Have the flushes lasted 7 years god help I’m only in year 2 x

Yes 7 years with no respite. But now I've just had enough  it's a weird mixture of hot flushes, sweating buckets and then feeling cold and shivery as my clothes get so damp feom sweating. Horrible horrible 

Carh 

im exactly the same they come with no warning it’s embarrassing, the doctor put me on clonodine tabkets tgese helped massively for a few months but have stopped I working as I’m used to them now 

I’m waking up in the nights drenched, have you found anything that helps ? X 

Yes I also feel bitterly cold on times it’s strange x 

Nothing helps. And I'm so fed up with it. Wet clothes all the time, smelling of sweat, boiling hot then freezing cold 

Mine have started bad for about a month or so before this it was occasionally now it’s bad bad bad every few hours drenched can’t sleep waking up soaking my hair is even wet the last few weeks I’m embarrassed it’s making me depressed x 

Lara that sounds terrible surely there's something out there that can help after all there must be plenty of people taking it ,have you been back to the Docs to explain the what they gave you has stopped working they must have other things to offer ,also maybe you could ring the hospital where you were treated or Macmillan they must have come across this before ,I really hope you get sorted x

thank you for your reply and support Jenny 

I honestly thought I was through the worst I’m so positive normally nothing gets me but this is really getting me down , my gP said that there’s not anything else they can do to go back in a month 

I may call my oncologist next week to see what she says as this can’t go on debating stopping the tamoxifen but that’s dangerous can’t win x 

how are you ? Xx 

love Lara x

Also, would the flushes get better if you stopped the tamoxifen? That's what I really want ro know? Does tamoxifen make flushes worse or are these just normal menopause hot flushes? Does anyone know?

Carh I think the tanoxifen make it worse but I wouldn’t stop taking them u til you speak with oncologist I’m going to make a appointment cause I’m thinking of stopping then too but I need to check first x 

Thanks yes I think so too

They make me 1000 times worst but I’m scared to stop until I get medical advice x 

whst brand do you take ? Sometimes the brand of them make it worse mine are tillomed brand tamoxifen I may try a different brand x 

I stopped taking tamoxifen as I couldn’t stand the side effects. Aches, dizziness and the horrific hot sweats. The sweats have continued….sorry to tell you. Nightmare
