What kind of Iron are you taking this can upset your stomach. I tried a lot of

brands until I found one that worked and got my levels up it's called.

Ferrous Fumarate - 324 mg- 100 tab

From Cypress Pharmaceutical

I take this on an empty stomach with Vit. C 1000 mgs this helps the iron work.

I can't say what did this to you might still have been Flu.

I took Ferrous Bislycinate (chelated iron) for over 1 year with no issues, the

switched per Hertoghes request to Ferrous Sulfate. Nobelprisen of these worked.

Cause I have absorption issues, due to low copper, low manganese and just low

stomach acid.

I Think anyway the keyword for my sufferigs as of late here is: Pancreas!

Hertoghe tells me to seek a gastroentorologist.

Why can't anybody tell me if I should take Arimidex or not while having

Pancreatitis? What abott Copper, Iron and Vitamin A which I also need?

I feel I am standing still.

I have a CT scan of my stomach in a few days. After this, things will be clear

with the Pancreas.

Sorry! I mean why can't any DOCS tell me...... I will try again with my GP in

a few days.. And ask Hertoghe in an email again! I think I recognoze effects of

high E2 again.. I don't like it.. No libido.. Weak ejaculates etc. I feel

less of a man now...

E2: Phil, is it normal that you feel the effect of 0.25 mg Arimidex after just 1

hour? Cause I did!

Yes Tom some men can take 1/4 of a pill and feel much better in an hour. And

after your taking Arimidex say every 3 days a 1/4 of a pill .25 mgs in about 5

weeks it builds up in your body and works very fast. I found this out from Dr.

high E2 levels give me Panic Attacks and I posted that when this happens I

can take extra Arimidex and the Pain stops in about an hour.

So man posted back to me saying I am full of it and Dr. jumped in saying it

will work very fast after your on it about 5 weeks.

I have spent a lot of time in the last week reading up on Arimidex not studies

about women taking it just postings from men on it.

Yes when you first go on Arimidex trying to get down your high levels of E2. As

the E2 comes down if your on Thyroid meds the lower levels of E2 make your

Thyroid work better. So you can have feelings like some thing is wrong with

your heart. It looks like what is going on like Barb. says is your going hyper.

Some men would lower there dose for a few days of there Thyroid meds or until

there E2 levels off a the lower levels. Some men feel off when there E2 starts

to come down Dr.'s up on this tell them to give it time the feelings will pass.

I have yet to read of a man that could not take it due to the Arimidex it's

self.

I am not a Dr. just saying what it looks like is going on to me. Men that have

high levels of E2 got this way over a long time. Bring it down very fast you can

feel a bit off for a time.

Some men don't bring down there levels fast it takes time others it works very

fast. Some men need a higher dose to get there levels down others don't. As E2

comes down it can have an effect on your nerves this can upset your stomach and

make your heart race even make your BP go up.

Thanks for the long and good info.

My symptoms now (i am still not taking arimidex) are:

* Lower BP (110/65/80)

* extreme fatigue and weakness

* Pulse around 60 in the nighttime (too low)

* Pale stools (since October 2007)

* Bloated belly

* Extreme pain in stomach 10 days ago that lastes for 3-5 days

I am at the ER now, feeling they MUST do something like examine me properly. I

might have conplications from my pancreas situation.

For all I know this is high E2 causing me to feel incredibly weak and sleepy

now.

Hertoghe is diffuse about my arimdex, if I should take it or not. I dont Get a

clear answer. I have only taken those 2 x 0.25 mg doses 10 data ago, til my

stomach went bad.

Yes Tom some men can take 1/4 of a pill and feel much better in an hour. And

after your taking Arimidex say every 3 days a 1/4 of a pill .25 mgs in about 5

weeks it builds up in your body and works very fast. I found this out from Dr.

high E2 levels give me Panic Attacks and I posted that when this happens I

can take extra Arimidex and the Pain stops in about an hour.

So man posted back to me saying I am full of it and Dr. jumped in saying it

will work very fast after your on it about 5 weeks.

I have spent a lot of time in the last week reading up on Arimidex not studies

about women taking it just postings from men on it.

Yes when you first go on Arimidex trying to get down your high levels of E2. As

the E2 comes down if your on Thyroid meds the lower levels of E2 make your

Thyroid work better. So you can have feelings like some thing is wrong with your

heart. It looks like what is going on like Barb. says is your going hyper. Some

men would lower there dose for a few days of there Thyroid meds or until there

E2 levels off a the lower levels. Some men feel off when there E2 starts to come

down Dr.'s up on this tell them to give it time the feelings will pass.

I have yet to read of a man that could not take it due to the Arimidex it's

self.

I am not a Dr. just saying what it looks like is going on to me. Men that have

high levels of E2 got this way over a long time. Bring it down very fast you can

feel a bit off for a time.

Some men don't bring down there levels fast it takes time others it works very

fast. Some men need a higher dose to get there levels down others don't. As E2

comes down it can have an effect on your nerves this can upset your stomach and

make your heart race even make your BP go up.

Just had 5 minutes on the phone woth Dr. Hertoghe and I told him I felt super

sleepy and super weak. I asked if I should start arimidex. He said dont start

arimidex cause it lowers cortisol. And according to symptoms, he said I need

GROWTH HORMONE and more cortisol. I must switch from Hydrocortison to

Prednisolone then start GH. So yeah. That was the Word of the day.

I am confused. No arimidex? But my E2 is high??????

He said My symptoms are not from high E2, but from a GH-deficiency.

Wait, you are at the ER yet called another doc? How come they didn't refer you

to an endo other specialist? And what did they say can be the cause or causes of

your symptoms?

I am waiting to Get into the ER doctors office. They always put me last case

they think I'm a nutjob. Ignorants.

I had to call Hertoghe cause he's treig giving

me hormones.

It will ve interesting to hear what the ER doc says about my symptoms today. 10

days ago I sat here with INTENSE pain in my stomach and they just said " come

back if it doesnt go away " - an didn't do ANY tests!

Nice ER.....

Tom,

That is the first time I ever heard Arimidex lowers Cortisol levels. Not for me

I have been on 30 mgs of HC for over 10 yrs now and doing Arimidex longer.

Every 6 to 8 weeks I test my morning fasting blood cortisol levels at about 8:30

am after taking 10 mgs of HC at 6 am.

My Dr. runs this test to check to see if I am shutting down my Adreanls from

taking to much HC. My labs have been between 9 to 12 for yrs showing him my

Adreanls are still working not shut down.

And when I added in Preg. cream my labs for the first time went up to 20 for

Cortisol. So the Preg. Cream is convering into some Cortisol.

If you go on Prednisolone make sure it's methylprednisolone or Medrol. Or your

going to end up with Cushing Syndrome.

====================================================

Chris' experience with Cushing's Syndrome

by Oz » Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:08 am

Written by Dec 15, 2005

Two months after diagnosis (Dec 03) and treatment (6 mg of methylprednisolone or

Medrol) for my secondary adrenal insufficiency,

I thought I'd try adding in pregnenolone (100 mg). After just a month my face

got large and several stretch marks on my inner thighs and one on my butt. I

don't think I gained much weight if I did. Also had some acne. These are all

symptoms of hypercortisolism AKA Cushing's syndrome.

On my own I figured out I needed to drop the pregnenolone and about a month

later my face went back to it's normal shape, acne disapeared, but the stretch

marks of course stayed. I don't remember feeling bad at all.

About 6 months later, I decided to try florinef .100 mcg (a max dose)

along with the 6 mg of Medrol. About a month later, I developed a

stretch mark in the front of the front of my thigh and acne came back

but worse than the first time. I had heard that florinef had some

glucocorticoid potency before I took it,

(Hydrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone and methylprednisolone are

examples of glucocorticoids. Florinef is a mineralcorticoid, helps

regulate sodium and potassium)

but had sounded to me like the potency was minimal. I did some research and

discovered that .100 mcg had the potential glucocorticoid potency of 2 mg of my

Medrol, 2 1/2 of prednisone or 10 mg of hydrocortisone (most

people don't get the glucocorticoid potency from Florinef and I don't know why

this is. From what I've seen of others over the last 3 years, I estimate 1 in 20

people get some glucocorticoid potency and 1 in 100 people get the max potency).

So taking the 100 mcg florinef and 6 mg of Medrol was like taking 8 mg of Medrol

or 2 mg over the maximum dosage. I lowered my wake Medrol dose from at the time

3 mg to 1 mg to compensate. I was taking the florinef in the morning.

I still take florinef and Medrol together. I take .125 mg of Florinef

at wake (glucocorticoid potency equivalent to 2 1/2 mg of Medrol) and

1 1/2 mg of Medrol also at wake.

I also take 1/2 mg of Medrol at 4pm and 1 1/2 mg Medrol at bedtime.

So I am at 6 mg of glucocorticoid potency between the two drugs.

Basically, what I've illustrated is that you don't have to take an

extremely large dose of cortisol or for very long to develop Cushing's

sydrome. Be very careful.

When Hertogr said I was gonna get Prednisolone instead of HC I asked " what about

medrol? " and he said NO! Prednisolone is better. He said Medrol is synthetic.

Pred is better. If I remember correctly. Why would I Get cushings on Pred? 6.5

mg pred should equal 30-35 mg HC.

True.

I did Get a kind female doc today. She was into my story.

She though I have too much stomach acid. And presceibed me Anti Acids.

So..... A hypo person pretty much always only have LOW stomach acid. I do Get

acid reflux. So... Can I have HIGH acid?

She said a CT of my stomach was a smart thing to do. It happens on Thursday.

After MY demand to my GP.

I need to sort out all the loose ends.

GERD and IBS can cause stomach pains. CT scan can show the docs and you if there

is any lower damage in your organs and region. Maybe you can be referred to an

Internalist that can help you better. Get well friend

PredniSONE is the one that's rough on the liver and doesn't make sense to

use long term. PrednisoLONE and methylprednisolone are safer.

Medrol/methylprednisolone is slightly stronger and that's why it comes in 4

mg tablets whilst prednisoLONE comes in 5 mg tablets. Both of these tablets

would roughly act like a 20 mg HC pill.

For some reason prednisolONE is used much more in the UK and Australia and

Medrol is the preferred choice in America. I'm not sure about Europe, but I

know Medrol is used as when I was on it I took a European-made name brand.

Otherwise, they've very similar.

I have to caution that if you have sodium retention issues that switching to

the pred family can worsen salt wasting due to loosing the sodium retention

that's found in cortisol. I had to raise my Florinef dose quite a bit to

avoid salt wasting on a Medrol/HC combo. Besides, cortisol is bioidentical

and preds are not. There has to be some reason the body makes cortisol and

not Medrol from the adrenal glands. I've seen pred usage being preferred

over HC when someone simply did NOT respond to even high doses of HC or just

couldn't stand the shorter half-life of cortisol. I had neither problem and

tried Medrol/HC combo and found it difficult to adjust to and went back to

just HC and like that.

Regarding anastrozole, I've felt no significant impact on my adrenal

function with it and I'm pretty sensitive to that type of stuff.

, low or high stomach acid can cause acid reflux. My reflux has always

involved low stomach acid.

Wait, you are just now feeling 'less than'? Well, you have some catching

up to do hehehe... Joking is better than depressing over it. Minor E.D. can be

reversed, you know this. One symptom at a time perhaps. Take your tests and wait

to see what the results are. Do more research online. Read side effects for high

E2 in men and other medical stuff. Get more informed. Ask questions in medical

relative forums also. Some have sliding scale fees where you can thread to docs

and have them post back to you on their theories. Medhelp is one and a min fee

is 9 dollars to ask a ques to a doc. Rest also and be well.

Thank you for the advice and kind words. I appreciate it and need it. I look

forward to seeing the CT-scan results. But not drinking contrast.
