Prickly sensation over body post treatment

Hi @RachaelBB
 
I used to get really severe hot flushes. (finshed the same chemo regime as you June 2017)  Now I just get the prickles, they sometimes make me lightheaded as well.  I can go from cold one minute, as soon as I put a jacket or blanket on here come the prickles.  I have to be careful with the temp of the shower as well. Sometimes it just comes out of the blue like sitting at my desk, if I am rushing around doing something, even bending down to pick something up can set it off. Caffeine can trigger it and so can wine.  Thankfully they only last for a minute or so now.    It's the chemo induced menopause and lack of hormones circulating as they should.  Kind of a mild hot flush i guess. They are getting less over time.  

xoxox.

Hi Rachel I am also TNBC and had same chemo as you.  I sometimes get  prickly feeling when I get a hot flush  and If I get too hot  . I put it down to the menopause  that have been thrown into. Going to ask breast care nurse when I see her next week. 

Hi Rachael :smile:     Have you changed your shampoo or conditioner lately?  A few years ago I was getting a rash & itchy all over my body, and I worked out I was allergic to something in the shampoo or conditioner I was using.  It was only when I got hot and my pores opened up that I had the allergic reaction. 

Sorry , I can't help you with your question, but sending you hugs xxxx
