works. I also had blood text done, everything is
pretty normal. I hope someone can tell me what this is!
