Tamoxifen 1 month on

Have been on this drug I had been fearing so much for about a month now and not doing too bad. The sleep disturbance is definitely the worst thing for me - so much so that “sleeping tablet” Thursday is one of the highlights of my week. On the upside I get much more done since I’m not wasting it on pesky sleep  ;). I have just noticed in the last 3 days that I might be getting a small amount of joint pain. I have noticed it most in the morning in my hands that they need a good stretch out. I have noticed a little brain fog but I still don’t know if this is the tablet or the lack of sleep from the tablet (I know what u think @kezmusc  :D). It’s not too bad but I did call a new work colleague by the wrong name last week  :o. I have noticed at night too when I’m trying to read that things seem slightly more blurry with or without my glasses - again, not sure if it’s the tablets or the tiredness. I’m also a little crankier and even more impatient and intolerant of idiots that I used to be but I think that could be more a side effect of what I have been through this year - life’s too short to deal with idiots. 

All in all im actually doing pretty well and consider myself to be lucky so far. Only time will tell if the sleeping improves as my body gets used to it. Will have to wait another 2 months to see what happens. 

Really long for the days of a decent sleep when I didn’t wake up with hot flushes though!!
