I was put on Anastrozole stright after Radiotherapy, was ok for a few weeks then symptoms started to creep in. Joint pain, insomnia, sickness, fatigue, hot flushes, legs like lead weights. They gave me a month off and I felt so much better. I was then put back on it, and now 6 weeks in and its dire. My hands during the night literally sieze up, i practically swim out of my bed with sweat. I constantly wake up, and then at work I am practically falling asleep. My memory is shocking too. I have put on a bit of weight but not too much. I had a mother of all panic attacks yesterday I got into such a state at work, I ended up going home and stright to bed. I spoke to a MacMillan nurse who said that the symptoms I am experiencing are nothing out of the ordinary and it can take up to two years for everything to settle down. I am hating my life at the moment and so trying to make things better 😞
