Re: Re-Visit Hot Flashes
I was in Peri menopause before cancer dx, but when I started chemo it put me into menopause. My last period was May17, 2005 ( 5 yrs. ago) I have had my FSH, LH and estradiol and all show me to be very into menapause.
I have tried Effexor, Paxil, Plus natural suggestions. I have asked and asked my Onc and PC to please, please do something for me and they each tell me to see the other. I have begged for for hrt low dose to see if it will help and neither wants to be responsible for a possible reoccurance ( which I guess is why they won't give it to me).
I have no triggers at all set these off, I don't drink and don't spicy food, they have continued to get worse, so I'm at loss as to what to do.
I guess I'll keep searching.
