I'm getting close to having gone a year without a period, however, the night-sweats have really kicken in. I'm getting terrible nausea in the morning and I'm not sleeping well at night. I feel absolutely miserable, and I spend most of the day tired, foggy, and unfocused.

You may find taking sage helpful for the night sweats.

It comes in tincture or tablet form and I suggest starting with the tincture form, as it often gives swifter effects than the tablet and you don't want to wait one more night than you have to without sleeping well!

Take 15 drops in a little water or juice at tea time and then 30 drops before you go to bed. You don't need to eat anything with it. 

You may also find that avoiding eating a heavy meal late at night reduces the severity of the flushes, so maybe consider eating your main meal at lunch time and having a lighter evening meal, finishing it at least 3 hours before bed time.

Caffeine sometimes triggers flushes, so keep caffeine intake (coffee, tea, fizzy drinks) to a minimum and ensure that you are drinking plenty of water to rehydrate yourself. Dehydration can cause feelings of anxiety, which then makes flushes worse. 

You may also find that getting abetter night's sleep will reduce the foggy feeling as well but if concentration is an issue you could add in Concentration Essence as well.
