OP- Do everything in your power to make sure your hormones stay as balanced as possible. You have armed yourself with the knowledge that most wouldn't even bother with. You'll recognize what is happening if that time comes and know what to do about it.
I just wished I could have convinced my H to see a doc long ago when this started.
FWIW, I've read in the Resources that MLC men tend to go through the night sweats--I certainly remember how my H used to drench the bedsheets--which would suggest there has to be a hormonal component to their experience. Also, post-MLC my H notices that he's much more "emotional" and other symptoms of having more estrogen in his system. I'd be curious to see what you come up with....
I started the "night sweats" thing about 9 months ago with just my feet, now it is my whole body. I usually wake up and change shirts in the middle of the night, it is so bad. I am also emotional but I find that is b/c of my W being gone and dealing with everything, work, kids, bills, house etc. If I am going through some Mid Life Transition it is just physical and less emotional.
Great post HB, it is great to have you back on the board.
OP, I am now thinking the same thing after reading the last several posts. My question is, if I reconcile with my W and life returns to some sort of "normal", will I start an MLC of sorts?
I would hope that with knowledge comes power and that I would recognize what is happening physically and emotionally to me and not react negatively or destructively.

Don't you think you have the knowledge to experience "the change" and accept it rather than fight it and cause pain to you and those around you?

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
