Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I am on my fourth year of being on anastrozole. No horrible side effects for me. Still get hot flashes. My body temperature regulation seems askew. So, I am in charge of the thermostat and fan controls LOL. Dry EVERYWHERE 😉. My skin got “grandmother-type” wrinkly within 3 months of starting the drug. And the occasional pimple on my face turned into an actual case of acne, which I now have a prescription of Retin-A for. My hair... it definitely has affected it. It is quite thin but I’ve not lost coverage.

Try drinking fresh squeezed vegetable juices - helps to hydrate inside and out!!! About 3 8oz glasses a day....,

My hair was thinning on anastrozole, but seemed to stabilize when I switched to Exemestane. But so DRY!! Got moisturizing shampoo, not sure it;s helped. I'm trying to wash it less often.
