Tamoxifin Blues
Hi all, I have been on Tamoxifin now for about 12 months, i have serious joint pain and cramps, i am moody and i seem to have lost my enthusiasm for anything, the hot flushes are really doing my head...
Hi Di, I know exactly where you are. I own my own business where I am on my feet all day. Recently I have had a week where it was so busy that by the time I got to Saturday I literally couldn't move, every bone and joint in my body was so sore, recovered by Monday morning just to go through it all again. I have now realised that I have to reduce my work hours.
I was thinking about going onto Tamoxifen which is meant to be better on the joints??
Do not be afraid of the anti-depresants, I had terrible hot flushes all day and night, and sweaty body so my GP put me onto a mild dose They don't make me happy, wish they did LOL, but they have taken the severity out of the hot flushes.There is also a group of ladies on here who I have read are taking magnesium tablets for their hot flushes, perhaps worth a try?
I sometimes feel like a walking zombie, hope it all gets better with time.
