hi [@Pri19]‍  my mother took it for a month, it has worked on her but because She can't tolerate and manage side effects, she has discontinued it for sometime. 

Dear Pri 

I started this end September. How are you finding the side effects.. I'm finding them really challenging

all the best Cat65 

I've been ok. Found a few useful tips on the Facebook group. 
 

i bought capsule shells from amazon to put the tablets in to reduce mouth sores 

Bulk Vegetarian Capsules

its worked very well as no longer have mouth sores

i also take antihistamines:

Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg one tablet in the morning 

and piriton as driesy in the evening and not getting any rashes  

i take my piqray in the morning as foubd my blood sugar levels remain normal ( have an at home blood sugar monitor to test myself) 

hope that helps! 

So lovely to find someone else on it as I think there are very few of us at the mo...Thanks for tip. I'm finding no appetite,nausea and very low mood which is frustrating .. you ve been ok on that front ? 

I've been lucjy and no nausea. Have found my appetite slightly lower but not by much. 
i have found my mood more irritable but that may be the fulvestrum injections
