Ok before you make yourself crazy... did anyone tell you to take calcium but forgot to mention magnesium... I had to figure this out for myself.. One contracts the muscle while to other relaxes the muscle.. This could be causing your issues if you are taking on and not the other. Just a thought! My Onc only told me to take calcium!!

Any of anti-hormonal medications will raise your cholesterol and you will need to be on either fish oil or a statin to lower your cholesterol.

I've had the very rare side affect of cold flashes. I dislike winter because of it.

I get major hot flashes. I mean head soaking, hair dripping, have to take a shower, kind of hot flashes. Then, of course, I'm cold. I get leg cramps. I have a really hard time sleeping. I did, however, find something that has been helping the hot flashes quite a bit, iCool. It's normally used for menopause but I tried it and it worked. It doesn't hormone free. It made me feel more normal again.

I get cold flashes, so cold I shiver and put on a sweater, then 10 minutes later a hot flash and strip off sweaters, shoes, socks, and everything socially acceptable .... I won't even talk about trying to sleep going thru this routine. I have noticed eating food or drinking anything seems to trigger the worst of them. I ready to quit!
