I was just going to post when I read Bill's message. I was very concerned about cognitive trouble -- chemobrain. Saw a neurologist , tried Ritalin. Then I went off Femara for one month due to some liver trouble, started sleeping through the night and felt alert and sharp. Back on Femara, I'm not sleeping as well and I don't feel as sharp. So I've concluded a big part of my problem is sleep deprivation. I'm not giving up Femara, so I will have to adjust. THat's my experience only.
