Femara/Arimidex
After taking Arimidex for 6 yrs, I suffered quite severe joint pain. I stopped taking it on a trial basis for about 14 weeks and found my joints did improve. My GP referred me to an onologist for a second opinion and he put me on Femara, which I have been taking for four weeks. In that time, I have endured side effects such as sweating, day and night, but of more concern to me, has been difficulty breathing, swelling of feet and ankles, bloated abdomen, etc. I am now beginning to think Arimidex might have been better for me - if the joint pain could be controlled.&nb
