Jeaniebean did you try different estrogen blockers? The reason I ask, is I am experiencing multiple symptoms that have become challenging to say the least. When I go to the Oncolgist appointment in a few weeks I’m going to ask to try a different one. I have been on anastrozole for 2 years now. With the pain in the joints and muscles pain waking me up, hot flashes which now just disturb my sleep, I’ve started with trigger finger which also wakes me up. I am a Yoga teacher and have my own practice which has gone through many changes due to the massive changes in my mind and body. Whew, no one has a clue what we go through when we get that cancer diagnosis and start our new journey through life. So Jeaniebean, what is a DIM supplement and how many estrogen blockers did you try? I am so thankful for all of you that share your stories. Don’t know why but that is hard for me.

@jkh I had almost exactly your same experience. Anastrozole for a year and a half with identical reactions to it as yours, including a trigger thumb. I tried a couple of other estrogen blockers and have now been on Tamoxifen for a long time. I have very few symptoms now.

JKH...read book Knockout...it is eye opening!! Many oncologists.have chaptrrs in the book DiM Is estrogen blocker / inhibiter made naturally, not big Pharma..it also has tiny side effects for me but couldn't function on als...am going to look into balancing hormones naturally too...
