CML and menopause

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good product - that is safe to use with Glivec to ease symptoms of menopause such as night sweats?

Many thanks

Marian

I been using Tridestra (3 month cycle) with no adverse side effects...but if you go the Herbal route (Black Cohosh?) you'd do well to check with a good pharmacist or your Clinician. Sleep is terribly important to us CML'ers and so the befefits of alleviating meno symptoms does become quite important!

 

Good luck, sure you'll get some good suggestions on here!

I have found natural progesterone cream to be the most helpful for the symptoms of menopause- see link above

best....Sandy

 

 

Thanks Sandy

I have just ordered some of the cream and will try it out. 

Thanks Vickie

My GP is anti giving anything unless absolutely essential - CML or not. I am going to try Sandy's cream which I suspect will be enough. My symptoms are fine except the night sweats which are just irritating.
