@rbarber100 Thanks for sharing. I think for me than I made the right decision to stop after 3 weeks. It was making me not feel like I wanted to do much. Stiffness that is still bothering me and I'm a walker and biker and around your age. Getting ready to turn 72 in December. I already have thin hair, not from the medicine, but I did notice I was losing a lot in the shower just starting this, now it has slowed down to almost nothing. For me personally I want to live my life feeling the best I can. Will not try any further meds after reading other comments. You girls are amazing that are willing to stay on it. Good luck to everyone. What a way to spend our later years worrying about breast cancer.

I feel just like you. After 5 months on Anastrozole with stiffness in fingers and shoulder tendons I quit. I’m 71 and want to enjoy each day with as little pain as possible
