Side effects of Letrozole: Weird muscle reaction

I just couldn’t handle it anymore.
One just hopes they made the right move but it was quality of life I put first.

They made me ache and feel like I was 100 years old I could barely get out of a chair. I tried 3 different ones all had the same side effects.

I had a second follow up with my surgeon. All was stable, mammo and MRI. I told her about all the physical symptoms and now blood work changing rapidly.
Told her my oncologist said chance of reoccurrence is 50/50, she explained that is the general population my age, my diagnosis etc. She said she would help find out more information. She called me later that day and said she presented my case to oncologists she works with at her hospital and they all thought my case would have a low % rate of reoccurrence.
With all factors considered, I stopped the Letrozole.
My oncologist probably won't be happy but I feel ok with this decision.

After only 2 weeks my eyesight was blurry. I was told by dry eyes and to stop talking Letrozole and everything would return to normal in a couple of days. That was 4 months ago and no better. Even after using prescribed eye drops every 2 hours. I used to be able to read a newspaper and do crosswords and suduko, now cannot read a paper or accurately get the numbers and letters in the squares of puzzles. Have new glasses but they don't work either. Head optometrist checked and prescription correct. I see ophthalmologist specialist next week and would like some information to present to him

After three visits back to my oncologist, I too stopped the Letrozole - on his watch until mid January and we'll reevaluate. My symptoms are debilitating - my hands are worthless, my whole body just hurts. Bones, muscles etc. I have no options for pain relief since I'm also on a blood thinner....

How long after stopping did you notice any improvement in how you feel? I'm very worried about the neuropathy in my hands being irreversible.

Hope you are improving.
