Arimidex plus DIMis it Effective???

[Guest guest]

I do .25 g of arimidex on the day of the T injection. Is it ok to take DIM

(pills) every day between? I read the benefits of DIM are outstanding. Thank

you.

Vicky,

I feel you missing the point here when your on HC meds it will not show up on a

morning fasting blood test when you test cortisol on HC meds it will show you if

your on too much shutting down your Adreanls from working. So my Dr. runs this

test after I take 10 mgs of Cortef HC in the morning about 6 am I then go do my

labs at 8am as long as my cortiosl levels come back showing a level I am not

over doing the dose of Cortef or shutting down my ACTH what little my Pituitary

sends to my Adreanls.

So my labs every 6 to 8 weeks show my morning fasting Cortisol levels at about

what I first tested before going on Cortef 9 to 12.

Also people like us can have low Aldosterone levels and this dumps our sodium

big time making us feel dam bad. So I am on .1 mgs of Florinef with 1/2 a tsp

full of good Sea Salt added to my water 3x's / day.

You need to have this checked and if your testosterone levels are low you need

to get on Testosterone now not later when you feel you have your Adrenals

supported the longer you go with low Testosterone the more the stress of this is

going to eat up your HC or Cortef meds.

Even Dr. seen this happening to his men and started treating both at the

same time and if ones thyroid is low he now treats this to. He feels if the 3

are bad and you only treat one the guy suffers.

Taking cortef or HC meds at therapeutic dose's is very safe.

Here are some links about low Aldosterone levels I was on HC meds not feeling

much better until we tested this seen it was low and treated it.

In this link it' all about being Hypopituitary.

Some people have only a few hormone problems being Hypopituitary but you need to

check them all.

And try adding 1/4 to 1/2 a tsp full of good Sea Salt to a glass of water first

thing in the morning see if this makes you feel better.

You can try doing this it did not work out for me I got a bad rash on the back

of my lower legs doing this. We did not know it was adding the DIM to the

Arimidex my Dr. just figured this was work great. I ran out of the DIM it was

on back order my rash went away. When I got the DIM and went back on it the

rash came back.

I know men doing both if you try this don't take both in the same day see how it

goes.
