switching, in either direction, works for many
Hi,
There was a poster at SABCS (last year, 2007) that showed that in their study, a good number (if memory serves, something like 40%) of women got relief from AI side effects (again, if memory serves I think it was specific to musculoskeletal pain) by switching. And it did not make a difference what they switched from nor to. Femara to Arimidex brought as much relief as Arimidex to Femara. I can't remember if Aromasin was in the study also.
I've just looked for the poster and cannot find it in a quick look (but was almost sucked in by other interesting posters - I'd forgotten how many!). Maybe it was 2006. But I don't have time right now to look more.
