    I am on femara and had nasty joint aches. My breast nurse told me about a small study from Tokyo in which women took pomi-t - a supplement tested for men originally. It certainly helped me, I walk more comfortably my hands are better. I checked with my oncologist, she said because it was tested in a large study it is safe. She can't prescribe it though because its classed as a food. Apparently it's quite well known - does anyone else have any experience with it - or any other tips (most welcome)
