Re: Femara - Sharing your Experience
Hi Krisvell,
I started Femara about 2 weeks ago. I have fibromyalgia and so for me, aches, pains, joint stiffness etc. is nothing new. I have not noticed any real new or increased pain, and I take Aleve, aspirin, Advil or Tylenol to alleviate it ( I find that taking different types of painkillers is good - for me).
I have noticed that I am more tired, so I take the pill at night to use this to my advantage, as I do not sleep well, and I have been sleeping longer stretches - for me, anything over 6 hours is good. In fact I have been taking a sleeping pill nightly for years, I am hoping to wean off it if the Femara continues to cause fatigue.
all the best
caya
