Re-Visit Hot Flashes

Ok I know this has been discussed many times. I am ER/PR NEGATIVE.

I am have taken many things mentioned here to try and control these damn Hot Flashes over the past 5 years.

They are so bad especially at night with the Night Sweats, I have to change my sheets every day because I sweat so much, not to mention that I only get about 4 hour's sleep.

So, my question is has any one here who is ER/PR NEGATIVE ever resorted to taking HRT at a low dose to help. I'm really desperate for help here. I guess the next thing would be to take me out behind the barn and shoot myself. LOL
