I use a DIM supplement now, and some vitamins. Everyone needs some estrogen for the body. I dont believe starving it is a good thing if this is what happens. I am on week 7 of stopping, and still not back to normal, but I am not the basket case I was and the pain is minimal.

Jeaniebean did you try different estrogen blockers? The reason I ask, is I am experiencing multiple symptoms that have become challenging to say the least. When I go to the Oncolgist appointment in a few weeks I’m going to ask to try a different one. I have been on anastrozole for 2 years now. With the pain in the joints and muscles pain waking me up, hot flashes which now just disturb my sleep, I’ve started with trigger finger which also wakes me up. I am a Yoga teacher and have my own practice which has gone through many changes due to the massive changes in my mind and body. Whew, no one has a clue what we go through when we get that cancer diagnosis and start our new journey through life. So Jeaniebean, what is a DIM supplement and how many estrogen blockers did you try? I am so thankful for all of you that share your stories. Don’t know why but that is hard for me.
