Hi Andi
Right from the beginning of my cancer adventure and all the book reading and internet surfing, I have been overwhelmed by all the info out there regarding supplements.

If a person (me) was going to start taking supplements, which ones would you suggest I start with. Right now I take calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, celexa, and arimidex. I have a big jug of flax seed and a coffee grinder, but I am afraid to take it because I am ER+ and I read somewhere that flax seed is a phytoestrogen. My onc. told me that phytoestrogens have never been "proven" to be a problem for ER+ people and he even said I could take Black Cohosh for hot flashes. It is also a phytoestrogen, I think.

So, what do you think I should start with? My main complaints are joint pain from the arimidex and fatigue. I would like to start out small and work up but I don't know where to start.
