This is an excellent survey and will be good for all of us. At any rate I’m in the US and we don’t use generics here. So I’ve been on just straight letrozole for two months along with the ovarian suppression drug of lupron. I am 48 years old and side effects are minimal if not completely unnoticeable. I have some mild muscle soreness and stiffness but nothing that stops me even remotely. No hot flashes although I do get more overheated easier. I take it at night right after I eat my dinner and take it with a good amount of water. At least half a glass.
There are some things I am doing to help my bone mass and keep me limber but I’ve only just started them so I don’t feel comfortable suggesting anything to anyone yet. In a couple of months though I’ll post what I’m doing if I feel like it makes a difference. I think we could all use the help to make sure we can live our lives comfortably and happily after our diagnosis.
