@ginip Pray that bring off AI for 3 months help. Wonder how the doctor decide on length of time to stay off. Everyone is different. There is not a One Size Fits All. My doctor said a few weeks, which did not make a difference. I pray it works for you … but then what? Go back on and have the side effect issue again. I hope not. Time will tell. I had terrible hip pain and issues, where I could not hardly walk or get in and out of car. I’ve been off Anastrozole for a year. It took me 5-6 months before I was back to normal. Hugs & blessings
