Arimidex

Magicmum, hi, I was taking Krill oil and found it was fantastic, BUT, when I started feeling really ill, I rememberd I was allergic to crustaceans and had to give it up.  The doctor that I am now seeing here in Cairns suggestd that I change to the glocosamine because it is fish free.  it has taken a few weeks but I think it is helping. My fingers and hands just dont have the strength in them and I feel very clumsy.  Have had quite a few falls, but hubby and I have a laugh and put it down to being lopsoded now that I only have 1breast.  Have to joke about it.

My toes and ankles are often sore, and when I feel like I have hit a brick wall, now days I have given in and have an afternoon nap.  I have been putting all my symptons down to my 65 years, but I know that is still young. A lot of my problems I blame on the stress of dealing with 3 sons and their wives not getting on with each other.  Now we have been through the sale of a home and a big move from the NT to Qld, renting a house while we are waiting for our new home to be build.  Then I knw life will get better.

Magicmum, we will get there - I hope you get some help from the glucosamine.

Hi Vicki.

I have have allergy tests and Ithey did show up quite a few allergies and also saw an allergy Specialist who said that my symptoms were idiopathic.  I developed chronic urticuria twenty-two years ago after suffering epstein barr vius and ross River virus and every time my immunity is down I break down in hives which used to be every day but thankfully this time I had a break of a few Months so hopefully they will get out of my system because being on such high doses of cortisone does nothing for my weight as well as taking the Arimidex.

You know what, I would suggest it would be worth it to have an allergy test done.  Not sure how much it costs by the do a whole range of pricks on the skin and test for numerous allergies, but you could request one that covers crustaceans and that way you would have an idea as to whether you could take the above.

Thanks so much for the warning, Vicki.  I have chronic urticuria and suffering with it badly at present so I have to be very careful what I take.  At the moment I am on 75mgs. of prednisone and 2 anti-histamines.  I do not like prednisone one little bit, but when you get a reaction as bad as I get it's the only thing that works.  It doesn't help having a weak immune system.  onsidering taking krill oil but I don't want to take the chance.

I have read with interest the comments regarding fish oil and green lipped muscle.  I started to take the GLM for aching joints, (which I might like to point out i did not know at that time was caused by the Arimadex) and found myself feeling really ill after the second bottle, so i changed to Krill Oil 1000, this sent my blood pressure through the roof, and then I remembered that I was alergic to crustaceans and both of these product are just that, so I stopped taking the Krill and watched my BP gradually get back to normal.  The GP agreed with me that people should be made aware of alergic reactions.  I have now seen a warning on Krill, so I guess if you are not allergic then no fear.  I might add I do eat prawns and love crayfish, but yes if I have a couple of prawns I soon remember how silly I am.
