Developments
I think I've mentioned that I've been suffering a bit (okay, a lot) of depression over the fall/winter. So to find out if what I'm experiencing is being caused by the Tamoxifen, I got the green light from my doctor to go off of the drug for up to a month and see if I notice any difference. It will help me deal with the problem if I know the cause. I've also heard that the side-effects can lessen over time. Now it's wait and see.

Sounds like a good strategy. I know some people who take a drug for something, then another one for the side effects, and another for the side effects of that, until they have a whole handful and no idea what is causing what! Seems like it's way better to know.

Glad to hear your doctor is open to you taking a break from it. I'm sorry you're having to go through this...I have been there. Hopefully you will get to the bottom of this soon.
ReplyDeletePlease give John a belated Happy Birthday from me....he's only 50! No fair!
And you have snow....no fair on that one, either. The Cascades just seem wet and icy these days. Haven't been out for any snowshoeing yet and don't know if its going to happen! Megan
