OT-Sort Of--Night Sweats
OK since Chemo has thown me into complete menapause, I haev been having horrible night sweats and flashes.

I was told to try the Chillow Pillow. Has anyone here ever used one of these and if so did it work?? I would hate to buy one and it be a piece of garbage.


Thanks

Cool Ain't it the pits??
I have a fan blowing on me at night. I turn it on/off several times. Chemopause was the worst. I had the chillow, but my dog ate it. I didn't like how it felt. I did get a catalog that is called As We Change. It has awesome stuff. I saw a better pillow I wanted to try. Go to www.aswechange.com.
