Arimidex

Hi Maria, I just blogged on another site about the benefits of fish oil when taking femara or arimidex. I had no side effects for the first few months, and then like everyone else copped them. I then started the fish oil, and did get some relief, but didn't realise how good the fish oil was, till I needed to go off it for a month due to more surgery. Then my joints,especially knees and ankles and hips were so bad that every movement created a groan from me. I have just added Lyprinol from Blackmore's as well, and feel this is also lessening my side effects, though it is still early days with this new drug. It is from the NZ green lipped mussel. I am still getting the trigger fingers, and it is much worse on my right hand. In the mornings I can't close my fingers due to tightness and pain, but this improves once I'm up and about. Opening the bathroom door is hard as it is a knob and my finger don't want to bend very early. My oncologist assures me that this is only joint pain, and that my joints are not being damaged, like what would happen with arthritis. I hope he is right, as it feels like the joints are being damaged. He says that 99.9% of us will lose all this pain once we go off these drugs. I will look forward to that time, some 5 to 9 years away. Love Chris xx
