how old are you? I started having them probably 4-5 years ago, was having them during the day too, but, they're finally letting up..although, sometimes I just feel like I'm going to die if I dont' have something to drink, and have bought a quart of chocolate milk in the grocery store before and drank it in about 2 seconds, then had to pay for an empty bottle..I'm so happy mine are letting up..I keep the thermostat set at 67, and tell my hubby, he can put clothes on and I can't take them off, so he better get used to it...he's been really good at not messing with the thermostat..
