Cheers
Garry
Yes. I now take Evening Primrose Oil (1 x 1500mg) and Sage capsules (2 x 285mg) twice a day which combats the worst of it. Both are available on the internet from Holland and Barret.
It's not stopped completely but is much reduced. Your GP might be able to prescribe something if they don't work for you.
Garry,
Almost everyone on some form of hormone therapy suffers from or has suffered from sweating to some extent. Just like the ladies during the menopause. I used to get hot flushes during the day and then around 5am I'd wake up sweating.
I tried all the recommended treatments but nothing worked for me. Once the HT stopped so did the flushes and sweats. I stopped going on holiday abroad as the heat combined with the flushes was just too uncomfortable. Your GP may be able to prescribe something.
Regards
Hi fifer

If u are not having any treatment then the sweating is probably down to the swollen lymph nodes that u mentioned in an earlier thread. U should push for that emergency MRI to locate the problem. Inflammation/infections will give u the sweating problem
