after breastcancer

I am over 12 months clear of breast cancer and I am on tamoxifen  and I have a lot of tingling  and numbness in my hands and feet also pins and needles and little shocks

Does anyone else have these side effects and if so what do u do for them

Hugs Karen

  • Hello Karen:) It is nice to see you on here. Yes,magnesium is a wonder drug for me,but ONLY Blackmores magmin.I have tried different ones when it has been out of stock,and they truly don't work.I actually spoke to the pharmacist about it,and he explained it  in such detail that I had no idea what he was talking about!!!!Lol.Anyway,get some of it and give it a try.I take two tablets a day ,at the same time as I take my Tamoxifen.You can take up to 6 tablets a day.Let us know if it helps.Cheers Robyn xox

  • Magnesium eased mine when I was on tamoxifen , I'm now on a different medication but have continued to take it recently I didn't take it and within 2 weeks everything returned it's taken weeks for it to go away again. This may help but it takes a while to kick in and you may have to vary the dose. Hope it works for you. Adean
