My heart goes out to all of you struggling with anastozole. I had mastectomy after IDC diagnosis and have been on anastrozole for 6 weeks. So far only a few hotflashes and no other side effects. Just want to give hope to others…hoping all of you can find a different estrogen inhibitor that works better for you.
Question: how soon did side effects start after you started anastrozole? TIA 🤟❤️

For myself, bone discomfort and hot flashes began around 2 months after beginning anastrozole. 3 months after that, my b/p began fluctuating, and my blood work showed increases in cholesterol and glucose...but not sodium. I eat a reasonably healthy diet and haven't changed that...but the increases are only since anastrozole. Very frustrating.
