Hi, I am new here too. Sorry you are having such a bad time, you are so young to be experiencing all of this.
When your doctor took the hormone/blood tests were you taking the BCP? When I had to have my fsh test to see if I was even in menopause, I thought they'd just take it, and give me something to "fix" me. But the doctor said I needed to be off the BCP for 7 days or the test would not be accurate. It was horrible...like you I am having terrible hot flashes and even worse night sweats and I also feel achy all the time like the flu is coming on. After the 7 days of no BCP the lab did the blood test and my fsh level was 53.5 so she put me on Activella.
I am 47 and it is reasonable that I have menopause now, and that is okay with me as long as I know what it is and they can give me something. But your having these symptoms at only 22 should make your doctor take notice that something is out of balance and she/he should do more tests for you.
Good luck with your situation, I know it is pretty miserable. I have NO clue why women have to go through this when we think we'll be free of periods and let me say, I'd rather have a period anytime than be in menopause, it is so uncomfortable.
