[QUOTE="eyeheartny, post: 167414, member: 18882"] What did your TT, FT, E2, SHBG numbers look like during these periods where you felt so bad? I'm wondering if there is something to be gleaned from your FT:E2 ratio, or your total E2 level being low, or low SHBG, etc. How did your hematocrit and hemoglobin look during the worst phases for you? Did you ever do a cortisol test? I'm also curious because 1mg of Arimidex each week is a LOT, so I wonder if your E2 was lower than it needed to be for a long time if you were being overprescribed aromatase inhibitors. Were you always on compounded testosterone? Or did you ever inject "big pharma" test from Pfizer, Watson, etc? I'm very curious in my case whether the culprit may be excess free T, or whether my estradiol is elevated, lower than it should be, etc. My SHBG was already on the low side and I wonder whether the nandrolone may exacerbate that in some capacity. I also know that years ago, I self-prescribed some low-dose exemestane to try lowering my E2 to see if it helped with water retention, my sleep was disastrously bad for quite a while. Took 6 months or so to return to normal. I think I dropped below whatever threshold worked for me and I suffered for it, plus it didn't help with water retention. So I am going to be curious to see where my E2 is as well when I get bloodwork. [/QUOTE]
