Estradiol can make you sick!

My doctor put me on estradiol about three weeks ago for hot flashes. After about a week I started to have joint pains. They continued to get worse. I told the doctor that I thought it was the estradiol. She told me oh it could be that it doesn't show that as a side effect. Sometimes I think doctors are dumber that bricks. Anyway I told her that I wasn't going to take it anymore. Come to find out that some estradiol is made from soy. Guess what I am allergic to? You got it soy. I quit using it two days ago and low and behold the joint pain went away. We as people need to take some responsibility for our health. We need to read the different reviews available including the nuphedra reviews. The moral to my story is don't take what the doctor says as law. You know your body better than they do. Keep pushing till you get or find the right answer.
