After learning I did not need chemo, the oncologist prescribed the medication Tamoxifen.  Maybe I should have gone against the advice not to consult Dr. google because I really did not know what I was jumping into.  Tamoxifen helps prevent a re-currence of the cancer and I am supposed to be on it for 5 years.  Well it made me feel like I had been poisoned.  I became extremely ill with nausea, dizziness, severe muscle cramps and aches, and insomnia.  I did not sleep through the night for 2 weeks straight.  I had to stop taking it.  I have done some research and learned there are different manufacturers that use fewer "fillers" and I am going to try taking a very tiny dose instead of the 20mg and taking the pills from a different manufacturer when I am ready to resume doing so.  Unfortunetly I am needing acupuncture and massage which are not covered by insurance and have run up a lot of co pays with my prescriber trying different medications to off set the side effects of the Tamoxifine.  I also was eager to start working, again, but had to cancel appointments because I was far too sick to work.  I am appreciative of any additional support I can receive during this time.  I really do wish to work and be independent.
