Fibromyalgia and Aromatase Inhibitors
Hey Everyone! I've been on Arimidex for about 14 months now and side effects have been quite debilitating in terms of joint, muscle pain. I came off as recommended for 6 weeks and kept a diary for ...
You've had a tough time of it xx. But don't be afraid of swapping AIs, Meurig ... It was my 3rd one that worked for me (WAY better than the first 2 with less side effects!)
Also, consider raising the possibility of using Medicinal Cannabis Oil (MCO) as treatment for your joint/muscle aches & pains. Ask your Onc about it.
I came from an arthritis background & the AIs made it WAY worse ... I was on MCO for 6 years whilst on AIs. It is a more natural alternative to opioids and more serious pain killers. Just a number of drops under your tongue.
Put 'Cannabis Oil' in the search area, to bring up lots of posts about it.
Take care & all the best xx
Sorry for my repetitive, rather over explanatory dissertation.
I will go through a process of checking each option for an improved lifestyle and actually get back on my horse.
