Yes I have put mine down to too many hot flushes in the day/night so I eat dark chocolate as this helps. I also swim twice a week but have to carry a bar with me in case I get cramp when I come out - things you have to do I blame it on the tamoxifen big time xx

I had terriblecramp when I started on tamoxifen. Had a glass of tonic before I went to bed. The quinine in the tonic helps.
