Femara report #SELF-344
Female patient reported the following Femara side effect(s):I felt very tired and a vein in my head kept throbbing because I felt my eyes popping out of dryness or heat or whatever. Then I got very groggy and I just fell asleep. I have dry mouth and dry genitals. In addition to breast cancer I have rheumatoid and degenerative osteoarthritis. My oncologist insists that the symptoms I have may come from my autoimmune disorder. The side effects started when I started taking Femara and they haven\'t stopped since. I get some relief from Biotene products as suggested by friends and from artificial eye lubricants prescribed by my opthalmologist.
