does anyone else have the same experience as myself, its almost a year since my surgery radiotherapy and am on arimidex,there are days when i wake up feeling so tired and it takes me all day to do my daily living tasks i do a bit rest and do another bit, i never was like that i feel so annoyed with myself some days and other days i get up and get on with it, i have had blood test xrays and a bone scan all which have been clear tg, i do have thyroid and a heart problem but this fatigue is infringing on my life so much, that’s how it is I’m afraid
Hi
I don’t know how old you are or how long you have been on the Arimidex but I do know that fatigue is a common problem with menopause and it is made a whole lot worse by Arimidex. If you have gone through the menopause it is most likely a side effect of the drug. Have you checked with your GP or Onc? I too take Arimidex, 4 months now, have the usual bone/joint problems, low moods and occasionally the awful fatigue. Seems to be this little pill is more potent than it looks!!!
Love Jan
Thanks Jannie1 for your reply, you have given me some identification, yeah i have spoken to my GP an was just told it is to be expected, i have onc appointment coming up so will bring it up again. I just get so fed up that it is interfering with my life i am often just so tired and it makes me feel low and tearful at times and i know i have so much so far to be grateful for.
thanks again for your reply
