[QUOTE="Everydaystruggle, post: 77295, member: 16016"] [FONT=Helvetica]This is something I'm going to bring up to dr saya for my first appointment but around 5 months or so ago the endo I was seeing told me I needed to get off of trt so that he could get accurate blood work. What had happened was I was originally with one dr who prescribed me trt. My estrogen got out of control, he couldn't get it in check and pretty much said we don't know what to do because arimdex made me sick.
