hello again...thanks for all the comments on sex!! To tired to think about sex lol...not sure what happened to most of my post...is anyone experiencing exhaustion on letrazole? My body including boobs have been aching for about 6weeks I’m always tired, I’ve tried more sleep less sleep.  Feel like I’ve been hit by a truck! Anyone else experiencing this? I’ve made an appointment to see my GP next week. Thank you Nellie xx

    Hi @Hendrix  - I was on letrazole for about 6 weeks & had lots of aches & pains too - and it was impacting my day to day life (and night time sleep - or rather lack of) ......

    I discussed it with my Onc & she suggested I try Exemestane - and I've found it much better for my personal circumstances.   I've been on it for over 6 weeks now & am coping MUCH better.

    Chat with your Onc & see if a different tablet may work better for you.    ;)

    @arpie thanks...I sleep ok it’s only when I get out of bed and first half of the day I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck and by the time it’s bed time I’m ready for sleep....I’m ready to go back to bed half an hour after I get out of bed lol

    Yes @Hendrix, I feel exhausted most of the time. I don't know whether it's my broken sleep or the Letrozole or the chemo hangover. Time will tell. But I am familiar with that feeling of wanting to go back to bed half an hour after getting up. K xox

    @Hendrix ,well I was happily thinking I haven't had any side  effects from the Letrozole  , but after finishing work a week ago ,I find I am really tired too ! I don't just snooze on the couch but fall asleep . I have a lot going on at the moment so hoping its that ! Time will tell . I am  actually sleeping ok at night (probably shouldn't have said that ! you know what will  happen tonight ) Good luck Nellie :)

    It's bloody 20 past 8 and I cannot stay upright on the sofa and my eyelids need matchsticks to stay open. And I'm a night owl. I'll eat some rabbit food and crawl off to bed...

    I sat down to watch a movie with the family at around 7:30 last night.  I woke up about 8:30!  Sort of.
