Has anyone experienced itching from sweating when having a hot flash while taking Arimidex? And has anyone experienced belly swelling while taking Arimidex?

I haven't had any itching issues. I am puffy...I call my self the stay-puff-marshmallow. The doctor said the puffing will go away when it goes away. Nice, huh?! Oh well, I am here and happy!

I'm still on arimidex but I am also taking 1/2 Benadryl every night.

I was just taken off of Arid for a 2 weeks to see if it is causing some of my problems. I have a itchy rash that is just driving me nuts. Also insomnia, hot flashes, nausea, weakness and fatigue and some swelling in my stomach.

I would like to blame Arimidex on my belly "swelling" but I thinks it is more likely that Im overeating since I quit smoking. I now have 2 spare tires and more than ready for the next flood. I do experience profuse sweating (hot flashes are worse now) but better than dealing with CA. I have not had any issues with itching.
