Anyone had nausea as a side effect of tamoxifen? What helps?

Good morning everyone, I switched to Tamoxifen a year and a half ago because i couldn't tolerate the side effects of the other drugs. I know I've commented here several times that I wasn't having any side effects from Tamoxifen, but now several conditions have appeared. I am 76 years old, so I'm not sure whether these conditions are age-related or due to the drug. I'm having joint and muscle pain, soreness in my hands, legs, and feet and how can I describe my hair??!!?? It's dry and straight, lost all its body. I'd appreciate anyone's posts about your experience with this drug after being on it for over a year.

Good morning. I, like you, did not have any side effects from Tamoxifen until 1 1/2 years into taking it. I had incredible knee pain and swelling last year, some muscle aches, weight gain, and I can totally relate about the hair - what a mess!
I’m 48 and now almost at 3 years of taking Tamoxifen. My dr would like 5 so I’m going to try to make that. I try to stay active as I do think that helps.
