Hot flushes - a rant!

I'm following this as I'm in the same boat.
Sick and tired of them.  Going to see what the consultant says tomorrow

Same here, my wife just laughs and says "we women go through this without a moan"

I've been suffering from severe hot flushes, at least once an hour day and night, for the first 6 months of HT, my oncologist then put me on daily Medroxyprogesterone 20mg which really helped. I still get flushes but they're fewer and not as severe, I'm not pouring sweat when they arrive, and I no longer wake up at night from it.

Hi AndyK , when you say you are two months after your 2 years on Zoladex, if I am reading this correctly, you finished your last jab in June? If so, don’t expect the HT to go that quickly.  Even if your last jab was in March (on a 10.8mg Zoladex) I would expect your libido not to recover for a few months.  Hopefully others can give you their experiences.  Best wishes, David

Morning I’ve been on HT since April and just started getting them yesterday I was sweating for a wee while but don’t want to ask for anything as I’m waiting for my results for lung cancer,it never rains but it pours,lucky white heather what’s that xx

 AndyK  It was at least six months after my last Prostap 3 injection before things started to return to the new normal. My hot flushes were well controlled during HT with a combination of Sage capsules, Evening Primrose Oil and occasional doses of an Homeopathic remedy of Sepia (cuttlefish ink) so that was less noticeable. It was the return to normal size and function of the "dangly bits" that took a while.

I hope that helps.

I I might check out a couple off remedies to try

Please may I suggest  to drink water that been in the fridge, or Ginger and Lemon tea.. orPeppermint tea

If possible  and work allowing avoid going out after 11am until around 3pm

Have your curtains shut do not open windows after 10am until 5pm

Last jab was in March, taking me through to late June, so I expected to start to see some improvement by now, but No!

Thanks - I hope I've got something to look forward to... Your comment on the dangly bits aren't functioning at all - not so much as a twitch! Tried Viagra and a pump and both failed miserably!
