Tamoxifen..
Hi I had been on Tamoxifen for 3 months. I'm post menopausal. I'm 64. I started getting a discharge after couple months and heavy feeling in bottom of stomach like having a period again. Haven't had one in 18 yrs. Also diagnosed with ongoing constipation. Told med onc she said get gp to do an xray of pelvis and u sound. Had Gray then trans vaginally u sound. Results..thickened uterus and possibly hyperplasia along with increased uterine volume. I am off Tamoxifen and have appt with Gyno at qe2 in Brisbane on 12th may. I am more nervous of this app than when diagnosed with ILC. Has anyone had this while being on Tamoxifen. I d like to have a historectomy I don't need my uterus annymore then I could go back on Tamoxifen. Stay safe.. Tanya xx

Re: Joint pain, muscle stiffness
Hi all omg how many ladies have had to change their hormone blockers because of side effects. Im on second one. Side effects are if anything worse than first one. Excess sweating..hot flushes are a given..are joint pain also a given no matter which one you take. Sleep disruption..sensitivity to heat in finger tips..tingling too.I am going to talk to medical oncologist and find out my options.I am 7 months post surgery..4 months post radiation. Feeling a bit overwhelmed atm by everything. Take care.

Re: Joint pain, muscle stiffness
Hi all. I have been on exemastine for nearly 2 months. Now joint pain is vertually gone. Hot flushes are not as bad. Mainly nights. Have heat sensitivity and tingling in fingertips and feet. Weird. Just get up and get on with day. Not sleeping though. I dont sleep anymore than 2 hours at a time then wake up. Mentally tired. Try nap during day.Take care.
