Thank you for your reply. No menopause as of yet but the middle of the night thing has been going on for a few years now, 3 to 4 years and she has always complained of sleeping issues as does her mother to this day. At the time they did in fact think it was a stroke but that was ruled out as well. I'll have to find a way to broach the topic of having her hormone levels checked, it's a delicate topic since she is so certain that she is right about what I am saying in my sleep. Oddly enough I was just diagnosed with a thyroid issue and I am on now on medication, it's another possibility, thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure about another brain scan as the behavior is different but perhaps a topic I can suggest if I can get to see her doctor with her. She sees her gynecologist regularly, if I recall correctly she saw her over the summer. Thank you again for your response. I have to go to work early tomorrow so hopefully tonight will be a good night.

The way you described her attack sounded like a stroke, did they test for that? Can you talk to her doctor and possibly get another brain scan done? It has been a couple of years, something that didn't show up before might show up now.
When was her last gynecological exam? I cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure she has her hormone levels checked.
Welcome to PC, you are welcome to come and vent etc whenever you need to.
Maybe someone else will have more suggestions to consider. Be patient, a lot depends on who happens to be on and happens to see your thread.
