Re: Arimidex as to sides and study's. - Postmenopausal Women

[Guest guest]

Arimidex is prescribed for post-menopausal women with hormome receptor positive

breast cancer.

Post-menopausal ovaries produce little or no estrogen. It would not be unusual

for a 60 year old man to have higher estrogen levels than a 60 year old woman.

Thank you.

That makes a lot more sense now.

It seams that I am needing more and more Arimidex after starting on Growth

Hormone. I have had to stop taking Armour meds for my Thyroid I went hyper on

it after starting on GH. My Dr. said this could happen but now my Estadiol is

going up higher I just did a HCG shot this morning at 6am took .25 mgs of

Arimidex went back to bed and got up at 8am ate and now I am sitting here with

the heat off and the ceiling fan on and sweating and feeling panic feeling. I

have cut back on my dose of HCG from 400 IU's to 250 IU's the 2 days each in

between my T shots that I do every 3 days.

In the past I eat up the T as fast as I take it now I am thinking being on GH I

don't do this anymore.

Yesterday I ended up taking 1.5 mgs of Arimidex and had wood all night long. I

must say this has me worried I am ready to stop using this GH. I don't do labs

until the end of the month. So I just have to tough it out.

I am going to cut back more on my HCG shot just going to do a 250 IU shot the

day before my T shot.

Unless the Novarel is still not right the last lot I have drove my E2 way up and

other guys on it had the some problems.

Maybe what I should do is stop the HCG shot and see if this stops that way I

will know.

I must say feeling like this is no way to live.
