[QUOTE="davidrn, post: 48396, member: 13164"] I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I am on TRT, so several things to balance. Last month I noticed I was getting a slight amount of pitting edema along my lower (bilat) shins, could be missed by a lesser clinician. I wasn't sure if it was the Hcg or the Preg/DHEA, but I was certain it was higher E2. So I took some Arimidex for about 3 days, then got in for several tests. I continued the AI until I went on vacation, and decdied to skip a week of Hcg and AI. I got my labs back quickly, and it turned out my E2 was low when I tested, E2 17.9pg/ml 8-35 TT 861 ng/dl 348 - 1197 FT 26.2 pg/ml 6.6 - 18.1 Prolactin 11.0 ng/dl 4 - 15.2 C Reactive protein (sensitive) 8.7 mg/l 0- 4.9 DHT 39 ng/dl Other labs were all WNL and good So, last CRP was low 0.9 mg/l, although this was when I was still on Prednisone, (and Enbrel and Methotrexate). The pain is resolving today after 2 or so weeks of knee pain, I am assuming the reason for the pain was the lower than 17.9 E2, and that this also was the reason for the higher CRP? Any thoughts? My prolactin has usually been about this result, am I too low to attempt a trial of (liquid) Cabergoline? My libido still is not good, and I have delayed ejaculation, a long standing issue. I understand that my RA is not a typical TRT component of many men in this forum, but RA is responsible for 60% of its male victims to have low T, so its a common issue in my disease community.
