I have been back on arimidex a month and some brain fog is there for sure....and the hardest for me is saying a wrong word while thinking or sometimes talking. I know it right away and correct it, but still is disturbing. I call it wrong word retrieval.
I will say when I was off Arimidex for a month by week 4 I had way more energy, much less pain and fatigue, and 50% less cognitive issues.

There are many things that have changed pretty drastically in the last years for me. One of those things has been a cognitive change. Not all drugs are equal in every person. Just like we developed individual cancers, we also have different responses to medications. Ask specifically to try a different one if this one really distresses you. I would also add, to be nice to yourself, you have been through a lot. If I cannot find the right the word, I verbalize that and then shrug and move on or let the other person fill in the blank. A couple of months have gone by, how are you doing now? Do you mind telling me more about your journey with breast cancer, any other treatments?

I was off of it for a month snd noticed overall being was better. The pain which isn’t terrible I may have notice a bit of improvement. Someone said a month isn’t long enough for pain relieve/change. I’m back on it. Will be talking to my oncologist.
