I have been on Letrozole since April 24th of last year. I am well aware of the potential for some pretty nasty side effects but have been doing my best to offset them: Working out religiously to avoid weight gain, etc.
Hair loss is a side effect and my hair hasn't so much fallen out as vaporized, THINNED out to an extreme. It is also fried -- brittle as can be. I have spent a fortune on shampoos, conditioners, supplements, etc., to little avail.
More disturbingly, I am having terrible hand pain and numbness, especially in the morning and most intensely in my right hand.
Has anyone here experienced these SEs? And if so, can you share some strategies that have worked for you.
Thanks and hugs to all.
