Tamoxifen > Chills and fever (but only briefly)?
I have now been taking Tamoxifen for 3 weeks. No major side effects yet, but I keep getting very chilled. Searching the forum I've seen others mention this as well.
What I haven't seen mentioned is that if I take my temperature while feeling chilled, it is usually up between 99.5 - 100.00. I keep thinking I'm getting sick, as the chills/shivering have always been a sign that I have a fever. But then after awhile (20-30 minutes usually) the chills subside, and my temperature goes back to normal.
I'm assuming this is a side effect of the T (anything weird these days I assume the same, such as a crazy cramp in one toe). Just wondering if I might be going just a little bit crazy though...
I feel so cold so much of the time I'm almost looking forward to some hot flashes...
