Been in Letrozole since 2018 and having some pretty awful side effects. Worst ones fatigue joint pain and recurring urinary problems. Urinary probs are the worst tbh. Anyone similar who has any tips for this. Feels like UTI but sample is mostly clear. Was thinking of cranberry and magnesium supplements ?. I already take Vit C and D. At my wits end !!

  • I have taken d-mannose for years and it keeps all thing urinary tract in good condition! D-mannose is the active ingredient in cranberries but the cranberries have sugar in them so you can end up making yourself worse by drinking cranberry juice.

    I used to suffer a lot from those UTIs that were stingy but didn't come to anything (though had a few that I needed antibiotics for too!). D-mannose has completely solved that for me.

    I also take magnesium, but for headaches.

  • Ok this kept happening to me. I’d get tested at the doctors and the sample would show no infection. But! When it was sent to the lab there was an infection. Problem was it was caused by strep b not ecoli which is the norm. When the sample was actually sent away to the lab it showed and it took 3 lots of antibiotics to clear it properly. The dip sticks only find 50% of UTIs so aren’t reliable, insist all samples are sent for a lab screen. Hope that helps x
