Hi Peta, glad you are feeling better after your counselling. Not always hard to park everything else and think of ourselves, but do it we must.
My bone density scan also showed osteopaenia in my left hip which was my main concern in taking Arimidex. My surgeon will keep any eye on it every 6 months and I will do what I can re diet, exercise and supplements in the meantime.
I was already taking a high dose compounding vitamin D3 capsule weekly - now I've added 2 calcium + K2, 2 glucosamine and a vitamin C. You should see me try and take these horse pills! I have to hide them in spoons of yoghurt to get them down! At least the yogurt is a bit more calcium. I'm not vegetarian, but have a healthy diet. My husband and I have a vegetarian month 3 or 4 times a year.
I think I'll keep on taking the medication at 8.30am while it's not causing me any issues. Good to read positive feedback that evenings have helped others. I'm back at work in 2.5 weeks so that is going to be a good gauge of how well I am doing.
Hope you continue to do well Peta, look forward to chatting again soon.
take care,
