Hi all
its been a while since I was on here but have no idea where else to ask - Dr Google had failed!
I had her2+ breast cancer estrogen negative. I had 3 Fec then 9 pacletaxel treatments followed by herceptin and mastectomy. Treatment started Sept 2016. So I was almost feeling back to normal, fitness levels had returned and am going thru a fabulous (not) menopause….
My query regards Covid booster and menopause symptoms…
Has anyone else found their hot flushes increase dramatically each time they get their Covid jab… I really can’t stand it. Not sure where to ask for advice but my fatigue levels are almost back to chemo levels -zero energy just want to cry. Anyone know of a ‘hormone’gynae person who will look at my history re hrt… I usually do a ridiculous amount of exercise (it used to help keep flushes to a minimum), I avoid sugar & alcohol as they immediately cause a flush spike …. I also sleep with a cool pad (usually meant for pets) that I fling across myself thru the night
Are we allowed to eat estrogen boosting foods or should these be avoided as the worry with hrt is the estrogen/BC link….
I’m on a low level if citalopram and antihistamine taken daily
I hope I’m not sounding like a moaner - I’m usually a very positive person but I am now beginning to feel beaten …
thanks in advance
