It's been my experience to always write down any new symptoms, side effects, or concerns. Just as I was thought to through chemo. That way you can remember when you see your doctor to discuss your issues.

I suspect my left knee pain is from the daily dose of femara. I sometimes lay awake at night again it may be the femara. Reading the medication drug information makes you wonder why anyone would take femara.

Thanks @A MyBCTeam Member! I do also meet with a therapist/ counselor who helps me discover that I have always had these coping skills--I just need to dig deep to find them. And that if what I find doesn't work, to seek out other changes and solutions. Good luck everyone on Femara! Hope you find the solutions that work,,even if it means trying another med.
