Trixie, I'm sorry to hear about all of these issues you've had to deal with. Please do let us know how you respond to your next bout with an AI. It's all so confusing. I'm 74 and it's difficult to discern what is being caused by age or the AI. All I know is I never felt this fatique and weakness before I began taking Arimidex. Of course, I won't stop taking the meds because I don't want a recurrence of cancer.

After a year on Arimidex, My only complaints are unusual fatigue and brain fog. More than anything the brain fog is most disturbing. Remembering common words and familiar names is sometimes a challenge. I am 76 but until I started Arimedex, I had no problem. I don’t want to dismiss it as early dementia but I’m curious to hear if others have experienced this problem.

Sparkle, thanks for your response. Isn't it a tough one?! One would think with all the smart people that they could come up with something a bit easier on the body! I'm 67, just retired when I found the lump last year, but that's been the story of my life, so my motto is just keep one step in front of the other. Hoping for the best for all of us.
