Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Phil: I went to see my endo today. You remember that my estradiol was 119 in the latest blood work. She wants to start me on Arimidex 1mg daily! She is really concerned about all the cardiac risks in my profile, plus the high hematacrit, and feels the high estradiol is another risk factor that I don't need. I am pretty sure my insurance company won't pay for it, but she is going to try. She is lowering my testosterone shots from 150 to 100. She is also referring me to a urologist because I am having trouble peeing (my prostate feels like a rock) and a hemotologist for the hematocrit. She wants him to do a more thorough study of the issue. She raised my synthroid to 88mcg but left my cytomel as is. The question I have for you is where can I get Arimidex if my plan won't approve it. I have a written prescription. The CVS pharmacy I go to said it would be $497 a month out of pocket. Is there a mail pharmacy where I can get it cheaper? When I asked her to add me to copy on the next blood work, she started to write down Dr. Noonan! The nurse caught it and the Dr. said that I was one of the best informed patients she's ever had. That is all thanks to you and the members of this board. You all provide such an invaluable service! I really want to thank you Phil and the rest of the board responders. You are a God-send! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
