@kmakm,
This just freakin sux. I do not know how you manage quite honestly. Mine is not quite as bad as that. However, the you beauty blackmores supplements I bought were $60 for petes sake. That will only last a month. Can't afford massages, accupuncture was a waste of $600 I didn't need to throw away. I am supposed to have an MRI on my back but every sent I earn at the moment is going in horse feed and water so that's still on the back burner. I litterally do not have the bank account to keep trying shit that does nothing to compete with these hard core HT drugs. I too have borrowed money of my mother to have a few small luxuries. I am saving up for another new softer mattress (my gosh these things are expensive) this will be number three in three years so I don't go ass up when I forget things no longer work like they did and lock up. I spent yesterday on the end of a crowbar shifting posts that have moved 6 inches with the drought and can hardly walk today. Things that only a couple of years ago would not have caused me to flinch. Nothing is different to what I have done for the last 15 yrs. It's crap you have to think how sore you are going to be tomorrow before you start todays work. Blah.
As far as Tamoxifen goes, the jury is out on how long is ok. It seems a month is fine and depending on what you read anything up to three months...who bloody knows. Unfortunately, the longer you take this thing the longer it takes to return to somewhat "normal". Yada yada yada......Phooey.
xoxoxo hugs to all.
