Good morning everybody, I just finished my 6 week hiatus from Arimidex. In my previous post on August 16th, I listed all the side effects I was having from that drug. Here is what I've noticed after 6 weeks away: my joint pain has subsided. Pain in my hands and feet is gone and even my thumb pain is almost gone. I no longer have insomnia, except for the occasional nights, caused by something other than the drug (like being 74!) My fatigue has lessened. I just had a two week bout of leg and knee pain, but that was caused by stenosis. I had an epidural on Tuesday and that helped immensely. Sooo.... Monday I will will return to the Arimidex, mainly because i want protection from a recurrence of cancer and because from what I've read on this amazing, helpful site, all of the AI's have similar side effects and I guess I don't want to have to deal with any new and unpredictable ones. Thank you all for your presence here in these discussions!
