Asked By:jimboskunk1 in Honolulu, HI

I abused dangerous steroids. Gyno formed or was already there and grew intensely fast.I get flares of serious pain and swelling and growth even though I haven't touched a single steroid over 2 years. I managed to get a doctor to prescribe me in a hurry some anastrozadol because during the flare ups the pain gets so bad I can't wear a shirt.. I'm worried about the future health problems I might have if I continue to take these pills since the used to treat breast cancer in women. I have insurance
