  • Hi Kimmylove

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you had breast cancer.  While I don't have experience of taking Tamoxifen I thought I'd reply to you as you haven't had any replies yet.  I suggest that you try E45 cream and see if that helps.

    Hope this helps.

    Best wishes

  • I had blurry vision and massive fatigue on day 4.  I reverted to letrozole as I had just been changed over.  I think side effects differ speak to your breast care nurse if it continues. 

  • Hello Kimmylove, I started on Tamoxifen last June, and between hot flushes and itchy skin and fatigue I know how your feeling. I got daktacort cream for rashes off the Dr and thank god it really worked. And I try to drink a nice cold glass of water when it comes on me and it seems to help . Sorry to hear you've had breast cancer too. Best of luck.Two hearts
