Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

Dear Suzf,

Just opened up your message this morning and wish to encourage you. There are better days ahead I am sure.  There are other drugs which may suit you better and I hope you have a good oncologist to advise you. Sometimes even a three week break from the drug and clear it out of your system (which is something my oncologist said they can do).

However the disease is what it is, how you handle it will determine your quality of life. Something my son said on a card to me has always encouraged me. He said I chose to be positive and I guess I do exactly that, no time to waste, so much to do with a new grandchild on the way, and others to assist. I have been on Arimidex for 2-1/2 years and it makes my joints stiff.

My wish is for you to find peace. For me it comes from my personal faith however if that is not your thing, you must find it in other ways.  Occupy your mind and body with other things beside the illness. I can only say these things because I have been there as well.  For me, a garden is my place of serenity where I can contemplate what has happened, relax and enjoy the beauty which surrounds us all. May peace and good health come your way in the year ahead. Happy New Year 2013.
