I’ve been on tamixifin for 2 months. Feeling fine, but my hair is shedding. I’d like to get my hair highlightedto cover the gray. Has anyone had experience with this? I don’t want to lose more hair or a chemical reaction ????? Any comments????? Thank you.

    I was in tomoxifen for 2.5 years. The first 1.5 years were ok. Then I noticed the hair loss. I have lost 50% of my hair. It was very thick to start with so I am lucky. Then I started having horrible joint pain in my hands..like carpal tunnel. I quit taking the tomoxifen 3 months ago and just recently went back on Letrozole. I had had horrible joint pain with Letrozole which I took for 1.5 years before the tomoxifen. It mimicked carpal tunnel as well. I am hoping I can handel this drug and that symtoms do not kick in for awhile. I feel like we are all struggling with these drugs and It is so difficult to lead a normal life. But we have to tale the drugs... If anyone else has these experiences let me know

    Good mornIng. I've been coloring my hair and I don't think it makes the hair loss worse. According to an NIH study I've read, about 25 percent of us will report hair loss. And they recommend taking vitamin C and Omega3. So maybe try that?
