Femara

Hi, I have minimal side effects from Femara. I have been on it now for 3 years in August. I did have bad side effects after about 4 months, but I am happy to say, that the side effects did start to ease after many months. I became very stiff and awkward, and getting up from sitting was hard, and I walked like an old woman for the first 5 or 6 steps. I tried many things, but in the end it was fish oil that helped the most. I took large doses, like 4 to 6 tabs a day, and gradually over the months my side effects eased off. I know it helped, as I had to cease the fish oil for a few weeks due to extra surgery, (it is a blood thinner), and the aches and pains came back. Once the side effects started to ease, I dropped the fish oil down to one a day, and this has kept the side effects at bay. I also take Vit D as the femara can weaken your bones. Hope this makes you feell a little less concerned. Chris
