Hi Chrissy! I have been on Femara for 2.5 years. I used to get awful side effects to start with, and for over a year,but I am happy to say that all side effects seem to have finally eased. I did find large doses of fish oil really helped, and now I just take 2 tablets a day. I did have stiff joints and hobbled like an old lady. I also had inflamed tendons in my thumb and wrist area on both hands for 10 months, and also 4 trigger fingers with no grip strength in my hands. All that has gone now,but it is only in the last few months that the final side effects have abated . Good luck, and I do hope with time your side effects will disappear. Love Chris x
