I have been on anastrozole which is generic for Aridimex for a year and a half. I have aches and joint pain every where. I have trick fingers and fingers that lock. I have insomnia. I have gotten deep wrinkles overnight. I have no moisture in any parts of my body including my lady parts. I’m 60 and feel like 90. I hate feeling like this!

Have you asked your oncologist to switch you to another Pill?

I rub some extra-strength blue emu cream on my hands before bedtime and try to bend my fingers a little. If I keep them straight, then it's difficult to start moving them. The gynecologist suggested using olive oil or coconut oil in my "lady parts" area and this helps somewhat to keep a little moisture there. This stuff is brutal! I find the headaches are one of my worst complaints over all the other stuff as well as my vision is a bit blurry.
