[QUOTE="crazycanuck, post: 97177, member: 13937"] Thanks for the response. I guess I should clear up a few things that I omitted from the original post. There are other symptoms that would have lead to the belief of high e2 not listed. However, as we share the same goof Dr you are aware that he is not a knee jerk kind of guy and the Arimidex was provided as a last case situation to address the potential need. As I have learned in my T journey, not everyone displays the same symptoms nor is it one size fits all. I will speak with the good Doc about the sensitive e2 on follow up but from most literature, including a great article on Peak T, for age, my level on non sensitive should be 70-90 ish. Iron Avidity was considered as a possibility but was quickly ruled out as I did not respond to the normal protocol to deal with it. By removing phlebotomies, an Iron Avid person would return to a normal level for TSAT%. For me, my TSAT accelerated to almost 80%. So, as best as my HH Doc can summarize, I have an aggressive form of HH that is has me at a low ferritin level with a higher TSAT%. As the short term AI use was the only change in any variable, it would appear that I fit into the potential Arimidex Anemia side effect group. I asked the HH Doc and he indicated that here is a theoretical possibility that the Arimidex could cause the TAST drop. That is why I am asking if it is possible or if anyone has any knowledge / experience with this on the forum. The bottom line is, if an AI is able to assist with controlling my TSAT%, are their long term harmful effects of low dosage use, can they be offset by increasing T dose? Not to sound dramatic, to me, it could become a matter of a slow painful death due to excessive iron stores destroying my organs and sending me into organ (liver/kidney/heart) failure due to the damage or, addressing it through a hormonal balancing act. If and AI works doing double duty, I'm clear on my choice. [/QUOTE]
