6 months agoWell I had them in menopause but not to where I got dizzy or poured sweat like my friends. Glad Letrozole hasn’t caused them bc it’s all hormone related and my cancer feeds off hormones at 98%. You just get some air or carry a personal lil fan. Cool wash clothes help too. This too shall pass. I wasn’t in menopause when I had cancer so not really an issue for me and I’ll take hot flashes over nite sweats and pms migraines anytime!!!

6 months agoI have not and it’s so annoying. I’m hot all the time! I can’t handle anything over 70 degrees. And the sweats never stop until I get cold. Best wishes! If you find relief please tell me all about it.

6 months agoMy doctor prescribed Pristiq for the hot flashes. It took a couple months to really notice the effects, but it has reduced hot flashes by 90%. I have been on it for 2 years. It also really helped with depression and anxiety from breast cancer diagnosis.

6 months agoI’ve tried Bonafide, they have two herbal supplements. Thermela was helpful. My acupuncturist recommended Embr Wave, which you wear on your wrist and helps relieve hot flashes!

6 months agoMy hot flashes & night sweats were overwhelming plus caused insomnia. This is all caused by the hormone blocking medication. I’m 15 years post menopause and never experienced these symptoms before. I took a chance on both supplements & Embr Wave and they help immensly!
