Timing of HRT, anastrozole - taking day or night?

Hi! I have been on Anastrozole for 7 months. I take mine at night. I have had no issues with bone pain. My hair is thinner. It used to be very thick. I get very thirsty so lots of water. Just had blood work done and no issues with cholesterol, no high blood pressure.
I know I am fortunate as many women have side effects but I would say just try it and if you have problems then look at a different med but definitely try it. Hope you do well on it. 💖

Oh my, my original post was in 2019 and I've had a few changes since then! Started with the anastrozole but the bone pain was so great for me, I could barely move and prior to that I was a daily 3-mile walker as well as walking in the hills on weekends. My doctor switched me to letrozole which was only slightly better for me and finally to exemestane where I have been since then with very few problems. So for anyone out there, if you have problems with your aromatase inhibitor, don't hesitate to have a conversation with your oncologist. Everyone's body reacts differently...if one doesn't work, don't feel guilty or ashamed, speak up and find a solution! I'm almost at my 5-year cancer diagnosis and will be having a conversation soon whether I need to go another 5 years on these pills due to the aggressive nature of my second tumor (neuroendocrine). Best wishes to all out there...carpe diem!
