Hi Chris, I have been on Arimidex since August 2010. I was ok to start with but the side effects have increased very gradually. To start with i had mild nausea, quite bad headaches and my joints (hips, hands, shoulders etc) were uncomfortable but OK. 18 months later i still have mild waves of nausea that last a couple of minutes, headaches which as soon as I feel one coming on I kill it with Nurofen and these !#$%^ joint pains. At the moment i am fine but if I stand or walk around for 20 minutes or so the legs start to ache. And get worse and worse! I am 61 years old (62 next month) and I have always ben a keen walker.
I think Femara was the other option recommended by my doctor. I will blog my results when I get them in a couple of days.
I hope your recovery is quick and the side effects die down. If you think your hot flushes are bad, try getting them in a fast food shop in Brisbane over the summer months!
Love, Lynne Xx
