#151 - Don't Like Med Issues

Wacky Stomach

I hate taking anything for anything.  But I'm supposed to be on Letrozole for 5 years.  This hormone blocking drug will lower my chances of cancer recurrence, so I guess I should.

But on January 2, (20 days after starting the medication) my stomach started getting wacky.  Sheesh! 5 years of this?  

Well, I took a 2 week break from Letrozole and my stomach is still a little crazy.  So we can rule that out.

What Else?  I have done lab work, so I can rule out all sorts of things.  But maybe I've got some lingering issues from chemo or radiation.  Or maybe I've suddenly become lactose intolerant. No! Don't take my cheese! Or maybe it's the Biotin I've been taking for hair growth for months!  Pretty darn sure that's not it.

The Positive

I always end on a positive note, so I will mention that my Biotin vitamins are really working!  Actually, I have no idea if it's helping hair or lashes. They were going to come back anyway.  But for the first time ever, I have fingernails that go snappity snap on my keyboard.  This is fun. I feel so grown up with my lady nails!
