Greetings, everyone!
So grateful to find this thread…I’ve just started taking Letrozole (11/24) and have just had two ocular migraines (mostly visual disturbances, only slight headache and queasiness). First one 3 days ago, and this morning another. Worrying! I’d only ever had one before in my whole life (am 62). The possible link with Letrozole occurred to me so I googled. Thank you all for posting your experiences and thoughts! Really helps — I already have some of the common side effects (hot flashes and some bone/joint pain), but saw no mention of headaches. Makes sense to me, hormonal swings used to occasionally cause headaches when I was younger. But the neon flashing from these ocular ones is very unsettling!
Anyway, grateful for this community…wishing each of you a healthy and peaceful 2024b

Welcome, @risagee. Have you had a chance to tell your team about the migraines and visual disturbances? How are you doing?
