Hello all. I’m new to this. Diagnosed in January. Luckily my cancer seems very treatable. I am 8 out of 8 oestrogen receptive.
ive suffered badly for the past 7 years with a rare form of arthritis which was initially caused through Lymes disease. I have had so much pain that at times I didn’t want to be alive anymore. I was treated for the Lymes and the arthritis has over the last year become so much better. It’s damage to my DNA that causes the ongoing flares. Long Lymes a bit like long Covid.
I took hrt to help protect my bones and alendronic acid. So now I’m very worried about how the oestrogen suppressing or blocking drugs are going to affect me. Very afraid of going back to that place of despair from pain levels that made life an existence.
anyone else have pre existing inflammatory arthritis? For those who don’t know it’s not the same as wear and tear arthritis. It’s an autoimmune disease that can affect any age.
thank you and I really wish you all well. I’m new to this and have learnt so much and it’s a really tough journey.
