    Hot flashes are unlikely to be a symptom of increasing or increased E2, and more likely to be a symptom of decreases in E2 levels or low E2.

    After reading up a ton of literature on Estrogen effects on males, there's really a whole bunch of realisations about how extremely useful it is in male function and consequently how misunderstood and mishandled it is by men or TRT clinics. I'm glad Nelson seems to have a much better...

    Accidentally took a megadose of Estradiol in place of Testosterone

    I've been very foggy after dealing with a thiamine paradox reaction that won't go away (long story - I have CFS, so used thiamine to treat it). Hence this morning, instead of TRT I pinned Estradiol Valerate without realising. The dose was 20mg - which is roughly equivalent to 40 oral 2mg...

I only ask this because many people on this forum say very nasty things about Arimidex... Is the only real possible side effect really just gynecomastia? P.S. - This...

    Phytoestrogens?

    Funny, one website says things like cruciferous vegetables, soy, herbs etc lower estrogens, the next website assures one that these same things raise estrogens. One says lowers cancer risks, Next says raises cancer risks. Surely there's a way to basically test this sort of thing?
