Hi Hazel, I do remember your dilemma very well, Im so happy that you could sift through it and make the best decision for you! I'm currently on a 6 week break from Arimidex for the Oncologist to see if symptoms lessen and at 4 weeks ummm yep no joint pain. I have to see him and he'll talk about a different med uuugh. I was on Tamoxifen 4yrs and had zero side effects but had a recurrence which they were all baffled about but then latest information that came out that it doesnt work in 1/3 of cases, which I asked my Oncologist and he agreed and said most likely happened to me uuugh! So I cant go back on Tamoxifen and so would have to go on something else...which honestly I dont want to, feel Im only swapping one side effect for another uuugh. My Hot Flushes havent changed at all off Arimidex so I know they arent attributed at all to the medication, purely menopause for me. We shall see..the never ending story LOL. Hugs glad youre settled, sounds good! Melinda xo
