Jagged little pill

I discovered that my recent muscle pain and feeling tired in the afternoons were due to my daily hormone treatment pill "Arimidex". I was ok for the first month on it but have gradually been getting more aches

Forgot to take it one night and didn't realise until about mid-day the next day. Didn't want to stuff up the timing so decided I'd just skip a day, then realised I was feeling great, no aches and more energy. Took it that night and it was back to aching muscles up the backs of my legs and my lower back, and feeling really tired.

Managed to get an appointment for the oncology clinic a few days later and I was all prepared for having to make a tough call on whether to stop taking it  when the registrar said "It's ok, there's another 2 drugs we can put you on, we'll see how you go on Letrozole" so we'll see. 

This week's hereceptin went with no problems at all, and lots of comments from the nurses about how great my hair was looking. I've had a few people stroke my head to see if it feels as soft as it looks - and yes it does, it's how you'd imagine a cuddly polar bear cub's fur feels like
