Anyone else suffering with leg, toe, hand and finger cramps. I am presuming it is the Tamoxifen. Also am constantly sniffing which I was not previously and suffering with sinusitis because of the amount of mucus. When I blow my nose nothing there!
Been on tamoxifen since mid July last year. Hands feel swollen and achy in a morning but it does wear off. Ankles are swollen by end of day so put my legs up. Thought my runny ish nose was combination of wearing face mask/hayfever. Did get prescribed some stronger anti histamines but they are big and even after chopping them up i struggle to swallow them. Try and remember to take a Loratadine most days. Interesting to hear that it may be the drugs. I know I need to take them but every ache and feeling off is put down to them!
Keep going ... one day at a time x
