Whee, drugs. My mom has been on anastrozole as well. The hot flashes evened out after a few months - I hope that is true for you as well. The downside for her has been mild to moderate joint pain. :/

I smiled for Nina too! She was fabulous in Born Yesterday, and the woman we saw down in DC in Venus in Fur, who modeled her performance after Nina's (seems Nina played the role both before and after Born Yesterday), was also excellent, so I can only imagine what Nina herself was like.
