Is PSA rise inevitable after hormone therapy?

An answer and tips if you do get hot flashes.

I had really bad hot flashes after a couple of weeks. I would wake up at night and the sheet would be soaked under me because I’ve been sweating so much. After a year, my oncologist prescribed depo-provera, Every three months, and the hot flashes became much milder and less frequent. Then I started Zytiga And the hot flashes came back, Not quite as intense.

There are other drugs that can stop hot flashes like depo-provera which I used it for four years without any problems. Other Hormones can do it.

I now wear a Wave 2 from embrlabs.com. The device has two buttons, and I have one set for hot flashes during the day and one set for all night.

Jeff I have the Wave 2 but have not noticed any relief after 2 weeks Of having the hot flashes set high for 3 minute intervals—-seems like it cools for a few seconds then ceases. Does the all night mode stay cool AND give relief? Fewer flashes? Shorter length of flashes? Exactly WHAT does it do for you?I get them every 45 minutes at night and touch the button each time but again not much relief if any—-maybe faulty gizmo? Thanks for your advice.
