I had chemo in 2004 and was told it pushed me through menopause. I no longer have periods, but have started terrible times when my body startes to tingle, gets real hot inside, then sweats profusely, then cold with chills. Is this menapause or hot flashes. I can not live wit h this! any herbs or help????????
Sounds like menopause. Try an over the counter soy supplement. I have friends who swear by it.
Possibly you are having symptoms of menopause..I would check with your doctor. Before you take any over the counter medications, including herbal supplements…make sure you talk to a doctor or pharmacist..it can affect existing conditions you may have, or may not be ok with any other medications you may be taking..Good luck!
What did your doctor say?
go see your doctor you are not alone i have heard of this before in women going though menopause good luck
it’s menopause. you have the option of getting hormone replacement therapy from your doctor or herbal medicine from a holistic doctor but go see one it will help.
Yes, it definitely sounds like menopausal hot flashes. You might want to talk to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy (which may not be indicated, depending on the type of cancer you had). In most women, they go away after the 1st year.
Reducing stress in your life will definitely help. Also give yourself plenty of time to do what you need to do in your daily life. Don’t be in hurries that will elevate your stress level causing some of those symptoms.
I will come back and give you more tips later on in the next week.
You are not being ‘pushed’ into menopause. Tis just the right time for you. Get a good fan!!
this sounds like menopause to me. there is a blood test that will tell you for sure based on your hormone levels. your ob/gyn can order it and definitely check w/ dr’s before taking any herbal stuff; they can sometimes affect drugs you are taking now and that would not be a good risk. you’ll want your dr. to rule anything else out as well. my sister went through ****** cancer treatment and the same symptoms.
Sounds like menopause to me, I’m 50 also. Below is a yahoo search site for menopause natural rememdies.
You sound like my mom!! Limit Caffeine!! That causes hot sweats!
Also the GNC store has a wonderful line of products for women that are soy based!!
My mom has tried them…I am watching an learning cause one day it will all happen to me and I want to know what works!!
Good Luck and congrats on making it through chemo, you will make it!
Soy products help.
I think that it is the beginning of menopause.
