I had previously had blood clots so when I was put on Tamoxifen I was also prescribed Eliquis. The Eliquis was probably the cause of the gastritis and then tamoxifen aggregated it. Studies show that 14% of people develop gastritis with extended use of Eliquis. Has taken 4 months for the gastritis to subside but have to watch my diet! Due to developing the gastritis was the reason I was switched to letrozole. I no longer take Eliquis either.

On top of everything else, I had a stroke this year that affected my right arm and leg - still have trouble dragging a bit on the leg when I'm tired, but keep walking -- it helps with the circulation and I notice if I don't walk, I stiffen up more. Also have neuroma of foot. I've been putting arnica cream on my ankle and top of foot (I had two bad falls earlier this year and it's taken a long time to heal). The Mayo web site is a good source of information (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/breast-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20352470). You are doing great...keep up the good work!
