I have heard that at Sloan Kettering and NYU Lagonne, some doctors are experimenting with having patients take Letrozole every other day. I too am cutting my dose down - 3/4ths but think will go to half. Strange pains in ear lobes and neck.

I had terrible joint pain with Anastrozole. My oncologist switched me to Letrozole at half dosage - my choice of a full tab every other day or 1/2 tab everyday. Shortly after I also started taking collagen supplements. I also have osteoarthritis in my knees, but with this change I am relatively pain-free suffering mostly from stiffness when immobile too long.
