Horrendous night sweats, help!
« on: December 19, 2021, 06:58:47 PM »

Hi, I'm new here and I'm looking for ideas and advice from others who experience horrendous night sweats. Mine are so bad I could change my bedding during the night, I'm soaked and I stink  my bedroom stinks and it's getting me down. GP prescribed Pro banthine last year just before lockdown and it worked immediately. About 3 months ago GP changed it as it had completely stopped having any affect. Can't remember what they prescribed but it hasn't worked.
I'm concerned about HRT as family history of breast cancer.
I've tried black cohosh in the past as well as sage, neither made a difference.
Any tips ladies xx

Hi and welcome to the forum, I sympathise,night sweats are awful, I have an air con unit in my room and also a fan on all night,thankfully my OH doesn't mind a cold bedroom. Re the HRT,that was my reason for not going on it,3 close family with BC but I think it all depends on if it is oestrogen related BC,have a look at Dr Newson on YouTube,she's very knowledgeable on Hrt and who should and should not take it
