I have been on arimidex first, now aromasin since last March, having many side effets with both. Wondering what happens if you can not take these drugs? Arimidex caused such joint pain it was difficult to do my daily tasks and work. Aromasin is causing extensive bruising and joint pain. I have read the femera side effects are about the same. I cannot imagine being on these for five years and feeling so bad. Don't know what to do.
