Hi Mel,
Before breast cancer I took remifemin. It took a full 8 weeks to notice any effect, but then it was great. No more hot flushes for about 8 months. I had been having them about every 7 to 10 minutes at their worst, so I was impatient for relief. After 8 months, they started to come back, and so I doubled my dose, with a Dr advise. Eventually I did get some more relief, but it wasn't great. I then tried Promensil, but do not think I had great results. Finally absolute frustration sent me to HRT, so after a normal mammogram I started a low dose HRT. I had a wonderful 3 months of no hot flushes, and then I discovered I had breast cancer. Being ER + I can no longer use it or any of the other things either, so am back to having horrid hot flushes again, though maybe
not quite as bad as the days before HRT. Good luck. It
is worth giving it a try, as you may get good relief. Just
expect that it may take a little bit of time. Love Chris xx
