Thanks for bringing up the topic. I am four and a half
years on Arimidex and I just got a horrible report
on my bones almost everywhere, especially lower
back L5, knees, ankles, neck, etc. I do feel stiff but
this is terrible. I had hoped to keep taking it as I am
just terrified to give up my last med. Oh well, we did
all we could. I already take supplements for bones
so I guess the big decision will be soon. I hope you
feel better in a few months, keep us posted.
