@cathrine - you are not alone with the pain from the AI tablets - it creeps up on you & can be debilitating .....
Due to the aches & pains - I am onow onto my 3rd lot of AIs (started with Letrozole for 6 weeks, then 6 months Exemestane & now had 6 months Arimidex!)
Yes, sometimes family & friends can be a bit 'clingy' - but it is also nice to have some support - so feel free to put up any questions you have, or vent here - we've all been thru it and know exactly what you are going thru. Because we 'look OK' - everyone assumes we ARE OK!
It can be tricky letting family & friends know that you really aren't coping too well just now - were you assigned a Breast Care Nurse with your treatment? They may be able to put you onto a social worker and/or psychologist who may be able to talk you thru some coping strategies?
Take care xx
