It’s been about two years. I believe my neuropathy was triggered by the letrozol. That didn’t go away. I have gone down hill since taking it. I have major fatigue, sleep issues, joint pain, etc.

@vtgal -- my three cancer meds including letrozole have made my neuropathy a bit worse, but not enough to make me stop taking the meds.

Also, I've had adverse side effects to other meds that did not stop until weeks or months after I stopped the med. Doctors would usually question that and mention the half life of the med, but clearly the med triggered another issue that was now ongoing even after the med wore off. Neuropathy can certainly be one of those things.

I am prone to lots of adverse reactions to meds and since I can tolerate letrozole, I'm very hopeful for @coldia. 🙂
