Hi again @ Cheryl_C. The aim of Tamoxifen/ Aromatase inhibitors eg Letrozole is to eliminate oestrogen .I had the symptoms you describe when I went thru the menopause and my oestrogen levels fell dramatically and it was very scarey. You will adapt and get thru this phase as so many have before.

If you can accept it’s normal and you are normal a sense of humour about it can help all concerned.PS My husband even put a whiteboard up for me of the kids comings and goings - not always up to date mind.
