crazy idea to "trick" AI joint pain
Hi Amazing Group,
Okay, tell me if this is crazy or what - when I started with Arimidex it took a few months to have the joint pain in my hands advance to intolerable - then I switched to Femara and again it took a few months to have lower body join pain advance to the point where sometimes I can barely walk - so now I want to try Aromasin and see what happens.
So here is my crazy question: would it be ridiculous or medically unsound to just keep switching every two to three months to stay ahead of the joint pain each one causes since they seem to hit different areas?
I see my oncologist this Friday - but I have always found the best information here so then I can take it to her and discuss it.
Let me know what you think - and Thanks!!!!!
Love to you all, Donna
