Re: Tamoxifen help!
Are you taking Vit D supplementation? Have you had your Vit D levels drawn? With AIs it has been documented that patients who supplement with Vit D in high doses have far less incidents of arthralgia (joint pain) than those who do not. I take 4000IUs daily. My vitamin D level was very low at diagnosis and I require this amount to keep levels at 50. I also recommend anti-inflamatories such as fish oil and olive oil. You can order them from Swanson Vitamins online for a very reasonable price. Good luck!
