Hi
I would not get too worried about forgetting things stress does a lot to people. I have a stomach medication I have been on for years so I haven't had any issues with my stomach. As far as the getting up a lot at night I think that's a normal part of aging but my doctor just put me on vagifem. It is helping you can also try vaginal moisturizers I think replens is one. As we age we lose estrogen and then to have an estrogen blocker It does cause more issues with going to the washroom Maybe talk to your doctor about it

I went for my annual checkup this past Monday, April 22 My lab work showed BUN and Creatinine elevated along with a low filtration rate and elevated A1c This is an indication of kidney function They have always been normal I’m on Tamoxifen 5 mg daily thats all I can tolerate for the past several months I was diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma and had a partial mastectomy no radiation in February 2023
Now I’m wondering on top of all the side effects of this drug if I’m going to end up a diabetic too The kidney's help filter drugs
Has anyone on Tamoxifen had these issues I’m 82
Thanks for any input
