Hi Deanne
I hope that you are doing well.
I have been on femara since October last year. The first month or two I felt like I had been hit by a bus. It was terrible. I could not walk out the front door and down the street with my dog. I have begun Denosumab for strengthening my bones. This has worked wonders for me on the pain.
I also go swimming every day - although I had to stop for four weeks as I had two procedures for a melanoma on my back. All good now.
Just take it easy - try not to do too much at first. Maybe some swimming and yoga - you will work it out. It does make you tired also but I am very lucky that I can nap whenever I feel like it. I am on extended sick leave at the moment.
The other side effect for me is the thinning of my hair. Its fine though just less haircuts for me.
Take care and best of wishes to you
Sandra
