Hi Jemamine
I'm coming up to one year of being on Tamoxifen and handling it okay. I was 45 when diagnosed with BC in July 2010. Had chemo which finished Jan. 7 2011 and then started Tamoxifen in Feb 2011. I was pre-menopausal at the time of diagnosis. I do get some hot flushes, stiff joints, but I'm not sure if the chemo has caused this or tamoxifen but whatever has caused it, the side effects have not been as bad as I had expected and reasonably manageable. I hope you are in this category too. I remember my doctor telling me that your body gets used to it and symptoms usually settle somewhat. Not sure that I agree, I seem to have the same symptoms as when I started. I have also taken some tablets via my naturopath when may been helping. All the best to you.
