Aromatase Inhibitors for ER- or borderline

[shelli]

Hi everyone! This site is incredible. What a wonderful resource of information and terrific people. I'm a new member and very new at the computer and trying to figure out how to post, etc. First time posting - hope it works!
Iv'e met very few HER+ women and discovering this site makes me feel that
I am certainly not alone anymore. I felt so isolative for the past 2 yrs. going through all of this. I feel like celebrating my new found friendship with this
site. I am wondering if anyone else is on Femara or Arimidex who is also
ER- or borderline like me? My onco. & self thought I should take med. to
improve chances with my path. & decrease risk of recurrence. Am having
bad side effects (joint/muscle stiffness/pain, excessive fatigue, mental fog,
severe hot flashes, already have osteoporosis, etc.) Switched from Arimidex to Femara but no difference. I'm about ready to call it quits, I'm miserable
& it makes it difficult with so many side effects to determine if its solely the
reaction to the med. or possible mets. I recently finished 52 wks. of Herceptin. Just switched onco. & will now have CT's, MRI's, & Pet.
