Hi Moira,
I must apologize for not getting back to you, it must seem so rude. I must admit, am finding it hard to navigate this site and my messages etc. Anyway, am here now.
I was on Femara before Arimidex.......... obviously I have stuck with the latter as the symptoms have been much less. The doc is treating the stiff and painful fingers with an anti - inflammatory which has been successful but it will only be short term, upon which he will do a trigger release for my thumb, so fingers crossed , hee hee hee.
The depression really got me though, as I had never been a depressive person in the past. The only help was an antidepressant, which has been fun and games ( the side effect of wanting to sleep all of the time). Still sorting it out, but am sure that we will get there in the end. I just keep keeping on as they say - well you have to when you have three kids looking up to you.
Anyway, please accept my apology.
Kindest Regards.......Angela
