The Blame Game...

I recently read a post on my local Casting For Recovery Facebook page where someone asked if anyone had been off of Arimidex for long enough that they had noticed a change in their side effects from the medication.  They specifically named lack of emotion and energy and mood swings. 

WHAT?

I didn't know those were side effects of Arimidex!  I've been on it for 8 years and have 2 more to go, even though I asked Dr. Montgomery at my last appointment if I could stop taking it - he said no.

But, to get back to why I loved this question. 

I love it when I can come up with a good reason for my bad behavior.  Now, I feel completely comfortable in blaming it on the Arimidex.  Life really is good...


Woot!

    I hate it when I have the side-effects of a drug I'm not taking.

    I love non-specific symptoms. That could probably describe anything from depression to gluten intolerance to menopause to erectile dysfunction to a thyroid problem.

    That said, Kate is just nuts. And so am I.

    Well, I'm pretty sure I don't have ED. But other than that, I don't care how vague it is, I'm going with it!

    And yes, you and Kate are nuts. Good thing she doesn't live nearby, you two would be such trouble...

    If the men who came up with those meds had to take them, they would be off the market in a flash. And , Kate, its even worse for you and your "not taking" symptoms. so bad.
