I was not on HRT but the aromatase inhibitors cause super menopause, even for those of us who had gotten through actual menopause. In my experience things eased up over time (months) but I realize that is not true for everyone. A naturopath recently suggested I take CBD and Curcumin for other ailments and I wonder if either would help. It sounds like a naturopath or functional medicine doctor could help. I personally felt committed to the full course of aromatase inhibitors but I was not coming off long term HRT which would mean a double whammy for you.

Hi
I do take cbd/cbn oil which is for sleep and helps my fibromyalgia and pain. The aromatase inhibitors also cause osteoporosis bladder issues liver issues . I know a lady on one of them. She's been on it 4 years now. Her rib cage is collapsing, Her hips have horrible Osteoporosis caused by the drug.
I already have osteopenia and osteoporosis in my spine with a compression fracture, plus tinnitus from going off hrt which helped it alot. So no my oncologist agreed not worth the risk. I am praying raduation and my surgeries are enough.

Hi - just wondering about Curcumin as I read that Tumeric has estrogen like properties and told I should no longer take??
