Saturday night’s all right for...letrozole

Morning  Slept 5 hours, have a very itchy little finger this morning and the pad definitely looks a little swollen (weird!), my radiated boob is looking less red but still having the odd twinge. x

I’m glad you got 5, the lack of sleep is a killer! I hope the boob calms down, what have you done to your finger?? X

Thought perhaps it was an insect bite but there’s nothing there, the first joint feels stingy inside & hurts if I press it but fingers on my left hand are ok. I was told by a BCN to stop taking my “Menopace” vitamins when I was diagnosed as they also had soy isoflavones. Heard that glucosamine and fish oils for joints is recommended, will give it a try.

If you like fish, try and eat sardines and salmon very good for joints full of omega 3 etc 

Sounds sore, the thing is, I don’t know about you but if I even bang anything slightly it seems to bruise or react much worse than it would’ve done before, the whole body is on high alert, hope it calms down soon x

Yes I have salmon every week, also eat tinned tuna and mackerel

Thanks. I’m determined not to think every niggle is hormone therapy induced, only taken one pill so far! 

That’s the trouble, once you start on any treatment suddenly every ache, pain, itch is linked to it…..when previously you would have shrugged it off without a second thought! x

Too true! Had to start blood pressure pills in June, gave me nausea , hot flushes and up to toilet every night. Pills were changed, same problems but no nausea. Since then GP has tried to get me on statins, my total cholesterol was only .38 above. Then surgery had the cheek to send me a “Happy 65th Birthday” letter and underneath it said...”You are now eligible for the pneumococcal vaccine. I want to write back “Please Leave me alone!”

And so say all of us !
