I tried Femara for 3 months and couldn't handle the side effects.  So stiff I couldn't get up out of a chair without help, etc.  I switched to Aromasin, the newest of the aromatase inhibitors.  Still bad side effects.  My chiropractor suggested having my estrogen blood levels tested, and trying an experiment.  Take Aromasin every other day for a few months,  and see if it lowers my blood estrogen level enough. My blood estrogen level (estradiol) is now a *negative* 20!  No nausea, just some neuropathy, swelling and stiffness, mostly in the morning.  I can handle this.  

I plan on complaining about the side effects for the rest of my long, healthy life!

I could not take femara to much bone pain.  I am taking Arimidex but am currently in remission  am taking it because I was positive for estrogen and braca 1 patient.
good luck on the femara  i know someone who took femara and Lupon shot and controlled her cancer for 2 years.
