Thanks for your reply. I can so relate. I'm 64 now. Husband is ok but sometimes loses patience...."Oh, go back. I forgot my list"! I will see how it goes as I don't know how much of my depression/brain fog is cancer fear and/or Covid fear! Life did hand us a curveball this past year! I'm due for the Covid vaccine soon so hopefully that will give me a little mental break. Other than the brain fog, worse at some times than others, and tight finger joints upon waking, I don't have many other side effects, at least not that I know of now, thank God. I'm just worried since I have some genetic links to dementia that AI's may exacerbate it and memory won't come back fully after discontinuing. It would be interesting to know if anyone did the 5-year course of AI with brain fog/memory issues and how they fared after discontinuing, i.e., did the brain fog lift or were they permanently impaired. Thank you all for sharing your insight and experience.

You raise some interesting questions which I don't believe have been addressed in this forum to my knowledge. For those who completed 5-10 years of an AI, did they experience withdrawal symptoms? If so, what were they and for how long? And, did the symptoms of arthralgia experienced while on an AI go away following withdrawal after 5-10 years?
