Hello I'm hoping you can all give me some advice. In May this year I started taking Tamoxifen. I'm really struggling with aches, pains and fatigue. I'm only 43 years old but I'm feeling like a 90 year old. I've spoken to my Oncology consultant and all they said was to take paracetamol.

Hello. Have a read of the Oestrogen reducing medications thread. It may have dropped off the front page. Lots of hints and tips.
