[QUOTE="AbsoluteZ3R0, post: 72190, member: 15174"] When you wrote "doctor dead" in the title, I thought it was a figure of speech. I'm very sorry about your friend. I think the issue here comes down to the classic fallacy of treating numbers instead of symptoms. Your estrogen was high "on paper" on your initial protocol, but you felt greater and healthier than ever. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 but I think a truly skilled trt physician wouldn't have prescribed an AI knowing you felt like king of the world with those numbers. Not only that, but you didn't mention whether or not that estradiol reading came from the standard estrogen test or the sensitive. If it was the former, it will read higher than it actually is. Even if it was the sensitive estradiol test, high 30s isn't that bad for estrogen. Generally speaking, men with estrogen in that range have better long-term health outcomes than men below 20. I'm not a medical professional, but that's my two cents. You could pursue a restart protocol, and I'd recommend starting with Defy Medical, since they're one of the best clinics in the nation for both, conventional testosterone replacement as well as restarting. In my opinion, you'd be better off staying on testosterone, eschewing the AI entirely. You felt great and healthy when you were just on 100 mg of testosterone, and there's no good reason to think that once you kick the AI and your hormones re-stabilize that you won't start to feel good again. Of course, no matter what you decide to do at the moment, you need to get with an experienced trt doctor. [/QUOTE]
