Early days but I started taking Letrozole just over 2 weeks ago straight after radiotherapy.
On 2.5mg
Cipla
Taking around 9.30pm and mild to moderate flushes overnight.
Mood is good but I’m putting a lot of effort into eating for strength, keeping active, getting outdoors as much as possible.
Moderate hot flushes mainly in the morning after drinking coffee (think I can cut back from 2 to 1 but enjoy it too much to go without). Sticking to whole foods might be helping.
Feel like a vehicle with no suspension overnight after starting it. I have started with a trainer at the gym though to build strength for protection of everything musculoskeletal. Wearing my running shoes feels a bit softer on the joints if I’m out walking
Found out I’ve been woefully short on protein but have lost a kilo quite easily since tracking macros.
Ferritin levels are very low normal. Wondering if this is because of the radiotherapy or poor protein intake maybe. Decided to take Ferrous Fumerate and hoping if I keep macros in balance flushes will improve.
I have a print out of my bloods which I’m told is otherwise normal although to me the cholesterol levels look high. I don’t understand it so I’m asking AI. Bit worried as I’ve only just started on Letrozole.
