i mentioned before that i cannot take estradiol due to the danger it poses to my health; my body has a tendency to grow estrogen-sensitive nerve tumors that swell up in its presence. until i had learned and accepted this truth, i was taking oral E for maybe 6 years in total. now that i understand the risks from firsthand experience i would like to share what i'm currently doing and my plans for the future.
