Tamoxifen Positive Stories Only Please

I have to take this stuff, and websites have a way of only revealing the bad stories. Can we have a show of hands here and people who made it through ok?

I made it thru my five years, but not without constantly asking my ONC if I could stop it. There are side effects, but not everyone gets them, or gets them as severely as I did.

I've been on 2 months now. I've experienced occasional muscle cramps, discharge, and hip/joint pain. I plan on addressing it to my mo this week. It's not unbearable. I've also gotten my period twice.

I took it 10 years ago. I did ok, lost the weight after I stopped. You will be ok.

It will be a year in April for me and I've had no side effects. Good luck!
