Half a month without Tamoxifen
HALF A MONTH WITH NO TAMOXIFEN:
Do I feel better without it? Uh...No. For one thing, we have measles in our area. I remember Chicken Pox (Mom concerned about our eyes. Put us kids together in one room, etc,.)
Measles? Nothing. So I brooded. Doctor offered the test. Oops! Not immune. Got the shot (not painful) but I have to wait six more days before I can feel sure I'm immune.
So far, as to Tamox, I don't have muscle aches and "remembered after-effects" that some women have had. So will that last?
So far, not scared into wanting more Tamox.
But: It's been clear for years that oncologist was not correct when he told me I wouldn't have that tummy bulge he has. I have it. Did I get it from Tamox? Who knows. I was often lazy during those five years. Now I'm collecting exercises for that bulge and more.
John's Hopkins has a giant pack of health handouts for diabetes, but I'm interested in the part: "The Skinny on Visceral Fat ... stored deep in the belly is the most harmful kind." There's a bit on exercise. I'm having laptop trouble switching back to that, but I usually just ask Google for John's Hopkins exercises for visceral fat.
Okay, doctors and patients: what's your experience with anyone being BETTER after leaving Tamoxifen? How long will it take?
I wish you health.
