Switching from letrozole to anastrozole

Has anyone out there made the switch from letrozole to anastrozole because of bad side effects on the former? I had hot flushes, horrendous night sweats and worst of all painful joints. My hands were the worst affected which meant I was struggling to do simple things like take the top off the milk and also not able to do my favourite hobby of crocheting. I only made the switch tonight but have read that changing the meds can cause more problems. Any advice/experiences would be very welcome. Thank you. Mog

  • Hi Jolamine. Sent you a really, really long post via the friends link 3 days ago and it seemed to send OK. You usually reply quite quickly so now I'm not sure if you got it or not. I really can't write it all out again so I hope you will see it. If not I know you will get this. Having an awful time at the moment. Feeling quite desperate and misunderstood. The world is such a cruel place sometimes. I'll leave it at that as I need to know if the other message got through. If it didn't then what is going wrong and how do we fix it? Hoping you're OK, hugs, Mog, xx
