Third time the charm?-Femara feedback

tlgio17

Hi ladies,

Well, I tried Arimidex first and had terrible joint/bone pain, so MO switched me to Aromasin for a year. Overall bone pain very slightly better, but hands especially dominant hand has gotten so stiff and now a trigger finger, its interfering with normal things like opening door knob, bottles, and work tasks. Also started getting more aches and pains in lower back, feet and even elbows. So, now I am being switched to Femara. Not sure how I feel, hands are still stiff and I also have had horrible insomnia from these hormonal therapy meds. I am not feeling very positive about being 45 and feeling 85. I have a whole new appreciation for elderly people dealing w bone/joint stiffness/pain on a daily basis. I have tried supplements, calcium, vit D, etc and nothing seems to help enough. So just trying to hope that this last med will be easier. Appreciate any feed back for anyone who has switched from others to this as well. Thanks much!
