My wife uses a Bedjet which has both a remote and app. Thankfully it works without an active Internet connection.
It uses a bag-like sheet that it blows air into, to adjust temperature. For women suffering* through menopause, being able to adjust around hot/cold flushes is sanity-preserving!
* Some women don't suffer much during perimenopause or menopause, but it's a process that seriously fucks with one's hormones. A word of advice to any partner of a woman going through perimenopause: believe them when they tell you what they're going through! So many partners don't realize just how much this can mess up someone, they deserve every sympathy possible.
My friend Sara had a rare form of breast cancer at 34. Thankfully she survived, but to improve her odds of staying alive she's been essentially put into permanent menopause for the next decade. Constant hot flashes.
Is the Bedjet really that good? Would your wife recommend it without reservations? Are there any other product that have made a difference for her?
Apologies if that's intrusive but improving Sara's sleep would be life-changing for her.
My wife has been suffering with perimenopause tremendously. Her hormonal fluctuations have caused hair loss, severe insomnia, and mood swings that seriously degrade the quality of her life. It's hard to watch. There's no magic trick to fix it, and she isn't doing anything 'wrong' that she should change.
If she hasn't started taking progesterone and estrogen, I recommend she talk to a doctor about doing that. Good luck, it's hard on both of you and I hope it gets better soon.
Thank you. It really is. It’s similar to pregnancy in that if both people are engaged in caring for mom and baby, it can be exhausting for everyone when things aren’t going smoothly.
