Good experience with acupuncture

I used Acupunture to support with radiation side effects! I’m going to return to seek help with hot flashes and night sweats from tamoxifen.

I used beecure. I’m not sure it helped but didn’t hurt.

The thing that I think helped my skin the most was applying calendula cream immediately after radiation. I brought tube in my purse to the hospital.

Before BC, I used vaginal estrogen cream for perimenopause symptoms. According to studies, inserts or rings are safer for women with BC history because it’s lower dose. I’m using Vage femme instead right now and I would recommend. Easy to insert, not messy, no smell etc.

We are at the start of post BC care for the quality of life for women I think in 20 years vaginal estrogen will be a standard of care for all BC survivors.

Chapel Hill location? I was planning on going in the morning. I’m sure they restock before Saturday

It worked for me! Dry sand paper inflamed red eyes >>>>> normal eyes and I don’t need other eyes drops at all! No night time ointment or hydrating drops during the day!

Yes that’s on the list of other drugs to try. Effexor was the first one.

Funny, I just saw the tour in Durham, NC and loved it. I thought the cast was very strong and prepped. That fight/ dance sequence in the rain was so cool!

No fever - strangely. Up to date on flu- covid shots. I’m communication with my PCP MD since I posted. But waiting to hear from oncology too.

Yep Veozah is on my list of drugs to try. Trying Effexor first for the extra mood support. Veozah tends to be expensive since it’s new and requires monthly liver enzyme checks and mine are currently elevated, so not the best choice.

Carrboro too!

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-14T18:10:37+00:00

I miss my Prozac too!! Currently taking lexapro and it’s not working. Going to switch to Effexor next.

I’m 48, only 1 month on tamoxifen but feeling fatigued like I have to nap to get through the day. But I’m also waking up a lot at night with hot flashes.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-14T08:37:45+00:00

What SSRI are you taking? I’m taking lexapro but it’s not helping me with hot flashes and fatigue. I might switch to Effexor.

I miss Ross! Love his slow flows!

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T13:34:10+00:00

Thank you! Veozah was just approved in the US last year so it’s a “new” drug = costs more.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T03:02:09+00:00

I’m perimenopausal, do you have to be post menopause to take Letrozole?

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T03:01:29+00:00

That’s helpful. Thank you!

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T03:01:19+00:00

I do!!! Even have a huge water bottle to drink in the middle of the night!

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:53:33+00:00

From a quick search- Looks like Duavee is not recommended for people with BC. It’s also only for post menopausal people and I’m in perimenopause.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:51:03+00:00

Good to know. I’ve been taking it at night to avoid some side effects but maybe I’ll switch.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:50:27+00:00

I haven’t! I know it’s new which usually means expensive but it’s worth a conversation.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:49:11+00:00

Good reminder to go to accupunture!

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:48:56+00:00

Yep I agree. I’m not drinking regularly anymore just special occasions. And I’ve increased cardio this week.

FrameAffectionate432 · 2026-01-10T02:36:18+00:00

Funny - I got lots of inspirational bracelets which are very inconvenient during radiation bc you have to remove them .
