Hi all...I haven't been on the boards for awhile, but have a question. Ever since I started taking Arimidex, it seems like i bruise easily. It seems like i read a post here before that another lovely lady had the same side effect. It isn't listed as a possible side effect....but we all know how that goes. :)
Can anyone add some input?
thanks!

    Me too!
    I never made the connection but I have been bruising easily. Hmmm. Guess there isn't much I can do about it. I take lots of vitamins and eat well. I will be seeing my oncologist later this month and I'll bring it up.

    Hi Jeanne! Love your picture :D
    For me, the side effects were achey joints, moods swings...I felt down, and also, my swallow refluxes seemed affected.

    Everyone's different. You can either call your doctor, or google the information.

    As far a bruising...I've always bruised easily. That's why I wasn't suspicious that I had cancer.

    Anyway, I pray you do well on it!

    Hugs & peace to you,

    Sylvia
