[QUOTE="jimithing, post: 12230, member: 641"] HI everyone, I've been on Hcg now for a year or so. Currently at 450iu 3x a week. Just had labs drawn today and meet with my doc in about 10 days to discuss results. At my last lab draw my E2 had tanked to low single digits as I was on anastrazole 1/2 tab twice a week. After this I went to 1/4 tab twice a week. Im wondering if the E2 is still low. I'll find out soon. Anyways not sure if this is related to potentially my E2 level or not but my eyes have been super dry the last 6 months or so and seems to be getting worse. I've had lasik in the past-2007 and use drops 2-3 times per day. I've seem my PMD and he thought that it was potentially related to my E2 level being low. He checked my eyes and said they looked fine. Could this be related to E or T? I eat pretty clean, mostly paleo diet gluten and dairy free. I would say moderate amount of caffeine. 1-2 cups coffee in AM and pre-workout in afternoon prior to gym 4-5 days/week if im lifting. No caffeine if im cycling or running. I typically get 7-8hours of sleep per night, 9 or so on the weekends but in the last 3 weeks or so my sleep has been pretty bad, especially falling asleep. I've also noted that i have a higher amount of aches and pains than normal and workouts are taking an extra day to recover from. Im assuming this is T or E related and my lab results will reflect that. My question is if the eye dryness is related to hormones? If not would any of the below supps cause it? If i need to i'll make an appt with an opthamologist for further workup. Other supps I take: Multivitamin ADAM from NOW Vit D 5000u/day Fish oil ZMA-QHS B-100 - BID Curcumin 250mg BID Rhodiola 500mg BID Ubiquinol 50mg Siberian Ginseng 500mg BID Ginger Root 550mg BID Adrenal - Pure Encapsulations BID 5-Htp 200mg QHS L-Theanine 200-400mg QHS L-Carnitine 1000mg daily or BID L-tyrosine 1000mg daily or BID L-Arginine 900mg daily or BID L-Citrulline 750mg daily or BID I take BCAA's during my workouts and usually a pre-workout using Tier 1 from Citadel Nutrition. Thoughts or suggestions much appreciated! thanks! [/QUOTE]
