Thanks for your reply.I seriously am considering getting off of the AIs......Have you ever heard of Brevail? You can google and read. it is a High Lignan product put out by Barlean's. It's very interesting. O am going to speak with my onc this Friday. I just can't handle all this joint pain. My quality of life is horrible. I have tried Arimidex and now on Aromasin. I don't feel like switching anymore. They all have side effects. My wrist is also in a aupport sling right now. I feel like it could be trigger thumb or something similar. My muscles all feel like I have run a marathon and I can't get out of bed in the morning. I went from being this vibrant fit person to feeling like I was 99! My 11 year old son is really feeling the brunt of it. I also have tinnitus but that was present before now just getting worse and constant. I have only been on it for a year. I did radiation.....the year long Herceptin and a year of AI. I am just really depressed and want at least half my life back. Read about the Brevail.......I need another opinion coming from someone in the "same boat." thanks!
