Remedies for Joint Discomfort/Pain on AI ( Anastrozole)

I have to confess that if I was given appropriate info at the onset at the start, I am not sure that I would have refused Anastrozole or Letrozole. I opted for Anastrozole and found myself now dealing with side effects that left me HAVING to consider the impact on my day-to-day life. I am self-forgiving enough to realize you can’t get answers when you don’t know the question.

So here I am hoping my body will carry on without Anestrozole - that my diligence through all these years of mamos will continue to be my safety net along with whatever new options become a viable life saving option. I am grateful for all those out there who are working on the future chapters that will offer us any consideration.

My general request is that success be a journey not an event that the Medical profession embraces. We soldiers in the trenches need you to contemplate what you are hearing from us and have the wisdom and professional courage to deal with what you are hearing from us. You are dealing with our bodies. We are living with our bodies.

I think it might be true that the brain fog has left my list of side effects and my confidence has become a welcomed return. This forum has given us all a place to reset and value our hopes and concerns. ❤️

Interesting. Wonder what the mechanism is there? Thank you. Dosage?

So, it might be 5 years before this can be given to most people, including those who already have had breast cancer. Article said that it would work on most breast cancers.

I’m going for an mri because I need to make sure that’s it’s not something worse than a reaction to Anastrozole. I was on fone with Breast cancer care in York and nurse git back to me, after she had consultation with her colleagues , that my meds will b changed after we get results of mri. In the meantime she said that f I wanted to stop Anastrozole, I could. I’m going to stop. 🤷‍♀️

You are following the right road to a good decision for you. It is what I did and while enduring the withdrawals of this med, I am recollecting how I felt before took it and anticipating the best at a very important level - my quality of life! I make myself remember the value of that consideration.

Please stay in touch and know I am happy to share my experiences as you go along.

Ever onward!

Good morning. I am now past my 5 years of cancer drugs. When I first started them, my doctor prescribed Anastrozole. I finally had to change to a different drug because i was having such pain from that one. After trying a couple of other ones, I finally was prescribed Tamoxifen. I was able to tolerate that one and stayed on it for the remainder of my 5 years. It does have side effects, but they are so much more tolerable than the other drugs. Wishing you the best of luck and comfort.
