Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I also have insomnia - my oncologist recommended Tylenol PM. That helps with my joint pain too. My hands hurt SO much, this never happened before the Anastrozole (I've been on it for almost 5 months). I started exercise too - that has helped with the fatigue. I had no skin problems, I had 21 treatments, maybe you had more?

I tried the Tylenol PM. It made me so jittery I thought I was going nuts. I did have 30 radiation treatments and burned pretty bad. I tell you what, if I didn't have a farm and all the chores that go along with all the animals I probably wouldn't go outside on these cold days. But after I do I always feel better. Lol

@kathyomaha55 I was only on anastrozole for 3 weeks and in the. Morning my hands were so stiff there was no way I could bend them plus, I could barely get out of bed. It hurt so bad!
I had 20 radiation treatments and was stage 1.
I applaud your endurance! I cannot do it! But I am going to try aromasin (so) soon! Just had a hysterectomy that was also supposed to help my chances of recurrence....
