Re: Anyone taking Femara for Endometriosis?

Becky,

I started taking Femara just a week ago and was wondering if you have had any side effects. I am having horrible muscle aches and headaches. Femara is pretty much my last chance to may be rid myself of the endo. I have had a complete hysterectomy and 7 other surgeries since and it still keeps coming back. Please let me know how the Femara makes you feel. Thanks,
