My onc told me that my hot flushes were severe as I got them every 20 mins when they began during my 4th round of chemo. He could see them come on several times during a consultation! Drove me crazy like that for a six months then they seemed to settled right down. Then they started up again. Then settled down again. Then started up again... you get the idea.
Last few weeks they have been ok. Earlier this week I had 3 nights where I slept through with no hot flushes waking me up! Stupid me made a comment about that to my husband yesterday feeling pretty chuffed. Must have jinxed myself. Last night had the worst night yet with the hot flushes. Felt them come on yesterday afternoon, but last night had full on sweats. I put the fan on and then got the chills because I was drenched. Had to change my sheets and pjs twice. Not much sleep. Trying to figure out what was different about yesterday and the answer was nothing. Usual diet. Usual activities. No extra stress or anything.
Does anyone know why do they fluctuate like this, ie sometimes good, sometimes bad?
