femera
Hi ladies yesterday I went back to see my oncologist to have a chat about taking Arimidex. I have been on arimidex for about 18 months I'm struggling with the hot flushes, joint pain and being tired a...
I'm on femera and have only occasional hot flushes but not too much more than I did post menopause anyway. I have found that when I take panadol osteo it is much more noticeable and I presume it is the antipyretic effect of paracetamol that does this. I didn't realise this until I didn't need it very often once I'd recovered from chemo.
I initially had joint stiffness in ankles and wrists in tbe morning and after extended rest but it quickly went away with movement. I found just rotating my feet and hands pre getting up in the morning helped. Now 5 months on I get very few symptoms. I've lost quite a bit if weight so this may have assisted this also.
I am have ostepenia anyway so it's something that will be closely watched but I believe will be managed if necessary rather than not taking the medication.
Goodluck. Kath x
