Letrazole side effects can anyone relate to these

I’ve had breast cancer 02/2020 had mastectomy and other breast made smaller, I didn’t need chemo so just gave me Letrazole for the 5yrs I was 60 I’d just come to feeling better from menopause. Omg Wham! this tablet is destroying me from the inside that’s the only way I can put it. 
  I feel ill every day, physically worn out, aches and pains in my knees hips and legs,burning toes feet toe nails and itchy soles of my feet. My stomach is all upset if I eat certain things that I used to I get terrible pain, my bladder omg I’ve got UTI every other week y sense of taste and smell have gone and the sweating is horrendous also my back aches 24/7 and everyday I could scream because I’m so fed up with feeling like this is there Anyone one else who feels like this I’ve spoken to my consultant and he said I’m on the best medication but some days I want to stop it but I darent. I also have swollen feet and hands and can’t lose weight. Help!

  • I have Clonidine from the dr for hot flushes I’ve been taking them a while now I don’t know if they work lol but I don’t want to stop them I might be worse without them.

  • Hi there , I’ve been on this drug ( poison I call it) since May , with every side effect listed . I found that the following helps , but please. check with your doctor . I’ve always taken Magnesium (Lamberts) , but have upped the dose to 150mg morning and evening , this really helps with the bone pain . Letrozole leeches Calcium from the the bones so I take Calcium and vit d at lunchtime ( it can’t be taken at the same time as Magnesium) . It is also worth trying a different manufacturer as I could not tolerate the sun ones . I have put a stone on in weight too. I’m on Citalopram for hot flushes . Let me know how you get on
