Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I have been on Anastrozole since May 2022. My problem now is my hair. It hasn’t gotten any thinner but in the last month it has gone wild! It is now very curly in the back above my collar but everywhere else it’s just coarse and wild. I take biotin-maybe too much? I was thinking perhaps it’s the lack of estrogen? I know I’m whining but it just feels like one more thing to deal with. Any others have this happen? Thanks for listening.

My hair and my facial skin are both very dry. My hair is almost beyond control, wild and wanting to stand out in the back and straight on top. Before Anastrozole my hair was naturally curly and easy to manage.

I was started on Arimidex in September 2019 and it started out ok but then I started having continuous UTI’s.
I talked to my oncologist about it and he made me look stupid when he said it had nothing to do with the medication.
I thought I would stop it to see if the UTI’s stopped and they did so I haven’t taken it for about 3 years.
If my cancer returns then it returns.
I started on Femara at first in July 2019 and I ached all over so my oncologist switched it to Arimidex.
I hope and pray you do well while taking it.
