Hi new to the group my OH got diagnosed with tb3 n0 my last year is on injection every 6 months enzulatamide 4 tablets a day night time flushes bad and all so jumps and twitching through the night does anyone else have these symptoms and is there any thing to help 

  • Hi

    Night time flushes can be a devil, especially in this weather, unfortunately it’s the hormone treatment mixed with the enzalutamide, I’m on enzalutamide had chemo etc. I take gabapentin for the yips as I call them, look it up on the net, they do help takes a few days to a week to kick in.

    Stay safe

  • Hi Joe, yes we all have the same side effects, best if you talk to your oncologist or Macmillan nurse as there are a number of ways to get relief.

    All the best Ulls

    I thought it was just me, I keep getting nudged in the night.  I'm thinking, "What have I done?"

    I like the name Joeven calls them, 'the Yips'.

  • Guess what lads according to my wife I was yipping last night, not as server as some night so she didn't wake me, Yippy 

  • Hi Joe F

    Sorry I cannot offer you any help but hopefully other members can. I get a Protap injection every 3 months and I`m also on Abiraterone daily. I feel I am fortunate as far as hot flushes are concerned as they only last about 2 mins max & only happen about 2/3 times a week. You and everyone else who suffer from prolonged flushes have my sympathies though.

    Take care, Tom.
