Tamoxifen - Too hot ...too cold

Hi, I am one of the community champions here in this group. I am sorry I don't have any tips myself but thought this information from Macmillan might be helpful Link to Macmillan Info

I hope you find some relief from this soon, it sounds pretty frustrating, best wishes 

Hi, sorry to hear you're struggling. My nurse suggested a cold gel thing you put in the freezer that then goes in your pillow case for night time hot sweats. You can then turn the pillow over if you get too cold.

Not sure I've explained them correctly but can't remember what they're actually called. Apparently they're cheaper if you buy the pet variety in somewhere like b and m.

Maybe a wheat bag for when you're cold so you've got the choice? Sorry I don't have any other tips. I too am usually cold during the day - unless having a hot flush that is, and night time start with the electric blanket on only to be throwing all the covers off next minute and back again!

Hope you manage to find something that helps you. 

Take care 

Hi, have you tried taking the tablet at a different time of day? Sometimes that can help. I've also read that magnesium glycinate can help with symptoms. I've been on Tamoxifen for nearly three months.

Good luck!
