t burgessaromasin side effectsMay 12th, 2008Rating: 2.0000
I have had trouble with swelling in my hands and feet since I began using Aromasin in June of this year. I have also felt like an old lady (I'm only 48) with stiffness and achiness in my joints. I don't sleep well at night anymore and have been dealing with depression. I wish there was another alternative other than Aromasin. I have already been on tamoxifen for 21/2 years and am considering risking not taking anything more for the remaining 2 years.

I understand what you are talking about. I have had b cancer 3 times 1998, 2000, & 2005. I have taking all of the drugs. My Doctor took me off Fermara because of bone pain and put me on Aromasin. After 3 weeks the swelling started it has been very bad. My throat, hand, arms, legs, eyes. I feel like crap. Also the depression etc. I quit taking it a week ago and I am feeling better. When I see my dr. I will tell him that I am tired of feeling like an old women. I will not be taking any more drugs. I will leave it up to God. I have always been active and now I do not want to get out of bed. If you know of anymore women out there that feel the same please let me know. I have also started haveing high blood pressure which does not run in my family. I have all the side effects. Cancer drs just treat cancer not the problems the drugs cause.
Need answers from other women.
May God Bless you during this difficult time.

Hi Ladies,
I'm feeling the same way. On top of feeling tired and feeling depressed and I'm experiencing severe joint pain in my wrist and thumbs and having to take anitinflammatories. I took tamoxifen for 3 1/2 years and switched to Aromasin and have been taking it for 1 year now. I am considering not taking it anymore.
Please, I'd like to hear your comments.
God Bless!
