    Agreed. I've never heard of that brand before. I'll have to check them out.

    Started taking Tamoxifen this week, and so far, so good. I took most of the week off from riding, just commuted to work one day, and that pretty good. After last week, I obviously needed a break. Still a bit of fatigue, but nothing a nap doesn't help with.

    My skin is healing way faster than I expected. Not much color or peeling. My breast feels and looks normal. Very happy.

    I finally discovered the true meaning of fatigue. It hit hard again after my last bike ride, which was last Sun. It was only 20 miles, and not windy, but it basically took me 3 days to recover. Talk about SLEEP! I feel like a Grimm character. I think I'm over the hump now, only taking one nap after work today.

    So far, I haven't had the typical SEs from tamoxifen, although I have lost interest in food. It's weird. I don't even want cake. Haven't had a hot flash yet. Haven't gained weight.

    I'm planning on commuting to work on Sat. I have to accept that riding needs to be easy easy. It's really hard not to try to put some effort into it and ride normally, but I know that I don't have the energy to expend. It's challenging to accept limitations.

    Edit, actually, my problem isn't accepting limitations, it's identifying them. I just don't know how much I can/should do.
