Hi lovely ladies, I've been on Femara for 12 months. I was on Tamoxifen for a few months & then decided that l wanted my ovaries out so had to change for that reason. I too have really bad joints with Femara which frankly I'm over! I stuck it through because l had read that it subsides around the 18 mth mark but l can't wait to "see" if it does. I saw my onc on Wednesday & told her l'm over it! So we're trying Aromasin which is a sister drug. I told her l didn't want to compromise my health though and she said I wouldn't! I'll keep you in the loop! I must say that l did have other side effects at the start but they have subsided significantly! I now sleep better, especially after light gym exercise, and the hot flushes are much milder. I didn't give in too easily though. Tried fish oils, krill oil, Panadol osteo as a last resort but with no help so there's only so much one can take. I want a better quality of life which we all deserve after such a hard time. Best wishes to you all. Niki
