Hot flashes- hot ears, back hot05/29/2008 |
I AM 43 AND TRYING TO TAKE TAMOXIFEN AFTER BREAST CANCER BUT I KEEP HAVING TO GO ON AND OFF OF IT BECAUSE OF THE HOT EARS AND MY UPPER BACK JUST BURN AND NOT FOR A SHORT TIME BUT FOR HOURS. I SIT UNDER FLOURESCENT LIGHTS ALL DAY AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS CAUSING ME THE TROUBLE. I AM TAKING CLONIDINE AND IT SEEMS TO HELP SOMETIMES. IS THIS FROM THE TAMOXIFEN AND IF SO WILL IT EVER DECREASE. I AM AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DON`T HAVE A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
The bright lights you have above you are the most likely culprit. Try to find a way to protect your head and back from exposure to bright lights and see if it is not better. Let us know.
