I've been on Arimidex since June 2006. I have pain in my hands, fingers and arms. I think it is arimidex pain, because it comes and goes.
Give yourself a year to recover from chemo. I've just started feeling normal. Ended chemo June 2006 and Herceptin Nov. 2006. Zombie is a good way to describe how I felt sometimes. I wanted to feel better fast, too. Finally accepted that my body needed time to heal. Be very kind to yourself.
