A week of aches and pains and whingeing about it!!!

I know all about the aches and pains associated with the Hormone Therapy, but i haven’t had them quite like this since the first couple of weeks i started them back in September 2013. They eased off for about 6 months but this past week or so they are back with a vengeance. It reminds me of when used to get flareups of Rheumatoid Arthritis back in the 90’s and my GP said it was hormone related and would gradually abate as i got older which is exactly what happened!

So perhaps he was right and it is all hormone related and as i am now taking hormones (i also take Thyroxine hormones as well as the Anastrozole) maybe i am overloaded with hormones! I was thinking of asking for a thyroid level blood test as i feel quite slow and tired, but who knows? it’s probably all related to the B/C treatment.

I started taking a Cod Liver Oil supplement this week and i was hoping someone might be able to recommend any other things that i could try that we would be able to take alongside all the other medication we have to take every day. Strangely, I notice that whenever the weather is warm and dry it is worse, i thought it was meant to be the other way round!!

Thanks for listening to my whingeing!!

Cheers, Michele :slight_smile: x

Hi Michelle,

 

whinge away, it’s what we all do from time to time. I also have RA and I’m on Anastrazole. I don’t take Cod Liver Oil, I just take the Omega 3 fish oil (body and skin but not liver) but I also take Evening Primrose Oil and a vitamin C tablet, + folic acid. Don’t feel too bad at the moment. xx
