Eating Crow????????
Recently, I made several posts about severe muscle cramping throughout my body, which I attributed to tamoxifen. My oncologist says there is no way that tamoxifen is causing my problems. So, she wants me to see a rheumatologist. Maybe it's not the tamoxifen. If it isn't, I'll be relieved to find out what it is so I can do…
