I'm awake now...again

I agree with you,in that Tamoxifen can cause you to wake periodically in the night.Before BC I was a very sound sleeper,and now,after 12 months on Tamoxifen,I wake at 1am and 4 am.I have no idea why it is so regular.The only good thing now is,that I go pretty much straight back to sleep,whereas in the early days I would lay awake for long periods.I don't have lymphodema,so I can't comment on that,but I can tell you that the hot flushes and mood swings,definitely do improve.I also has nausea to begin with,but it went after the first month or so.My hot flushes took about 8 months to really reduce to the point where they are now,and I only have maybe 4 or 5 a day.I still say that exercise is the best thing for them.I also keep a jug of iced water in the fridge,and sip it all day long.It helps to keep your core temp down.I bought a chillow pillow,and this has helped ENORMOUSLY!!!I go to the pool almost every morning and do walking amd running in the water.No hot flushes while I am in the water,and more calories burnt in the pool than on land!!!!!I would go to your GP and ask for something for the nausea.Stay in touch.xoxRobyn
