Hi there Tracey, I was originally prescribed Arimidex but complained to my surgeon about the stiffness of joints etc., so he prescribed Letrozole. I took them for about 4 or 5 days and felt like s##t on them so I just took myself off and went back to my Arimidex and although I have the stiffness still and the occasional cramping in my fingers, I feel so much better on Arimidex. I too take them in the morning because they were interrupting my sleep and with work I had to have proper rest. I have also found that with regular exercise and a good workout at the Gym that the stiffness is starting to dissipate a bit and I'm starting to feel like my old self again. Maybe talk to your Specialist or Oncologists or GP and ask for Arimidex.
Good luck Karenne
