Just thought I would put in a positive update here for those starting Femara - I have been on it for 1 month now, and I actually feel great. I do get mild flushes but I was getting those anyway before I started, because coming off HRT. I lost a couple of kilos without trying since I’ve been on it so it does not seem to be causing weight gain, and so far no sore joints - touch wood. No problems sleeping. Was a little bit of nausea at the beginning but all good now. I’m very relieved so far. Will keep an eye on the bone density, and must remember to keep up the weight bearing exercise for that.
