Could some of the survivors out there get me through takin Arimidex I am so scared about taking this pill,
Hi again Chris
Could you tell me was your breast cancer 'Hormone Receptor Positve'- like mine. I was wondering whether I might be able to take Femara instead of the Arimidex which causes such joint pain. Femara might not have the same side-effects - but then it all depends on the individual as what might be good for one person, isn't necessarily the case for another.
Re leg cramps, I am on a trial period of stopping Arimidex to see if the joint pain eases (which it has) and yet lately have been having leg cramps in bed myself. Chemist has recommended Blackmores Magnesium Compound - one in the morning and two at night. Started it yesterday.
All the best - Judi Ann xx
