Side Effects of Aromatase Inhibitors

I think it helps to keep in mind that forums tend to have posts from those who experienced significant side effects, and many people do okay on these meds. If you do decide to try an aromatase inhibitor, you can try different ones and different manufacturers if any problems arise (I am sensitive to fillers). In terms of side effects, I found that my body adjusted to the meds over time, and that exercise helped a lot with any joint pain, though mine was very minor.

I felt safe on the meds. I miss them now that I am done!

Can you share what "miss them" means for you now you no longer take? It was surprising that is something we might experience. first took Letrozole and struggled with side effects for about 2 years and stopped could not feel heard. Got another Oncologist 3-4 years post Mastectomy/Lymph node + surgery , started on Exemestane , without additional concern. In 2021 oncologist moved out of state . She was the BEST in my book. With Covid stressors and permanent oncologist not available began difficulty arranging fu.

Following my own dx Covid July 2022.. , I had serious communication, memory issues and lost my course of treatment and gave up. So I certainly appreciate your comment and hope to gain new insight. Thanks for any sharing you are comfortable to provide.
