Hot Flushes

Thanks Kim.  I thought once I finished chemo and radiation that should be all! Little did I know!  I will persist a little longer.  I'm hoping they will even out over the next month or so??  Fingers crossed. However thanks for the tip.

I keep lemonade icey poles in the freezer for summer.I carry a bottle of cold water everywhere I go and a hand fan in my handbag.I also keep hand fans all over the house.I layer my clothes.I also take a very low dose antidepressant called Endep(10mgs)and that helps,particularly at night.It doesn't seem to give me any side effects.Hot flushes are the pits and Tamoxifen cranks them up. Talk to your doctor and don't just suffer them.Good luck.

Hi All,

Thanks for the tips.  I will try cutting out caffeine.  I'm just starting to get back into exercising, due to hand and foot problems from the chemo.  I will also, check out Evening Primrose Oil, i currently take Cod Liver Oil.  I wondering if this would do the same?
