breast cance
"I have been on Aromasin (Exemestane) 25 mg for three years.  I tried the other two Inhibitors but had severe bone pain so this one is the best of the bunch.  I do have some joint pain, low stamina, no libido, waking throughout the night, swollen fingers, toes and abdomen, severe hot flashes that feel like I'm being burned at the stake and the worse one is the weight gain.  I've gained 50 pounds in the last two years and still have two years to go. My doctor put me on Clonidin every 6 hours because my skin was allergic to the 24 hour patch.  It helps ease the hot flashes for about 4 hours.  He doesn't have any advice for my inability to lose weight and the fact that I keep gaining even though I exercise and eat the same as before.  Ugghhh!"
