Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 When you get your Estradiol levels down you should have night time and morning wood so strong it wakes you up when this happens your in the sweet spot for your Estradiol levels and it helps your AF you don't feel as stressed out. Now you went up to .5 mgs did you get some great night time and morning wood. If you did then you lost it again your Going Down To Low on your Estradiol stop the Arimidex until your wood comes back dam strong that day go back on it but take less say .25 mgs every 3 days. You need to be able to tell when your levels are going up to high it's not the same as when you go to low going to low you lose your wood and Taking Viagra will not help. Going to high you can get sore and hard nipples your penis will not stay hard or even get hard enough for sex it will be only be half as hard. You can feel hot and sweat a lot and feel Anxiety or panic. I tell men to keep a log on what your taking and how your wood is doing if you wake and don't feel you had wood see if you can get it up fast and if it's good wood if not your going to low if your doing a higher dose of Arimdex. On avg. men only need .25 mgs every 2 to 3 days. Try stopping the arimidex for a week or two and see if your wood gets better. I only use labs as a tool over the Holidays my Estradiol shot way up it was because my Dr. told me to take some DHEA even though my labs were good for it he feels we all need it. Well it drove up my Estradiol levels 2x's from where I need them and my DHT when 2x's above the top of the range. My DHEA went from mid range to 3x's above the top of the range. I was a mess for 4 weeks until I seen my labs then I knew it was the DHEA you see it will drive up your Estradiol levels if you don't need it. And as I was talking to my friend Hardasnails he said this is why he is have problems we both stopped the DHEA and now are doing better. You need to keep your Estradiol levels in the sweet spot gaging by your wood. As for your AF what are you doing to treat it.

What's your E2 level? Driving it too low can kill libido. You need find out where your E2 levels are to begin managing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi thanks for the reply, no i did'nt get nighttime or morning wood on the .25 dose of arimidex hence why i upped it to .5 and then .5 every day for a bit. I treat my adrenal fatigue with a combination of hydrocortisone and prednisolone, about 30mgs of cortisol all up, using a CFS protocol that uses low doses of both and this is working well for me, better than each on their own. My dhea is not even in range hence why my doc wants me on it, but when i take it i get sexual dysfunction and it makes my t3 pool from my thyroid S, so i just pissed it off entirely and don't care if i got below range labs for it. I'll try stopping the arimidex for a bit and see if that helps, not really sure what else to try at this point. I got issues with my gut, are full of candida and parasites and probably have some vitamin and mineral deficiencies would this cause me to get sexual dysfunction? i know this is not good for the adrenals and i'm about to embark on a parasite killing diet. Also what about low dopamine levels would this cause sexual dysfunction despite good testosterone labs? > > >Hi phill and everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Interesting what you just said about sweating and feeling hot, i noticed i sweat uncontrollably all the damn time, and i'm forever hot and i get severe anxiety, i assumed it was always from the t3 content in the thyroid S but my levels are always within range on the blood tests so its most likely not that doing it. If you were to go to low on e2 would you have the opposite problem no sweating? > > > From: shaun r <shaun.repacholi@...> > > Subject: interesting new labs > > > > Date: Monday, January 11, 2010, 8:58 AM > > Hi phill and everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 When you did this Arimidex did you ever get any night time and morning wood what were your levels if your very high over 50 you need .5 mgs every other day. If not very high on Arimidex you can fall low very fast and miss the sweet spot. Here is what I do for my Adrenals and I help a lot of Prople at my Thyroid forum with this problem. I am retired and still wake at 5 to 6 am so I take my Cotref HC 10 mgs at this time and my 2 grains of Armour. I do T shots every 3 days and HCG the 2 days each in between so I do them too. I started on Growth Hormone GH and do this shot then also. I go back to bed and get up at 8am feeling dam good. I am also on Florinef with Sea Salt you would do good to add some good pink Sea Salt to a glass of water 1/2 tsp in the morning it will make you feel better. My Aldosterone and Renin levels are low and my Adrenals dump my sodium. Here is a good link about this. http://www.tuberose.com/Adrenal_Glands.html and this link is about salt. http://www.eaec.org/bookstore/books/sywth-excerpt.htm So after I wake up I eat at about 9am so I take 5mgs of Cortef HC then at 1pm I take 10 mgs this is about the time I get home from my workouts and it keeps me going. Then at 6 pm I take 5mgs and now that I am on GH I take 2.5 mgs to keep my sugar levels up. In this link there is a FAQ's I helped make it's full of links and info about dosing and Stress Dosing for bad AF. http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/ Co-Moderator Phil > From: shaun r <shaun.repacholi@...> > Subject: Re: interesting new labs > > Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010, 12:15 AM > Hi thanks for the reply, no i did'nt > get nighttime or morning wood on the .25 dose of arimidex > hence why i upped it to .5 and then .5 every day for a bit. > I treat my adrenal fatigue with a combination of > hydrocortisone and prednisolone, about 30mgs of cortisol all > up, using a CFS protocol that uses low doses of both and > this is working well for me, better than each on their own. > My dhea is not even in range hence why my doc wants me on > it, but when i take it i get sexual dysfunction and it makes > my t3 pool from my thyroid S, so i just pissed it off > entirely and don't care if i got below range labs for it. > I'll try stopping the arimidex for a bit and see if that > helps, not really sure what else to try at this point.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 In the last post I told you about Sea Salt in this link are how to test for low Aldosterone and Renin levels you might need Florinef .1 mgs in the morning and it is = to about 10 mgs of HC but diff. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/aldosterone/test.html And here are some links from the guy that helped me to see this. http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=12 & t=15454 http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=12 & t=15453 http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=12 & t=15450 Now that I take Florinef and Sea Salt I am fine. I had a hard time with my Heart Dr.'s over this they wanted me on a low sodium diet and it was killing me. They took me off the Florinef after my heart bypass sugary and I needed to run the labs again to prove to them they can't keep me on a low sodium diet and that I need Florinef. I am lucky my Heart Dr. use to treat people for Pituitary problems and Hormones before he became a Heart Dr. If you start on Florinef you need to start with 1/4 of a pill and go up 1/4 every 5 days until your doing .1mgs.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I had my bloods drawn for aldosterone and it came up normal, my renin was slightly elevated but only by a fraction. Dr thought at that point that fludrocortisone was definetly not justified and that the slight mineral corticoid properties of HC would be enough. I was taking the grey celtic sea salt every morning with a glass of water but started to develope high BP so i stopped it and its back to normal now, maybe i should probably just do abit less i dont know. My estrodial levels were pretty high, my total T was at the top of the range and my free t was 2/3 of the lowest under normal range, so like 20 points under the bottom, i'm thinking after not taking any arimidex today and yesterday and now i seem to be feeling even worse than i'm gonna need 1/2 a tab every 2 days.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 When you did the Aldosterone and Renin labs did you fast from salt a few days before doing the labs if you did not fast your labs are not ture. I don't like that kind of Sea Salt I use the cheper pink Sea Salt. http://www.amazon.com/Real-Food-Trading-Company-Himalayan/dp/B0009L4QWI Yes go on .5 mgs of Arimidex for a time If you get your night time and morning wood keep track of it if you lose it your Estradiol is going down to low. If this happens just stop the Arimidex until the wood comes back then that day go back on it but do .25mgs.
