Thank you everyone, it's nice to be able to speak to real people who understand.
I'm not on hormone blockers as I'm still in recovery of radiation. Surgeon says I won't go on them until a few months. I don't think I will.
Why I don't think it is a hot flush is that I have had them before and for me they start from the bottom and rise. Where this experience is even throughout my body and just radiates burning heat. It started half way through my radiation.
I was on bio identical hormones (troche), but was told to stop this once they found eostrogen and progesterone fuelling my cancer. I had only been on the troche for three years. Didn't make the five where they say it's safer.
That was on the 29/12/16 stopped cold. For a week I was fine then it hit me, my menopausal symptoms is from hips through legs aching bones etc, I can't weight bare. Hard to walk. I need hormones to stop this. I didn't get any fog or hot flushes (which I haven't had for a long time).
The cancer nurses told me to take Panadol Osteo which has taken the edge of my pain in the legs.
Now I just need to stop this heat issue. Can a hot flush be as I describe it?
