A Matter of Timing perhaps?

This is the fourth day I’ve taken my meds in the morning rather than at night.
And the second night in a row I’ve had some decent sleep.
One of the drawbacks of Anastrozole is hot flushes, and one of the proven things about poor sleep is if your bedroom (or you) are too hot or too cold.
Within half an hour of taking my pill, I am flushing red from head to toe, and it is nothing to do with the red tee shirt I’m wearing. I can feel the heat creeping downwards from my forehead, and one day Hubby is going to make good on his threat and fry eggs on my face.

Not that long ago, I thought I had the menopause thing under control, but talking to one of the team members the other day, it would appear that she has a reaction to certain brands of medication, and thus has to have a specific one. Hubby already knows that pills from different manufacturers vary as we wonder if some forget to put the painkilling bit in the mix.

I am currently taking meds from a different manufacturer than those two months ago.
It will be interesting to see what happens when I finish this month’s supply as the next box is different again.
Nothing in the NHS is uniform anymore. It’s bad enough when you can’t see the same GP if you manage to get an appointment in the first place, but now it’s pot luck with medication as they try to cut costs by buying cheaper products, which might not do what they say on the packet.
