I take that one, it was ok at the beginning but now is getting pretty bad. I have had constant nausea and back/bone/joint pain. The pain is the worst, I live on a heating pad when I’m at home and work ( Hygienist) is getting very hard to do with the pain in my back and hands. Doctor said I have limited options for the AI due to my age so I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do. What about you?

Hi ! I was also a Hygienist👍 started on letrozole first, first month was OK after that awful, total of three months went off taking a break for two months started on exemestane same thing happened but worse felt horrible. Debating to go on any at all. I did read a couple girls took the exemestane every other day or three times a week and felt fine. I may give that a shot. It’s not worth feeling crappy to me all the time, my breast cancer was very minimal. All my test have been clear coming back. Praise God! radiologist told me very few people can tolerate these pill. My oncologist who wrote the script (don’t really care for him) has never heard of anybody taking it every other day or three times a week. I don’t believe him.. he is the type of doctor that it’s his way or no way. I would love to try an Acupuncturist, but I don’t know of any. I am in South Florida. I guess I should do some digging around. I do have severe carpal tunnel now Because of these drugs, had to see a hand surgeon, there’s a physical therapist in her office, but she does not feel physical therapy will help me much. I’m hoping to find an acupuncturist. I don’t know who goes to any to ask but I know it can’t Hurt. Praying you feel better soon
