Tamoxifen side effect relief please?!

A rather intimate subject I know, but I am wondering if anyone can recommend an over the counter cream to relieve vaginal dryness which I believe has been caused by the Tamoxifen I have now been taking for 12 months. I've been doing some research but most of the creams available cannot be used internally. I'm sure that others out there may have experienced this and have found an effective solution. Vicki oOo

    Thanks Paula! I've been able to find that product through my online pharmacy and look forward to receiving it and being able to hopefully get some relief after a week of suffering. Cheers, Vicki

    I too have that awful problem. I am not on tamoxifen and believe it is caused by the instant menopause I was lucky enough to have acquired thanks to chemo. Sylk is a natural product so totally safe, no petroleum or anything like that. You can even buy it in woollies. It is where the KY jelly etc is. It is one of the recommended products by that professor guy who wrote the wonderful book on BC. That a breast care mires gave me to read. Sorry can't remember the name of the book (chemo brain). Not sure if I can claim that two years on. Good luck. Paula :)
