I took them for 6 months and the side effects were crippling. It has been 11 weeks now and I am clear headed, sleeping better, still have stiff joints and fingers not bending at all, but those are also side effects of radiation. I now take DIM plus, calcium, Vd3, selenium, Ve, garlic, and an immunotherapy vitamin. Have felt 80% better and improving every day. Went for mammo (1 yr) and ultrasound and should hear from Dr tomorrow. I will not put that poison in my body. It causes too many other issues. The starvation of all estrogen to the brain in that short time has now caused head tremors. No way.

@jeaniebean
I'm off of them for 1 week now and going to be off another couple of weeks. They say we need to reduce weight to help make a difference and, so far, I cannot lose weight no matter how much exercise I do. Now that I'm off, my weight is starting to go down a bit. For me, the exemestane is not too bad but I have noticed my ankle joints feel much better off.

Hi jeaniebean,
Are you still in remission and off the aromatase Inhibitors?
Asking for myself as I have horrific side effects and am considering DIM and other supplements. Thank you. Mine was invasive lobular grade 3, stage 2B.
