Hi , I've been taking Letrozole for 2 years since diagnosis in November 2014 and awaiting a mastectomy in Feb last year. My surgeon did warn me that I would experience symptoms of the menopause. I didn't worry because I had only had mild forgetfulness during my actual menopause. I was not prepared for hot flushes, joint pain, dry skin, hair loss, sleeplessness and loss of appetite, My surgeon recommended expensive thick amd thin shampoo and conditioner on the internet, which didn;t work. It wasonly when a new doctor asked if I knew I had serroboeic dermititis.? No! but immediately the dry skin and itchy scalp were sorted. I put a upside down sink strainer in my shower drain to stop hair from blocking it, I am awaiting a bone density scan results, but calcium tablets amd hay fever Cetrizine tablets daily, help with the joint pain and rashes. The only other tip is to take the Letrozole at bedtime so some of the rubbish side effects take place as you sleep.
