Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Although 60pg/mL is above the recommended levels, it is going to depend a lot on what your Testosterone levels are as to whether it is high. If your Testosterone levels are running up in the 800-900 range then E2 at 60 is probably not really high. Mine will always go to 60-70 pg/mL when the T is high. I have run as high as 102 on E2. I did take Arimidex for a while but remember it should be taken in very low dosages. It is a potent drug. I had to split the little white pills into quarters and take one quarter every other day. I crashed my E2 from 100 to undetectable by taking one pill a day. Take it from one who knows, that is not fun. ________________________________ From: philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> Sent: Wed, March 9, 2011 12:04:06 PM Subject: Re: My E2 levels In my case being Hypopituitery my Dr. runs labs every 6 to 8 weeks your due for labs.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tom here is more info from Hard posting about a test. http://www.musclechatroom.com/forum/showthread.php?17415-Potential-discount-for-\ parasite-and-bacterial-testing. =============================================================== Potential discount for parasite and bacterial testing. I am currently working with Dr Amin in getting a discount for testing. If I get a good amount of people who are seriously interested I may be able to work a deal out with him. There is no kick back on my part, but just knowing that people are getting the best testing available out there by qualified. For people that are interested please let me know. I need probably >30-40 people who are seriously interested. As the results noted that >80% of my lingering symptoms thinking it was e2 and thyroid sometimes actually turned out to be severe bacteria overgrowth. I have used other labs in the past and nothing has even come close to customer service and accuracy with resolution of symptoms as this one. I had another freind that had gut issues and since doing this test is finally get resolution after chasing her tail thinking it was hormonal and thyroid and adrenal issues. She has been dealing with issues for over 5 years getting worse to point of not being able to work as a Dr. Hope this helps any one out there. If need be maybe dr john may be able to chime in on here and be able to help his patients as well. http://members.cox.net/kamin5/pathogenic%20bacteria.pdf I have been called a mad man others have called me a genius, but no way in hell will I ever be an english teacher ..

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Having an infection is not the end of the world. over 90% of the people have them and just do not know it. I suspected this from the start, but people are so inclined to point to other issues (my e2, thyroid, adrenal, yadda yadda). Funny thing is that many do not have sympsomts right away then all of sudden they are ill some day. GEt it identifed with good stool testing then treat it accordingly. SO all this time you been barking up the wrong tree. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I was told to start Arimidex 3 weeks > > > ago, > > > > > > > and I > > > > > > > > did... > > > > > > > > > For 3 days (2 times), at 0.25 mg every time. > > > But > > > > > > > then > > > > > > > > my > > > > > > > > > stomach went nuts.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 When I was first diagnosed it was 45 ng/dl not a lab error that was because the stress my body was under from the intial infection, overtraining, lack of proper digestion and losing nutrients at high rate due to malabsorption. i am working with a guy right not total T was 95 and I plan on getting him back up to 500-600 range in <6 months naturally since other factors have been identified as root cause. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I was told to start Arimidex 3 weeks > > > > > > > > > ago, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > and I > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > did... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > For 3 days (2 times), at 0.25 mg every time. > > > > > > > > > But > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > then > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 As others have said I believe,......I doubt it had anything to do with Arimidex. I had no issues whatsoever, and it did a good job of taking me from 52 to 24 quickly. I only took it for a brief time and have been off for a bit as well. ALL of us are unique individuals, and what might not bother 99 people, might bother you as the hundredth person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
