Guest guest Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Greetings from Atlanta! 44 year old, just discovered very high estradiol and very low testosterone. My doctor is comfortable giving me testosterone treatment, but seems a little deer in headlights about the high estrogen component. I'm assuming the high estradiol level undoes anything positive from the T therapy. I am finally ready to address this issue, which in all likelihood has been affecting me for over 25 years. I'm getting the impression most doctors are not " in the know " on testosterone and the total picture, I want the best of the best doctor. I've dieted and worked out for 25 years with too little result, can't get rid of my belly, have no sex drive, have bit tits, low energy, absolutely no sex drive, hot flashes, etc. I thought this was normal. Until now. Can anyone point me in the right direction here in Atlanta? Thanks Clint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Atl Fuzzy and Welcome, I don’t know how low your Testosterone levels are or how high your Estradiol E2 is. If I were you I would get the E2 down and redo labs see if your T levels come back up. Some times getting E2 down your T levels can come back up some 200 to 300 points and if you were not to low this gets you feeling better. Here are some links about this. http://www.medibolics.com/ArimidexBoostsTestosterone.htm http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/3/1174 In the above link what is going on here is E2 is made from T when the brain sees high levels of E2 it can't tell if it's T or E2. So it thinks high levels of E2 are T and slows down sending the LH and FSH messages to your testis that tells them to make more T and you end up lower. Here is a cut and paste from one of the guys that sees this Dr. ==================================================== Dr. Natrajan now has an office in Atlanta where he has appointments at least on Friday's and maybe more if it is warranted. He does provide 20 - 75 mg pellets for men. His web site is: http://natrajan.on-theweb.com/ You may have to call the Augusta office to make the appointments. ernestnolan here sees them Dr.'s for pellets you don't need to do pellets I am sure they do any kind of TRT. E2 is the bad guy here it will make you feel like crap and kill your sex life. If you take Arimidex to get your levels down here is a copy of a file I made that shows you how to take this so you don't go to low. ==================================================== How To Take Arimdex and not go down on your Estradiol to Low. What I found is if you go to low taking arimidex, it's the length of time your to low, if your too low say for 8 weeks it can take your body a longer time to make more Estradiol. Bottom line is to know how not to go to low. Keep a log on your dose and how you feel men going to low can't get it up taking Viagra. I went to low when I first tried Arimidex and did not know about going to low or how one feels to low, so I was low a good 8 weeks. I did not know I was low until my next labs. The best gage I have found to control your Estradiol levels is to gage your night time and morning wood. At good levels or what I call the sweet spot you get your night time and morning wood back so strong it will wake you up and you can hang a coat on it. Most men do good taking .25 mgs or 1/4 of a 1mg. pill, I use a pill cutter to cut the small pill in half then I stand it on the cut end and use a single edge razor to cut this in half. A good way to take arimidex is by how high your levels are. I tested over 90 pg/ml so we tried doing .5 mgs every other day after 8 weeks my next set of labs showed it did not move below 90, test said >90. So we did .5 mgs. every day in about 2 weeks I got some strong night time and morning wood back after not having them for many yrs. I kept doing this dose and in 8 weeks my next set of labs said <20 back in the day labs were like this they did not have to good labs we have today they could not read lower the 20. My Dr. told me this looks to low to stop taking the Arimidex. The one thing I noticed was my wood stopped and stopping the Arimidex my wood came back in about 7 weeks my next test at 8 weeks was 24 pg/ml. So we went back on the Arimidex but the Dr. told me to take .5 mgs every 3 days I was on this dose not a week and lost wood. This is when I figured out going to low you lose wood. And the longer your too low the longer it takes to get levels back up. I stopped the arimidex right away and got my wood back in 4 days. I then after playing with the dose for a time found the best dose is .25mgs every 2 to 3 days. So lets say your labs are less the 50 pg/ml if your take .5 mgs you can go down so dam fast your miss the sweet spot of your wood and go to low. It's best with lower levels 50 and under to do less Arimidex .25mgs every 2 days if later your lose wood when it comes back go to every 3 days. I have found estradiol is the hardest hormone to control, it goes up or down from month to month some times I need .25mgs every 2 days other times I need ..25mgs everyday most of the time I do well on every 3 days. So between wood and labs I do great and so do most of the men I have told this to. I keep a log on how much I am taking and how I feel. Doing this and reading back in my log I was able to tell when I was going to high or to low my Dr. lets me dose my arimidex by how I feel. Over the yrs. I have posted this story until I am blue in the face.
