Emotions and Femara
First time I've posted on a forum, forgive if I've goofed up. Have had the mastectomy, done the chemo and radio, now on femara, 4 months in. Initial horrid joint pain and other odd things have settle...

Hi Now curly - I realised that I had put up a discussion within this post but not to you that started the post.
I do hope that you are settling into taking Femara. The side effects or odd things as you referred to them are just that, odd and difficult to comprehend. It may not necessarily be Femara but a combination of where you are at now!
It takes awhile for the emotional side to line up with the physical and when we are fatigued the physical dominates our thoughts and drives us nutty (or should I say drives me nutty).
All the things you mention like tears for no reason, incredible sadness, a dislike and upset about family members. Don't get too perturbed by that as some of us experience similar emotions at different times. Family and or friends are just not on our wave length. They think you've had treatment so you should be right when there is a lot more to it than this appointment and that appointment........ We are, we understand! Please come on here and rant and we won't judge!
