[QUOTE="Misery, post: 173155, member: 40184"] I'm not sure how to ask my question, but I would like to know the specifics on why low shbg is such a problem in regards to elevated E2? I understand that when one is low on shbg that E2 can get out of control, my question is why administering an AI doesn't work. I'll use my self as an example, when I recently raised my dose from 150mg/weekly divided up daily to 200mg. I passed through the "sweet spot", when acne, bloating, mood swings/anxiety began, I began micro dosing aromasin(one to two drops daily). This helped right away, however after about 7 days doesn't seem to give the same relief. This has me thinking that there must be some other variable that I am unaware of, like my body is actually automatizing more with the continued AI. I crashed my E2 once and never want that again so I am very conservative with AI dosing. Part of me wants to throw caution to the wind and just take the indicated dose but I fear the crash. My care is through the VA so I don't have access to all of the labs that most of you do and I simply cannot afford them on my own. I did manage to get the VA to test SHBG once about a year ago and it came back at 18 which was below the range. So what happens to low SHBG types.... Test reaches stability, E2 climbs and symptoms start, AI is administered, something goes haywire. What is it about low SHBG that E2 seemingly cant be controlled with an AI"? [/QUOTE]
