I started Arimidex in Dec. of 2007. The stiffness and joint pain started soon after . After 6 months of chemo and 6 1/2 weeks of radiation I assumed I was still having problems with chemo brain but it seems to be lasting much longer than I had expected..I finished chemo July of 2007 I am in a fog most of the time and can't remember dates or even conversations from the day before. I'm 57 and am tired of everyone telling me that everyone over 50 deals with the same thing. No! I guess you have to live it to understand. It is not that simple and is very frustrating and embarrasing. I am still on arimidex but am considering talking to my Dr. Last visit I was told I may need to be on Arimidex for 10 years Maybe I should try one of the others. I have always worked out, eaten healthy, never smoked or drank. I never had joint pain or the foggy brain. I made it through the treatments and managed to keep a positive attitude , I did very well, but.......I thought I would be in a better place by now. I'm so glad I have found this group, now I know I'm not alone. Good luck to you all!
