Hi Tenya:

I take 6 mg of melatonin.
That may help.

I was supposed to take anastrole before my surgery as my surgery got canceled as I got Covid.

I could only take one tablet and had to discontinue. I took one at 11 pm and had tingling in both legs both above and below the knees and then both knees gave out 30 minutes after I took it.
The next morning, my pulse was 152. Oncologist said to stop.

Now, after radiation, I am supposed to start Letrozole I March....

Wow. I am sorry to hear that. I had been taking anastrozole for almost 7 months when my joints locked up. I didn't have radiation because women after 70 don't get much protection statistically. Doc allowed me a brief vacation from the anastrozole for Christmas [which I stretched to 3 weeks] because of the anxiety. Do you know what the side effects of Lestrozole are? I see my onco in mid-March and I expect he'll switch me to that. Good luck and thanks for writing.
