Seek info on the aromotase inhibitor aromosin, I'm a trans woman and may, have been exposed to think poison by my trans Phobe haters?

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.
