Re: When do the hot flashes stop????!!

Thank you for all the posts, it's nice to know that I am not crazy! V-ness, I'm so glad you posted the name of the drug you are taking. I also have a problem going to the bathroom every hour of the night ontop of the hot flashes. I brought this up to my protocol nurse yesterday so they are going to check into that drug for me. I can possibly wipe out two nusiance problems with one zap!!!

Stay cool my fellow sisters
