Letrozole
I have read lots of negative reviews about this medication - would love to hear from anyone who has had a more positive experience. Hoping there are equal numbers out there. Have had the script filled...

I am 54yrs old and went through a BC diagnosis Mastectomy and chemo last year.
I have been on Letrazole for 12 months now.
The one positive is that my hot flushes are not as bad as they been previously.
One month after starting Letrozole l developed Carpal Tunnel in my left wrist ( a side affect of Letrozole l found out) a couple of months ago l started to get severe pain in my wrist, especially at night, l was having trouble sleeping, using my carpal tunnel brace has helped. Diagnosed as Tendinitis, again caused by Letrozole.
Sex has become painful since starting Letrozole. I am tired a lot and have sore joints, especially in my knees at night.
I am very stiff first thing in the morning.
I have put myself through training as a Pilates Instructor this year and have recently qualified.
I hate to think how l would be without my pilates exercises.
I will continue on it for now, hopefully it will not get any worse.
Good luck,
Karen
