Aromatase inhibitors side effects

I tried letrozole for 4 months and found the side effects intolerable . Have now started exemestane but side effects are the same . I’m trying one every other day now . Has anyone found anything that counteracts the side effects ? My joints are so sore, I ache all over and my skin hurts . Afraid to stop incase the inevitable happens

Yes. Take 1500mg capsules of glucosamine a day. I take an expensive one though u can get one from Boots though I don’t personally think it’s as good. Don’t give up and good luck! Hx

I’m on exemestane as well and have joint and muscle pain, and fatigue. My doctor has me now doing 6 months on and 2 months off. I go back on it tomorrow and dreading it. I wish there were better options.
