Letrazole

Plb

Hi

i was wondering what other people's experience of Letrazole had been like

I have been taking this for 6 months after having a lumpectomy in August followed by just 5 sessions of radiotherapy  

the first few weeks I felt heavy and achy but then that definitely seemed to improve but then the last few weeks I have felt like I am dragging my body around

Anyone else experienced this?

    Hi, 

    'Dragging my body around'!! lol that made me smile.....I know that feeling too...

    I started taking Letrozole in September...With Zolodex implants until I have ovaries removed. I'm 49.

    The first couple of months were awful...lots of aches (knees and ankles mostly) plus swollen ankles and face and fingers.  Thankfully all the swelling has gone and the aches are only there mildly...Like alot more bearable.  Just started with eye problems now which might be linked to this pesky tablet.

    I hadn't realised the link to cholesterol...I'll have to look into that.

    Take care x

    I am glad that you have settled down and I wish you all the very best for your future health and happiness

    I used to work for AstraZeneca and know what a great drug Zoladex is

    All best wishes
