Re: Tamoxifen vs AI clarity....
One more thing I had no idea how much your body needed or wants estrogen!! She said it was like I hit a brick wall instead of the natural progression of going through menapause and my feet and hand pain would have been something I would have had anyway just not as harsh and quick. But I just hit it hard and fast because of chemo, radiation and tamoxifen. She said her feet absolutely kill her by night time too and it was from menapause.
