Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

I have atrial fibrillation with tachycardia (episodes) and had pretty severe osteoporosis when I started an aromatase inhibitor. My Oncotype was low at 8, but grade 3 with lymphovascular invasion. Nodes were clear, high ER/PR+.
I took Femara (letrozole) for 5 years and kind of miss it because it made me feel safe.

Logically any natural supplement that does the same thing (eliminate estrogen) will have the same side effects, right? If that is what people want, then the regulated and tested medications might be preferable.

Such challenging decisions we each must make. Wondering how you fared, in the osteoporosis results, after having been on AI for 5 years. I am taking Anastrozole, now in month 7, and hoping to mitigate loss of BMD . Were you able to mitigate further bone loss?
