Arimidex and weight gain

Knuckle sandwich for me then…how many calories in that??

Hi Dahlia, it’s quite amazing the differences that you come across on here with ref. side effcts and problems. I know for you, gaining weight be be as depressing as it is for me trying to lose some.

I wish you all the best,

Hi Lynn,

Sorry to hear you are feeling rotten (((((x))))))

I’ve just come back from the nurse at my practice with ref. my weight. I went through my long story and informed her of the tablets I am on and she took no notice.

I then went through my daily intake and I am going wrong by having no breakfast…which I never have had…not eating enough lunch…dont snack between meals…eat more fruit…walk more… WOW!!! I learned a lot…not. OH,…NO TREATS EVER!!!

As I said, she took no notice of the Arimidex as being a factor in my metamorphosis into an elephant,admitting she didn’t much about the drug…so, I see her again in 2 weeks and will try her plan for me. Nothing to lose…well, weight hopefully…lol.

I’m keeping a diary of what I eat and excerise I take…oh dear…so let’s wait and see!!
