Location: Canada
Time Taken: 5 1/2 months days

Reason: breast cancer Date: 3 April 2009
Side Effects
Joint stiffness and pain, (though just beginning to lessen after 6 months of use), frozen shoulder which my oncologist said may be caused by Arimidex, hair thinning, rapid heartbeat (may be a continuation of side effect I experienced from chemo), almost total loss of libido, vaginal dryness and loss of elasticity - bleeding with sex (lessened considerably with lubricant), increased facial wrinkling/sagging in lower half of face, easily moved to tears and loss of general positive/upbeat attitude I had during chemo and radiation, hot flashes and sleep disruption.

Additional Thoughts
My side effects may be more pronounced as I had not been post-menopausal for 2 yrs. prior to beginning Arimidex (the criteria to be eligible for it). I had been scheduled to take Tamoxifen but DNA testing showed that I would not be a good candidate for it. In order to 'qualify' to take Arimidex, I had both ovaries removed (following radiation treatments). Possibly the rapid loss of estrogen from ovary removal plus the loss of estrogen due to Arimidex led to more severe side effects.
