@Sister - would you like 'cold sensitive teeth' added to the Letrozole side effects? Often people only say 'Yes, that is happening to me' only when they see it on the list - so more than happy to add it. My teeth have been more brittle than anything & I've had a few bust in the last 5 years, having them rebuilt with resin (but I think I have a few years on you!! And it is relatively normal as we age.) I used to be 'cold sensitive' - even sucking in air would set me of (tho that probably indicated a cavity!) - it happens less so now as I use 'Sensitive Gum' toothpaste & have done for the last 20 years!
Thanks @Artferret ... Well done on all the exercise & diet!! I rely mainly on my kayaking & fishing! (My kayak is a pedal one, so I get lots of leg exercise too & a thousand casts for my upper body workout.) Lucky you re the libido thing - still having it post natural menopause! Can you give me your rough age? I started menopause in my early 40s & didn't finish til about 55 - and vaginal atrophy in particular was just a shocker - as well as all the other culprits, hot flushes, depression, stuffed sleep, etc. I tried HRT creams but then had a breast scare with a mammogram (due to the testosterone component), so went off it. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for both you and your hubby. Would you like 'loss of libido' to be added for Letrozole? So far it is only on for Tamoxifen.
My hands, whilst incredibly stiff, sore & aching 24/7 ..... there is no swelling - almost the opposite. At the base of the thumb, the 'muscle pad' is not a pad - it is a hole (in both hands.) :(
