Hello Whingy, well that was me 1 month ago. I was put into surgical menopause then onto Arimidex. Was as you described, horrid. Hip pain, shoulder, neck, knees, hands, fingers the lot. 5months between visit to Oncologist, had a whinge, put me onto Femara, same drug but I am 90% better. Still get stiff, but nothing like I was, I am on the same vitamins as you, also glucosamine. Was taking 6 panadol oestos per day, now I only take once or twice a week at night when joints are a bad. Hot flushes were also bad, my GP has given me a script for this and now I take 1/2 tablet a day, now bearable.
Well thats me, sharing the journey.
