Thats another fine mess I've gotten myself into!!!!

Hi Alex

I am in same boat. Just started on it about 6 weeks ago. Shocking hot flushesthat wake me in the night and mood swings. Seem to be very sensitive at moment to what people say. Going to speak to onc hen I see her next week.

Wishing you well

Hi ya Alex,

Im the same up 3/4 times during the night mind you I have an excuse. I have to take medication 2/3 times during the night which means I drink a lot of water. Mind you it still gets on my nerves. Never mind it could be worse.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

Tamoxifen takes you on a mega-trip through the menopause... ninety miles an hour... with knobs on! I had been through the menopause (easily with HRT) and then had BC which changed everything . It does settle down, although needing to go to the loo every 2 hours through the night is more an age-related thing. Okay, growing old is ****... but the alternative is...?

Hi I too am having problems with tamoxifen spoke to onc today and he said because i was pre menapausal not many alternatives, but didnt think being weepy joint pain etc were connected finished tratment chemo and radio thaught the worst was behind me

Hi,  Like Kate G I went from menopause to HRT to BC to tamoxifen.  And like everybody else on this blog I have some terrific flushes and wake up during the night.  I found that less alcohol reduces the flushes and lots of salty nuts stops me waking up during the night.  Mind you a large drum of single malt + a bag of salty cashew nuts works wanders during the night and adds hangover to my flushes next morning: the best cure for stress at work (who cares what the boss says when I'm floating about in alcholic fumes?)

All the very best
