What time of the day do you take tamoxifen?
Does it matter what time of the day you take the medicine? Currently I take it at night. I am asking because my hot flashes are sooooo bad during the night and then during the day I am freezing. Do you think it would make a difference if I took it in the morning instead? I am having a hard time sleeping thru them. Thanks…

Walk in the sunshine for 10 minutes. Light a candle. Be who Joe and Moopy were in your life..it can sadly be stolen from us too soon. Don't…
