I have the breast cancer gene. I had uterine cancer (side effects of meds to prevent breast cancer) my mother had breast cancer, my sister had cervical cancer. Since my hysterectomy, I still have severe hor flashes/night sweats. I take at least 4/5 baths a night. I've tried Effexor, increased the sweats. I am on clonidine, and nerontin. Nothing help decrease the severe systems. I cannot take any hormones, soy, or OTC meds. Is there anything else I could try? I sweat off all make up, my hair stays frizzy due to sweating. I'm hoping there is other avenues, as my quality of life and sleep is severely affected. In addition, I am gaining a lot of weight, with no change in eating habits.
