Has anyone found any significant difference in hair thinning between the various inhibitors? I've been on Anastrozole for about a year and a half. I have knee pain/stiffness when I get up from a chair or walk up and down stairs, but once I get going on a flat surface, no pain. I also have chronic tiredness and terrible insomnia. However, I can live with all those. The hair thinning is particularly tough for me because I already struggled for years with androgenic alopecia. Fortunately, it was mostly around the hairline and on top and I have naturally wavy/curly hair, so even the dermatologist I saw a few years ago had to get right on top of me to notice. I then started taking Rogaine, which seemed to stabilize my hair. However, since being on the Anastrozole, the thinning seems much worse. I don't lose hair, just each hair is so thin. I've had two really humiliating experiences recently where I was in a picture and shocked at how noticeable my thinning has become. I know that the hormone therapy is key, but, boy, I already felt so bad about myself and how I looked, and now I feel so defeated and depressed. Any insights? Experiences? Advice? Thanks for listening!
