Hello Ronni:) For the first year after I started Tamoxifen,I had THE WORST hot flushes imaginable.They went all day and all night.On my blog I wrote about them,and I got lots of answers.You can take a look if you like.I used to have them every 15 minutes at one stage,and they woke me all night.About 3 or 4 months ago,they just suddenly slowed down,and now they have almost stopped:) I have maybe 2 a day,and very mild.None at night at all:) .The things that helped me are these: DONT drink hot drinks,only drink iced water that you keep in the fridge.This cools your core temperature.I sleep with a pedestal fan turning,next to my bed,every night.My husband is used to it now!!!Only use 100 per cent cotton sheets,not polyester ones.I bought a chillow pillow,which I loved.I would refrigerate it every day,and just before bed,slip it into my pillow case.Heaven:):) I don't need it now though.Have a shower,as cool as possible,just before bed.Hope that some of these help.Cheers Robyn.xox
