Tamoxifen is a beast. Joint pains, bloating, foggy brain, energy drain, menopause on a fast track. Initially, it’s def hard. Eventually though, it becomes your new normal and it becomes easier. Symptoms are still there but you get used to them so they aren’t as noticeable. I did it for 5 years. It wasn’t easy but we do what we have to do.
I have had a hard time post tamoxifen as my body tried to reestablish another new normal.
Weight gain, wonky moods, cravings, osteoporosis, crashed after eating, cortisol issues, constipation and bloating. Does this resonate with any of you or was it just me?
. I have discovered an amazing wellness store though and swear by their vitamins, supplements and everything else. They have so many less toxic options that should honestly be in everyone’s house but esp cancer warriors homes! It has made huge differences. I had frozen shoulder and bc my bc basically depended on estrogen like a soda addiction lol, I am not able to do hormone therapy.
They offered me cortisone shots but all that does is mask the pain. They told me PT but I am so busy with work I don’t have time for PT. 3 weeks on the vitamins I noticed energy improved and my arm started to free up. 6 weeks in I was able to start getting dressed by myself. 6 months in and my metabolism is restored, my spikes are no longer, I went from a bloated 12 to a comfortable 6 as it has helped to restore my gut health! All post effects from tamoxifen that nobody us about. please know there is a company that offers cleaner , safer options that are safe for us!
Let me know if you want information about tamoxifen. I can not even imagine my daily life without tamoxifen anymore.
