[QUOTE="Xerxes, post: 23040, member: 5563"] First let me apologize for posting so many threads basically on the same topic in the last week or so. I was just feeling so awful and really wasn't getting any guidance from my medical professionals. You guys should know that it meant a lot to be able to get others' opinions and to know other guys are going through and went through the dialing in process and have come out on the other side feeling good. Thank you! I will continue to use Excel Male as a community of support and and resource for information as I continue on the TRT journey. Just a small update. Took .25mg arimidex on Monday with my 40mg test cyp. Anxiety decreased through the day, felt half normal for the first time in 2 weeks. Still anxiety inched up toward the evening. Tuesday no injection, no arimidex. Felt best I have in a while. Motivated to accomplish things, go for a run, much less anxious and irritable. Took 1 DIM before bed. Actually slept through night w/o any rx help for first time in 2 weeks. Today (Wed) woke up with morning wood for first time in 2-3 weeks. Did 40 mg test and .25 arimidex. Felt pretty good with minor anxiety. As day continued felt less and less anxious. Got a nice gym workout in and was motivated. I know that I need to tread lightly with the AI and I really have no guidance from my doctor. I am just happy to have some relief. I am not going to over do it. I think I will do .25mg on injection days and monitor morning wood and anxiety levels and nipple sensitivity (which I had a little of but thought it was in my head, but now is gone). I will keep you updated. I appreciate the advice and the time you guys take to read my rambling posts. I'm very new to TRT (3 months or so) and never realized how individualized it is and how difficult it could be to get dialed in (especially with doctors that really do not know much). My primary is having me in to look at some extra blood work he pulled last week (he wanted a pm test # as well) and the DHT that wasn't ready from first blood test. I'll share them when I get them. Part of my thinking is that my SHBG is lowish and that reflected in my free Test being above range by 20% while my total test is mid range makes me think that my free E2 must be equally elevated. So my thinking is that I need a lower E2 number than most to avoid having too much free E2 working in my system and could deal with a lower total test number because my SHBG seems to make more of it free. Does this theory make any sense? [B] e2 42 on a range of <40 [/B][B][B]HIGH[/B] total t = 693 range 160-853 free t = 18.2 range 3.5-15.5 [B]HIGH shbg = 20.7 range 10-57[/B][/B] [/QUOTE]
