Thank you for this. I’m weighing that decision right now and it’s been challenging to find others who decided against medication. I was on tamoxifen and almost ended up in the ER after a half marathon because of what it did to my muscles. I was switched to Letrozole after my hysterectomy and within two weeks could barely walk because of the joint pain. I’m two weeks out from being off the Letrozole and have asked to stay off anything until I travel for work in March. But then they want me to try examestane.

Oh, anastrozole, letrozole, and tamoxifen were all terrible for me, but exemestane is great, thank God! I hope it's the same for you!

I couldn't make it 2 weeks on Al . I have never felt that bad in my life. Brain fog, panic attack rushes in both arms every minute, balance, high BP, hard/slow to accomplish anything, not safe to drive . I do not want to even try a different one and wonder if anything natural to take vs. nothing.
