Hi Carolemj, I've now been on tamoxifen for a whole 8 months :). My hot flushes had settled down and now have flared up again. I play on and off again with my sheet and cotton blanket of a night time. My psycho mood swings have gotten a lot better (I think before I snarl now!!) Tears still tend to flow whenever they feel like it but it's really only when talking to others about their treatment and what they have been through. I don't have swelling of the legs although do suffer from sore knee joints and the ball of my left foot aches(? don't know why just that side?)I get tamoxifen brain (use a phone app called elevate to counter act this) and start the day off with a normal size stomach which swells as the day goes on (and is totally unrelated to the amount of food or fluid that enters my mouth!) I have just been to see my gp regarding high cholesterol and have also been given a tablet called Fluconazole for vaginal thrush which is a one off tablet. I'm still so incredibly lucky as no side effect is so severe that it will stop me from doing exactly what I want. Wishing you all the best. Xx Cath
