Re: Arimidex vs Aromasin?
Cathy,
I am also taking arimidex and have been for almost a year. I did not experience the joint pain, or back pain you are describing. I noticed in your signature, you have been on it for 5 years. I would not think, it would be an issue if you are off of it for a couple of weeks. Especially, since you have been on it for so long.
Becky,
I noticed your response regarding going off of armidex and you mentioned going off of your supplements. What supplements do you take? I also take supplements and have found they make a big difference in my day to day. I take vitamin D, B12, iron, baby aspirin and idoral (iodine).
