Hi like you i was prescriaed the same medication.I AM 42 and had my ovaries surgicaly removed to put me into menopause.
The pain from the Aromison cant be described.A deep bone and joint pain.My feet were like walking on glass the pain is horrendous.I lasted 18 mnths.The oncologist suggesjed a drug holiday for 2 mnths.It was tghe best ive felt in ages.No aching pain.except for my feet.still the same could be permanent.
Now have to try another drugFemera.Ive been on them 4 2 weeks.pain is coming back.Along with hot flushes insomnia and weight gain.
New research now want people my age to take this for 10 yrs now not 5.I dont think i can tolerate living this way.
