I too already had neuropathy of feet and hands. Started Letrozole and on 3rd day got TN - Trigeminal neuralgia - a form of neuropathy that feels have is an ice pick is stabbing your ear with pains in jaw and ears. I think it was caused by the fact that I was eating a lot of soy. Read it is not good to eat a lot of soy with letrozole. I've stopped letrozole and the pain is slowly residing. Doctor insisted can't get reaction from letrozole so fast. Seems lots of others too though. Good luck.

I know it's terrible to take 1 medication to hep you and then get another illness. I think that sometimes we are looking for reasons why, but maybe best to continue meds if needed and see if reaction disappears. I was on letrozole and couldn't stop crying. After 2 weeks my doctor changed my med. Then I heard os someone who had a reaction and was told to stay on med and reaction later went away. I think each case may be different because we all are also taking other medications and unfortunately have other coexisting problems...maybe not always causation by med
