So I started oral estradiol 2mg and bicalutimide 50mg about 2 weeks ago. A week in, I started feeling these weird pains in my body. They felt like small stabbing pains that immediately dulled - almost like the pain of getting an injection, and were always in my legs, arms, or chest.
I asked my doctor about it, and he had no idea. He just said they weren’t a reported side effect of either med, and the only way to tell if it was the meds was to stop them.
I’m really paranoid about, like, fucking dying, so I stopped my medication 3 days ago and the pains have subsided. I was just wondering if anyone here has shared my experience. I’d like to know what the hell that was, and if it’s safe to continue treatment.
It is possible the estrogen is responsible for the lowered estrogen, you do not know that the gemmotherapy is the reason your testosterone went down. When your body has sufficient estrogen, it will shut down production of testosterone. I know this because I did not take an anti-androgen and only took estrogen myself to suppress my testosterone production.
