| 4 | Breast Cancer IIB with recurrance | headaches, back pain, neck pain, dry mouth and eyes | I will continue this medication, I had B/C IIA and had lumpectomy and chemo, no radiation, no medication. 1 year later B/C came back in scar and lymph nodes. I will take this med as long as I need to. I will take a 2 day break once in awhile if symptoms get too bad, then i'm right back on it. | F | 54 | 17 months 1mg 1X day | 4/18/2016 | 1 | BC | Bone aches, extreme fatigue, insomnia, tooth loss. Everything is dried out: eyes, skin, vaginal, mouth. | F | 56 | 5 years 1mg | 4/16/2016 | 1 | Breast Cancer Stage 1 Grade 1 | Insomnia,weight gain,severe back,hip and spine pain. Wrist and fingers have no strength. Mentally foggy,depressed,felt like I was 90 years old. Severe joint and bone pain. | I stopped taking this 1 month ago. The pain was so bad that it was effecting my life. I feel 80% better since I stopped this pill. I still have pain in my back, hands, wrist and legs. I'm hoping that it will all go away with time. | F | 57 | 10 months 1 mg 1X day | 4/16/2016 | 1 | Breast Cancer - Stage 1B | I felt nauseous and had loose stools, gained 5 pounds, developed sores on my skin and upper lip, my breast area where surgery was performed became sore; elevated blood pressure, mental acuity lessened and had trouble concentrating | I believe this drug is very toxic and educate yourself on the side effects because the physicians downplay the adverse effects on your body. | F | 67 | 14 days 1 mg 1X day | 4/13/2016 | 2 | BRCA | Severe hand, finger pain. Pain in feet, especially heels. Pain in knees. Can't sleep Osteopenia. . | I am beginning to think the cure is worse than the disease. Dread lying down at night. | F | 65 | 1.5 years 30mg 1X day | 4/12/2016 | 4 | breast cancer stg3 | Bad joint pain, weight gain | Started this at the end of 2012 after cancer in the breast and lymph nodes. I do have joint pain and cant lose weight at all. My feet and ankles are really bad at times so i dont even want to stand but noone else is going to bring the money home so i have to get up and get on with it. I've been on these for 3.5 years so far and the docs would like me to stay on them for another 5 years after this 5. I will do because the younger you are the longer you've got for the disease to come back. If they keep it away I'm all up for that. Better than dying from cancer. | F | 49 | 3 years | 4/10/2016 | 1 | Breast cancer | Significant bone loss, pain in legs and hips | F | 67 | 2 years 1 mg | 4/2/2016 | 1 | My teeth are heart looks like they will all fall | F | 55 | 10 days | 3/29/2016 | 2 | Breast cancer | Severe joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, hair thining, depression, weight loss, insomnia | I had a three week break to see if the effects I was experiencing was due to this medication. By the end of the second week I started to feel like me again and was in less pain. I restarted the drug and two days later was in agonising pain. I've now given up taking it. I'd rather have a happy short life than a long miserable one. | F | 48 | 5 months 1mg 1X day | 3/14/2016 | 3 | increase natural test levels | Got really bad hand shakes! They only started today!!

I was temporarily without health insurance (in a waiting period), and was not financially able to consult an oncologist, so after hours of research and much soul searching, I made the very difficult decision to discontinue the Arimidex. When I was able to consult with my new oncologist, she determined that had I continued taking it, it would have reduced the possibility of cancer recurring by only 5%! It has been 2 years since I d/c'd Arimidex, and the side effects I experienced HAVE NOT ABATED AT ALL! | F | 56 | 5 months 1 mg 1X day | 1/31/2016 | 1 | Breast cancer | Terrible bone pain and at the end of taking this for 5 years, I developed uterine cancer. The verdict is still out as to whether it was caused by arimidex. | Would strongly recommend an annual ultrasound on uterus while taking this drug | F | 56 | 5 years | 1/26/2016 | 2 | Stage 3 breast cancer | Hearing loss and tinnitus | My oncologist says it is not the Arimidex that is causing my herring loss but one of the other chemo drugs. However the timing doesn't work out to support that. I developed severe hearing loss after taking Arimidex, not after the chemo drugs. | F | 63 | 18 months 1X day | 1/12/2016 | 1 | Breast Cancer | All over body aches, could barely get through the day | F | 53 | 1 months | 1/12/2016 | 1 | Stage 1 breast | Extreme joint pain. Felt bad by day 4. Had a bad reaction to tomoxifen. Trying to convince myself to keep taking it. Quality of life is more important. | F | 57 | 1 months 1mg | 1/3/2016 | 1 | Stage 1 breast | Extreme joint pain. Felt bad by day 4. Had a bad reaction to tomoxifen. Trying to convince myself to keep taking it. Quality of life is more important. | F | 57 | 1 months 1mg | 1/3/2016 | 2 | breast cancer | Glad I found this site. Recently have such severe pain in ankle and foot joints that I can hardly walk or stand for any length of time. Also have trigger finger in both hands, pain in thumbs at base of joints, and extreme fatigue. Feel like sleeping all day or extreme fatigue in afternoon. Was ok for first year. Thought all these pains was from old age - I am 65 and feel like 90. Can hardly get up and have trouble walking up and down stairs. I'm sure now it is the arimidex. | F | 65 | 2.5 years 1 mg 1X day | 12/12/2015 |
