Tamoxifun

Over the holiday I started taking tamoxifen again. The first few days were fine but now almost two weeks in I'm experiencing the same problems with fatigue that I battled the first time around. The medicine the doctor gave me to help with the side effects isn't, at all. On one hand, I want to take this medicine because it's my best chance for preventing a recurrence and I feel like I'm actually doing something to fight this disease every night when I take my pill. But on the other hand, who wants to feel like crap all of the time? I've started packing a soda with my lunch so I can get the extra caffeine boost in the afternoons, but I don't want to be dependent on that. If only Jackson understood what some of us would give to take multiple naps everyday, maybe he wouldn't fight it so hard. I go back to the doctor in a little over a month, hopefully he'll have another idea for fighting the fatigue. Until then, bring on the naps and caffeine!

Santa should have stuffed your stocking with some Red Bull. Have you tried that?
