I've just changed meds from Anastrozole to Exemestane.  I'm wondering if anyone found the Exemestane better. On Anastrozole i was in terrible pain all over my body including hands. I felt very fatigued,  had terrible hot flushes and just felt I had no quality of life. I came off it for almost 8 weeks and after 3 weeks felt so much better, lost 3kg in weight and was less fatigued.  But I now have to take this new drug and im not looking forward to it.

  • I know it can be so draining. I take exemestane. 2 years on I needed to take a break of 7 weeks. It helped greatly. I’m back on it and doing much better. Some fatigue and aches but migraines most days now. I have been told it may help to take it every other day but haven’t had a proper conversation regarding this yet. I also take loratidine every day which I think is really helping but only anecdotal
