Ah that would be me that said adopting a healthy lifestyle helps you tolerate tamoxifen better. Perhaps I didn't express this precisely enough. I just meant to say that it helps me. When I let my exercise slip I feel older and my mucles stiffen up, when I drink alcohol my hot flushes become more intense and frequent, when I overeat I gain weight (and get depressed). Simple and basic stuff I know but paying close attention to these things, I believe, helps me avoid these problems - whether they are tamoxifen induced or just due to getting older. I certainly didn't mean to make anyone feel guitly. As I think I also said in my post suzie, we are all different and can react differently to the medication. The only way for Lynn to know how she will react is to give it a try.
