Should I still be feeling ill?

Hello ,

I can't help with regards to the tamoxifen - I want to 'bump' your post up - hopefully other ladies taking tamoxifen will see your post and will respond.... in the meantime....

I am sorry you find yourself here, the place none of us want to come to - however, there is a bonus, the girls and guys on here are amazing, the knowledge between us all is incredible.  You seem to have gone thought your whirlwind of a journey and are now on the 'what the heck just happened'. 

I'm sorry I can't help you with regards to tamoxifen, what I will say is, I'm on letrozole and I have various side effects on and off over the time.  I do suffer terrible with tiredness, although I think this is me and my rubbish food diet and boardering on having diabetes ..... my blood sugars would scream 'I am diabetic' (I do need to get on top of this).  

I think with all that has gone on over the months, plus the pandemic playing its part, along with the tamoxifen its highly likely to be natural not to feel like yourself..... you need time.  If this the tiredness is completely not you - then maybe ask for a telephone appointment with your doctor, you might be low in iron...... this all said, it could be a side effect of tamoxifen.... hopefully other ladies that are taking tamoxifen will be along soon and can help with advice.

If you have trouble getting to sleep at night, there is a thread called 'AWAKE' it's open to everyone, its a place most of us go both day and night - yo can ask questions, share jokes, even take the virtual 'Lucky Pants' with you to appointments - in the thread you are never alone and no question or worry is ever to much.  I'll attach a link below, in case you want to pop in there.
