[QUOTE="Bamboo, post: 220332, member: 18710"] Start out with a brief history. Im 56 type 1 diabetic. Have been for 53 years. Been on TRT for 5 years has improved my overall blood glucose and I have sex drive again. 3 years ago i found a pretty good TRT Doc. I'm in Idaho and choices are limited. Last summer 2021 he handed me off to a new physician within his clinic. At that time my testosterone was averaging between 550 and 700 tested quarterly. Was taking. Test cyp. 20 mg evry 3.5 days. 200mg/ml. Equaling 80mg every 7 days. Anastrozole .5mg every 3.5 day My E2 was averaging 26/36 pg/ml. E2 was 70+ range with out anastrozole. Test was ultrasensative. SHBG 40 nmol/L Free 60 pg/ml Bio available 105 ng/dl I felt pretty good. Sex drive was decent . Morning wood was rare. New Doc wanted too see my numbers higher. Upped my dosage. Double to 160mg a week. Split every 3.5 days subcutaneous. Kept anastrozole the same . Starting feeling much better. Morning wood was a thing again. In September I got a bad pain in my left foot . Seemed to be plantar fasciitis . Did a lot of stretching didn't help. Walking helped some ibuprofen some. During this time I wanted to see if my E2 would stay down if I got off anastrozole. So I dropped it about 4 weeks before quarterly testing. Pain went away in my foot. I didn't link it to anastrozole. When I tested E2 was 74. So i started back on anastrozole and foot pain immediately returned. Thought maybe it was coincidence so I stopped anastrozole again and within 3 days the pain subsided. A couple weeks passed and to eliminate any doubt I started back on anastrozole. Pain returned within 60 hours. Also the foot pain started 2 weeks after my second covid vaccine inj . I definitely think the pain from anastrozole was triggered by the vaccine. TRT Doc. Agreed it was the anastrozole causing the tendon issue. He then put me on 60mg a day of Raloxifene. I have taken it for 3 months and my E2 is still 70. No change. Now he wants to double the dosage to 120mg a day. From what I have read . Raloxifene is used primarily for gynecomastia. Not for lowering E2. Hoping to get some feed back on the use of raloxifene for high E2. Election quality has dropped . Not sure if it high E2 or Raloxifene. Also what is best alternative to anastrozole for AI ? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
