Hi Kezza - I know where you're coming from! I have awful bone pain from being on Femara. I find acupuncture really really helps. It won't stop the pain forever but a couple of sessions every 3 or 4 months helps me a lot and I was actually able to sleep through the night. I also have awful hot flushes. I found this wonderful gel pillow insert that works wonders for me. I got it from Lorraine Lea - you can order it online. I put it inside my pillow and the difference it made to my sleep was simply amazing.
As to the other stuff in your post - I went through the same thing during the last couple of months (I'm a year down the track after a mastectomy) and am only now coming up to the light. It is really tough. Sometimes I think about everything I went through and realise that it was really awful but at the time I just focused on day to day. I think that's why it hits you after a while.
Try and stay positive - it can be really hard to do and believe me, I know!! Talking on this board really helps me, especially when I realise that hey, I'm not the only one with these thoughts - so many of us are going through the same experiences.
