Youll get the body aches from exemestane because its half life is about 50 hours.
That means you take tge pill Monday, youve got a full dose. Take it Tuesday, youve gotv1/2 Mondays a full dose of Tuesdays. Now youve got more than the original dose in your system.
If youve been on it more than a year, ask your dr if you can take it every other day or take a 2-4 week break.

But are you sure its not the Verzenio? Did you have any initial side effects with that? Diarrhea?

I read in an article that half life for anastrozole is 50, Letrozole 48, and exemestane 24. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7848814/#:~:text=The%20half%2Dlife%20of%20anastrozole,original%20AI%20without%20side%20effects.
