Arimidex hair loss
Hi there, so I have been on Arimidex for one week and already noticed some hair loss with more than normal hair on my hair brush. Will this continue? I'd like to know other people's experience and how much more hair loss I might expect.99ViewsSign in to react to this post3CommentsSwitching to Arimidex

Severe rash 6 weeks after starting Arimidex
Has anyone experienced Severe Rash needing Steroids to begin the process of reducing the severity. If starts on weekend no oncologist or own Dr. available rely on local emergency dept. Wondered if anyone recently has experienced rare and adverse aromatise inhibitor related event and what they switched to with no followup rashes. Anyone? Thanks129ViewsSign in to react to this post4Comments

Re: Bone strengthening injections
Dear ladies, I would like to hear from you your experiences and suggestions regarding Ploria injection vs Zometa for bone strengthening? My oncologist has advised me to choice myself between one of them. As I am on Arimidex and close to get osteoporosis.197ViewsSign in to react to this post8CommentsAches and pains...
One year into Arimidex and keen to know what others do to relieve the joint aches and pains. Hot flashes have reduced to occasional events (short trips to the tropics 😉) but there's been no let up on the aches and pains. Nevertheless, loving every day!!177ViewsSign in to react to this post2Comments
Arimidex
Good morning i am coming to the end of my 5 years on arimidex. I have a question for those of you who have completed their course of arimidex. Does the side effects go away once you stop taking it. I need some assurance that the hot flushes/night sweats disappear and the weight gain stops. Thanks Bev191ViewsSign in to react to this post4Comments
Vertigo on Arimidex or other AIs? Who's suddenly 'got it'?
Has anyone on AIs experienced Vertigo? I'd always thought it a minor complaint ..... but yesterday it hit me big-time & I felt HORRIBLE! I've been on AIs for 2.5 years (letrozole 6 weeks, Exemestane 6 months, Anastrozole 2 years) & recently had a couple of episodes at night when getting up to go to the loo .... feeling dizzy & wobbly on my legs - but it passed. Yesterday morning, it started in earnest even before I got out of bed. Dizzy, Nauseous, disoriented & 'crabbing sideways' instead of walking straight ahead ... and just feeling 'really off'! The Dr has given me Stemetil for the nausea. There is a manoeuvre called the Epley Manoeuvre - has anyone tried it, to realign the crystals in the ear? It can make you may be quite nauseous (and even vomit) so have a tub handy ... Here’s a good one for explaining why we get it …… a bit technical but the culprits, (the ‘crystals’) are mentioned about the 4min 50sec mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx4mQB0QzvQ My sister sent me this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbPbM8018CE Or you can have a go at doing it 'to yourself' ..... but should have your first procedure with a professional, so you know what to expect. https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/6063852/Documents/vertigo-remedy-english.pdf Or this one to show how the moving the head moves the crystal https://youtu.be/9SLm76jQg3g?t=130488ViewsSign in to react to this post8Comments

Anyone still on Arimidex after 8 years? Oncologist says for me to decide whether to continue to 10 years as research is insufficient119ViewsSign in to react to this post4Comments
