Janine, I also just started Arimidex 10 days ago. After all the frightening appointments, biopsies, jabs, x-rays and surgery it was popping that first pill which caused me so much anxiety! I was swept along with no control for everything else on this journey but to a certain extent Arimidex was something I was doing myself. I probably overloaded on information but when it comes down to it, do I really have a choice? Anyway, early days but so far so good. I'm definitely more aware of my body and how it feels. Everyone seems to have some pain but to varying extents.
It's a beautiful day here - my husband and I walked along the beach for an hour. 6 weeks post op I put on a sports bra and for a little while could forget that all this has happened. I look the same, only I can tell my new implant feels tight and numb.
But the sun is shining and I feel 100 times better than I did a month ago!
Good luck with Arimidex Janine, hope you are to effected too much :)
