no sweat!!

hi, i finished my chemo in march and started tamoxafen the following week, lately i have noticed when i am at the gym or mopping the floor, i don't sweat like i used to, both my arms and legs feel really hot and itchy,  has anyone else had this sensation and does it pass?

  • Hi Kathy

    Welcome.  I have found the opposite.  I have been on Tamoxifen for 3 and a half years.  I was having night sweats previous to this and still have them - about the same.  I have found that when I exercise  I sweat profusely - I used to hardly sweat even when I highly exerted myself.  Aren't we all different?  I never had Chemo so I can't comment on that.  Hopefully someone who has had similar experiences will add a comment.  It is always worth mentioning to your GP on your next visit.  I have found my GP very attentive to my problems. Keep up the  exercising though as it is very good for your mind as well.  XLeonie
