Re: The weakly er+ group

Hi Dianne -

Yes I meant to say four "years'. I edited that post.

It took me about six weeks to get use to the AI. I started on tamoxifen but then switched after the hysterectomy.
I didn't feel the greatest either but it did get better. Once I continued to exercise and I tried to maintain a better diet, I felt much better. I still feel fuzzy sometimes and once in awhile, a little dizzy if I spin around too quickly but other then that, I think my body has adjusted. I am told these are also problems a woman has when going through normal menopause as well so I guess I would have experienced that eventually just unfortunatley sooner then planned! As I mentioned, it did take about six or seven weeks to not feel "icky'.
