Hi Romola! Welcome to Susan's Place! I'm Jessica. I myself am unfamiliar with aromosin. I will investigate and get back to you on that.
I see your new here, so I'll post some links that may help you get better acquainted with the site.

It is also called exemestane and is used in a treatment for breast cancer.
I know that they provide it to cis women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer to inhibit estrogen's effects. Often in concert with afinitor, also known as everolimus.
I know that a few women on a breast cancer forum I was a member on listed itching and infections between cheek and gum as side-effects.
It is an aromatase-inhibitor.
Body builders use Tamoxifen and Anastrazole to prevent T from turning into E, when they are on their steroid cycle.
This is what I know about it.
Be safe and get well.
Also please see a doctor and have your blood checked.
Hugs,
Transfused.

I imagine that if you were taking estrogen and your T was low, it wouldn't really make much of a difference because your T isn't aromatizing much anyways and you are taking E exogenously.
