Hi Marvin and all Letrozole sufferers! Your post about aching legs struck a chord with me. I have been on Letrozole since January, so 7 months now, and also have 4 weekly Zolodex injections to switch off the ovaries, so the oestrogen depletion is coming at me both ways, when I am bad I suffer with horrendous headaches where I’m convinced I’m going to be sick too, aching calves and ankles, very low mood, and often aching back. I also have the hot flushes but I try to ignore that because at 52 I’d be getting those anyway. However what I HAVE noticed by keeping a diary is that there is a cycle to this ( for me anyway) just like back in the pmt days! I have found that about 4-5 days before my next Zolodex injection I am at my worst. It’s so hard to stay positive on the bad days isn’t it? Like I know if my joints are stiff the best thing is to stretch them.......but when you feel so low getting the enthusiasm for a yoga session is no mean feat 😫 Has anyone else noticed a cycle where you get a few OK weeks? My brand is different this time and I don’t think suits me, it’s Accord. Up to now I’ve been on Sunpharma which on the OK weeks has suited me. Good luck ladies......I’m just going to tuck under my duvet again for a bit xx
