I suppose what I meant was that if it was a placebo, I would not be happy to be suggestible enough that a placebo would be helpful, especially if I went into it thinking it was a placebo.

I prefer to think of myself as a skeptic.
The night sweats have gotten better than they were. Either it was a cyclical thing, or it's because I'm drinking more, or the Estroven. I'm not sure. The only couple of nights it felt bad again was when I forgot to take the estroven, but I also forgot to drink a lot. So I don't know.
I'd love to have a hydration buddy! I have always been awful about drinking enough. Especially water. And not having enough fluids makes me feel a bit unwell and then I drink even less.
I'm trying to just drink regular water, but I'm terrible at that. When I was pregnant, I had to force myself to drink enough plain water for the baby to be healthy. I need to do that again. I don't hate Evian, so I stocked up on some of that. And I got some Crystal Light to mix with regular bottled water. It's full of artificial flavors, but is surely better than diet Dr. Pepper. Our tap water doesn't taste good enough to drink. The end of the Mississippi River, you know.
