Itchy skin and Femara

Wondering if anyone has experienced itchy skin?  Am currently taking Femara since April, prior to that I was Arimidex but too many side effects.

I have noticed I am having waves through my body of tingling skin or crawling skin,  I am breaking out in really itchy spots, worse on hands and wrists.  Can also feel it at the back of my head and feet, knees,thights, almost everywhere.

Am taking antihistamines the 24hr type, they only last 12 hours.  

Any suggestions would be great, am not seeing Onco until next month, dont know if I can last till then.

    Hi Candy,

    I also have itchy skin with the creepy crawly feeling running through my body.  I have just had surgery so I thought I might have taken something that had set it off. 

    I have also swapped from Arimidex to Femara, and up until now I had not many side effects.  Hope this is a passing phase??

    I am seeing my GP tomorrow to see what she thinks.

    HELP HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME HAPPEN FROM FEMARA?

    I have read it is in the side effects, but only low percentage of people have this happen :(
