bjohnson,
I haven't been taking Exemestane for very long so I want to see if time will lesson the side effects. I had headaches and joint pain prior to taking this drug so I am trying to determine how much worse it is with this drug. My issue is that I take pravastatin and I infuse immunoglobulin daily and they also can cause headache and joint pain.

This drug is so important that I am going to try to tolerate it. I don't want to have a 3rd primary breast cancer. We will see what happens.

Could I ask you how long you have taken Anastrozole?

My oncologist did say that often patients who have trouble with Anastrozole do just fine with Exemestane. So, I think it might be worth a try.

Sorry that you are going through this too.
