[QUOTE="FreeRangeYeti, post: 60709, member: 14864"] I think what was more concerning was that I was told to take it by my physician without any discussion of sides. In talking to a doc here, he was asking about how I carry as much muscle mass as I do without supporting testosterone. My last dexascan had me at 210 lbs. lean mass and 68 lbs. fat. He contends that my problem may be more cortisol related driving the increased estrogen production. Does anyone have any ideas on that? I looked at my labs, and I don't see anything specific for ACTH. They tested the T3 & T4 that I listed in the thread above. Could an elevated cortisol level from all the stress I have been going through be a reason why my test is low and my E2 is high, or does that not make sense? I am trying to get an idea of what labs to have my doc run before consulting with Defy or anyone else. I don't want to go to TRT if there is another route to try first. I have always been an anxious, Type A person prone to anxiety, but I haven't until the last few years had trouble recovering from workouts, needing more sleep, lacking motivation, lower sex drive, etc. [/QUOTE]
