Hi all. New here. I started tamoxifen a month ago. 10mg. Half dose bc of long history of difficulties w meds and other conditions (migraines, erythromelalgia). I hate the side effects so far. They trigger my erythromelalgia flares and I’m walking around in a brain fog. Not sure how long to give it before I give up. 48 y/o.

Welcome, @kellyc14. It sounds like you have a history of sensitivity to medications. The side effects you're experiencing with Tamoxifen sound rough. Fingers crossed that the side effect ease up over time.

Do you take medication for your other conditions like erythromelalgia and migraines? Have you consulted with a pharmacist about drug interactions and symptom management?
