Tamoxifen, is there anyone out there who HAS NOT been suffering awful side-effects?

Hi!  I've been on.. and off..tamoxifen these past two years.  Like you,  I really didn't want to take it and as I'd had very good results on Herceptin,  I was not really convinced that I had much to gain from it.  I didn't notice any huge difference on it though I did complain of being tired, fatigued at work and struggling to get back my exercise fitness.  So I had a bit of a holiday from the tamoxifen and guess what?  I got incredibly sore and achey in the wrists down at the base of my thumbs.  This had been niggling for a while and is aggravated by my bike riding and yoga but it really became agony.  Had I been taking the tamoxifen at the time I would have cursed it bitterly and sworn off it but it wasn't to blame!  Wrists eventually settled down, now back on the tamoxifen and other than a few cramps, I have few complaints.  I now try to manage the fatigue with early nights and taking it a bit easier.  Best of luck with your treatment.  Fiona
