Am not having hot flushes but my memory is shocking and am noticing I get stressed and low easily. I think we are all guinea pigs for this relatively new medication like years ago with HRT.
I found daily walking helped with these issues but walking went west after latest eye surgery and have yet to get back into it.I gather Letrozole is considered the best shot er+ people have to prevent recurrence so would be interested to hear of any steps anyone has found to mitigate these side effects.
At least they might now believe what we are saying about side effects as monkeys have proven it (!) I think that’s what normalising it means they accept now what we say. It took a long time years ago for the medical profession to accept menopause’s hormonal dump caused psychological issues which were NOT part of a woman’s profile before menopause but initiated by it.Physical side effects are easier for the medical profession to deal with .
I have been taking Letrozole for 17 months now and been mostly ok but seem to have hit the wall.To trot out a tired old debate I did change to a cheaper generic brand 3 months ago and have wondered if there is some substance to the pill coatings debate.Am considering switching back.
