Hey Joannie, (love the name, it was my Mums) :)
I've been on an AI 2 years roughly, I definitely didnt have major apprehension in taking it, as in the symptoms are niggly and annoying, but not major that I worried about. I did find joint stiffness and pain on Arimidex so this year they switched me to Aromasin, well its pretty much the same, so I just put up with it. On a bad day panadol osteo does the trick and all my stretching exercises from my Exercise Physiologist helps too. I found no difference morning or night taking it either, was all the same. It takes a few weeks to kick in. I even did a trial off it for 6 weeks and kept a diary as per my Oncologists request. I was better off it, BUT after seeing my Surgeon last week, he said it reduces my risk of recurrence by 40-50% what? ok so I have no problem taking it. I also think too its a combination of chemo side effects and menopause then throw in the AI that cause the symptoms.
I also take Magnesium in water daily, Vit D, C and Caltrate, the magnesium absolutely helps. xx Melinda
