Accupunture

 Hi Chris, I haven't tried acupuncture, but it might be worth a try. I actually saw that  today on TV on "The Doctors" show and they say it works.

I was having terrible   hot flushes and hot sweats all day and night which were driving me crazy.     I was referred  to the  Menopause /  cancer clinic    (MSAC) at KEMH in Perth.   I think its Like what Joy is talking about.   They are wonderful and they have  so many different Doctors/specialists  in one place to deal with you and menopause/cancer and the side effects of  treatment. They deal with all the different treatments around.

I was put onto Gabapentin. The first few weeks i didn't think it helped a great deal but since increasing the dosage it has been pretty good. My dosage is  now at 1200mg daily and i can say i have got about 40 to 50% better than what i was like.   Have a read up on it , as  It may be just what you need. I  have had no side effects from the gabapenti.  Chris it does not get rid of them and you still may have some bad days but it really does reduce them.
