I had a hard time on Femara and quit taking it. BS put me on Arimidex..much more tolerable as long as I stay active. I notice if I don't go to the gym and ride the bike or jog the treadmill, I get achy.

It's much better now. No achy feelings and I sleep pretty darn good. Sometimes in the afternoon I get a little tired, but I figure it's because my body is tired and I need to rest. I see my BS every 6 mos. and my Onco PA every 4 and panels are done. Feel good, lost the medical weight gain and each morning is a new day.

I had issues with Femara and I just quit taking it. Done! My BS was not happy, but hey, it's my choice if I'm feeling that bad and I have to work for a living. So we'll see how the Arimidex works. If it's bad, we'll switch to something else.

I took Arimidex for 5 years with no side effects

Caroline, haha! That about sums it up. I was on Tamoxifen, now Femara, That describes how I feel to a tee!!
