Hi All. I haven't been on this site for about 4 yrs so have lost track of the lovely Ladies that I was corresponding with at that time. I do hope that means that they are living a busy and healthy life. I have been on Arimidex for 5 years and have 5 days worth of tablets left (but who's counting). I guess I have been relatively lucky and although I have suffered joint pain (particularly knees and fingers) I have been determined to finish the course. I play golf and some days holding the clubs is painful but being out there is worth the pain. I also put on about 5 kg but have pulled that back to 2-3 depending on the day. Not sure how much of all that is age related or medication. (I am 59yo) for me the worst part of the medication is by far the hot flushes! They drive me insane and constantly wake me throughout the night. anyway I am hoping that once this medication gets out of my system I will have an improvement in that area and if the joint pains also improve then I will be over the moon. BTW I take krill each day and find this makes a big difference, keep on supporting each other Ladies it really does make a difference. Xx
