I had very severe hot flashes nine years ago when I started Lupron. I would feel a lot of fatigue just as the hot flash would hit. After a year, my oncologist recommended I get a depo-provera shot. It almost completely stopped my hot flashes. I was good for a year and a half until I became castrate resistant and had to start Zytiga. It brought back the hot flashes, even though I was on depo-provera.

Then we come back to today as I Sit here getting a hot flash. I’ve been on Orgovyx For two years now, and I’m still getting about eight hot flashes a day. I had a depo-provera Shot about a month ago And the intensity of the hot flashes is quite a bit less. I’ve been on 1800 mg of gabapentin for at least five years and it makes no difference at all with my hot flashes.

Most people don’t get the intense hot flashes I get.

I have an embrlabs.com wave product (wave 2). I’ve used it for Over five years now. It’s like a refrigerator that looks like a watch and sits on the inside of your wrist. You could set up one of the buttons for their night mode . Hit the button twice and It Produces cold waves at measured times during the night and prevents hot flashes and night sweats. They used to bug me, before I got this device . When you start to feel a hot flash coming on, you hit another one of the buttons twice and it sends cold chills through your arms and it reduces the intensity, shortens the life and can stop the hot flashes if hit quickly enough. The device doesn’t work for everybody, but the night mode makes a significant difference for people that have night sweats and night hot flashes.
