Wow, thank you for taking on this subject! There are some potent nuggets of insight from both hosts about aging with autism, and I have forwarded a link to the podcast to NT family members who are wanting to better understand my situation. As a 60+, very late diagnosed female, I can say that these challenges just become greater with each passing year. Thank you, Angela and Matt, for your willingness to share with the community the truth of your own experiences!!

Hot flashes are making my life so difficult. Night sweats, sleep disturbances, needing to change my clothes all day, additional laundry, and then the gaslighting from doctors that the HRT “should” be helping. Night sweats and hot flashes are a sensory nightmare. I’m hot or I’m cold…there’s no in between. Just take my uterus and make it stop!

Are they not willing to increase your dose? HRT has been amazing for me.

We’re still playing around with dosage but I’m also prone to fibroids and may have adenomyosis.
