Please read my previous posts! and try Lamberts MAGNESIUM! Letrozole is amazing but the side effects for me was unbearable joint pain. Magnesium is a muscle relaxant and a brilliant supplement!!! Google "drAxe magnnesium" and download "Vitamin k and the calcium paradox" on amazon. As I have explained in previous posts some supplements must not be taken together e.g. calcium and Magnesium as they compete for absorption so take at least 2hrs apart. Magnesium was a miracle for me!!! (I take calcium D3, b12, cod liver oil, vitC, K2 and magnesium, a good combination) My GP gives me magnesium on prescription after I educated him on supplements, GPs are taught very little about supplements in their training, when I mentioned it to my oncologist she agreed magnesium was very good..then why didn't she tell me! I had to educate myself! You have nothing to lose by trying this. Good luck! ... View more

Hi, it is so annoying GPs and my oncologist never mentioned how important it is to take supplements while on Letrizole. I had to do my own research! I have been on Letrozole for 6yrs now with NO problems since i started taking calcium D3, K2 and Magnesium. (I had severe side effects in the 1st year and now free from pain!) Please google DR AXE on these amazing supplements especially Magnesium and remember to leave 2hrs between taking them. Good luck! ... View more
