Dental issues also? I've had the same dentist for over twenty years and never experienced dental problems until I began taking anastrozole. Two years ago this month, I took myself off that drug after ten months of pure hell (including migraines, joint pain, etc); however, the residual affects to my teeth still exist because I just had another tooth disintegrate piece-by-piece. My dentist made several attempts to save that tooth, but an oral surgeon removed it yesterday. I still face another dental challenge-- appointment set for next month with the same surgeon.

first off - I'd say bravo for taking control of your situation. So hard to know what to do and everyone while similar all so different. I am sorry to hear of dental issues and am just so bummed to hear of the hits you are taking from this diagnosis and treatment. I am going to share with a family member who is a periodontist - see what she has heard on this.
Im curious to know if your foot/joint pains went away after you stopped the meds? I am 1 year in and while maybe getting a a small reduction in night sweats my foot and hand pain and other joint sensitivities have not seen any relief. I have had no dental problems as of yet,.
I have now had a sort of embarrassing situation to discuss but well here we go. Last Nov I started having symptoms of hemorrhoids? Had never had, but tried med for that to no avail, tried yeast infection cream as someone recommended, no help either. Tried Cortisone - no help either. Thought originally it may have been die to digestive issues after a trip to mexico - very mild but lasted for a few weeks. Finally saw a colorectal MD and he said the AI has messed with my gut biome, yes maybe hemorrhoids up inside (???) and I needed probiotics. Fast forward a month on probiotics and sitz baths not really improved (and my med oncologist said she had never heard of that - however makes sense that lack of estrogen has just been disrupting another system:-).
Take care
