Will follow your new Fish Oil with interest, @sister (maybe using a straw to suck it to the back of your throat .... it worked with my recent pico prep experience!) ...Sadly krill and FO (hmm, have another saying for that! LOL) capsules do nothing for me. Yes, the side effects is the HUGE elephant in the room ... and I’ve read of quite high level dropouts in the early months of treatment, some not even reaching 12 months. Here’s an interesting read - relative to patient’s ‘expectations’ of the expected side effects.

@MichelleGS ... I was on Letrozole from mid last year and only lasted 6 weeks, the aches and pains were so great. I already had arthritis pain, so it more than doubled it, particularly in my hips, hands and feet. Then I was on Exemestane for 6 months and now on Arimidex which has been the best so far - tho recently my feet have been killing me. On all the meds, I was taking pain killers and anti inflams during the day and temase for night
I also had a go with Prednisolone in Feb, as my fingers weren’t working and I needed them for a major ukulele performance, And as @sister said ... the change was just brilliant, but sadly not sustainable long term.
I have been using some ‘special oil’ for some months now and have not been needing the meds other than the occasional temase maybe once a fortnight (2/3 times a week before.) It is only my feet playing up just now.
All the best for your ongoing treatment xx
