Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 Ok group, I've been watching & reading and several of you have spoken highly of Evening Primrose Oil, so I got it today at the store. What do I need to be worried about, if anything? I am currently taking an NSAID, Daypro (1800 mg/day) and vitamins but that is really it for the arthritis - the P is really ok. (And my knees hurt bunches lately, 'cept when I'm soaking in the hot tub!) My only concern with the EPO is that I'm also taking Tamoxifen as I'm at high risk for breast cancer, and the Tamoxifen reduces the rate of folks like me getting breast cancer by 66% (for those of you familiar, I have LCIS). Anyway, Tamoxifen blocks estrogen and it looks like EPO does something with Prostaglandins. This hormonal balancing act has me in over my head. Any suggestions much appreciated!
