Just for the sake of other readers here, I and others I know did not have significant side effects from aromatase inhibitors. I respect your approach and am interested in your info after finishing my 5 years of meds (I am 8 years out from diagnosis now). But so many are scared of the meds: some will have significant side effects, some won't, and they may be life-saving for some.

I am interested to know whether estrogen suppression via "natural" supplements also cause the same side effects as the AI's. I would think that effective estrogen suppression would mean similar side effects, no matter what the source. But if the supplements you are taking are selective, perhaps side effects are different. I would love to see any info you have on this, a link or article.

I went on the listen and care website, but could not see a forum for sharing my naturopath's name. I live in Canada and her name is Dr. Ciler Ataner.
