Arimidex side effects
Hi Everyone, Ive been on Arimidex since July 2015, and up until the last few weeks have been experiencing cramps in my hands and feet, ankles and wrists. My Achilles' tendons go on strike first thing...
Hi everyone
i started Femara in June 2015 and whilst the first three months was fine it all went downhill after that. With the constant aches and bone pain I felt like an 80 yr old crone. I persevered until May 2016 when my onc said enough. I am now on Arimidex and the improvement in everything is priceless. Mr onc said whilst Femara and Arimidex are basically the same there is a slight difference in the chemicals and for some reason he cannot explain switching from one to another can make a big difference to some women . Whilst I do have a few aches and pains, it is nothing I cannot cope with and perhaps I will last the next 8 years on this medication.
cheers
