I am 61, I am currently on Exemestane. Anastrozole did NOT agree with my body … many many side effects-literally out me in a tailspin mentally and physically. I started exemestane- and had a lot better luck. I
Did end up taking a little vacation from it due to bad hand joint aches( I ended having mild arthritis), insomnia and more fatigue .I have started acupuncture over a month ago and have NO side effects- it has been a blessing . I also do yoga(a few types), walk or swim.

@celestebradham I was reading your post. Hope you are doing well still. I was interested in how long your did acupuncture. I do acupuncture treatments for scar tissue and nerve damage from my mastectomy. It had relieved my pain and spasms significantly and made such a difference. It’s been a journey, but a positive and bless journey. So thankful for the acupuncture treatment.

My oncologist refused to change my meds from Anastrozole to Exemestane. I got rid of him and got prescription changed.
