I guess 5 mg actually can be enough.
A week or two before this started, I had a whole pain-free week, but it didn't last; then I had a really rough week.
I don't think this is helping me any, but it's a trial run of what it might be like to be dependent on an as-yet-unoptimized HRT regime, so I'll continue it to see if I can live with it.

My Observations on (not?) being a eunuch: I should be feeling the full wrath of this drug by now, two weeks in; others here have been sterilized by taking it for a month. Shockingly, nothing's changed. I don't feel different. My libido hasn't changed from the two weeks before I started this drug - which, let's be honest, others would call 'chemical castration'.
The difficult things: I still hurt. Badly, and frequently. What was, several months ago, a noteworthy occurrence, has become a daily trial.
