[QUOTE="Tman, post: 151510, member: 22394"] So I'm a low shbg guy and I have struggled over the past year with estradiol management. About three, four weeks ago I switched to an everyday protocol. I was on 40 mg every other day my new protocol was 16 mg daily. Well lo and behold I felt fine for a short while, but then I started to have anxiety, ear ringing, itchy eyes, tightness in my chest some pin pricking in my left chest my left arm sorry to feel heavy and tingling, so I took an AI and I felt much better. So again the ugly E reared its head, and even on daily dose I would need an AI. So I've had my blood work completed twice over the last three or four weeks and my estradiol is just as high as it was running 40 mg every other day. I'm posting this because my total testosterone actually dropped from almost 800 to 580 on the new dose. I feel about the same overall though I am disappointed I still need an AI and I'm still having so many estrogen effects. Technically I probably feel a little bit worse because I've had a lot of heartburn and chest tightness since the change as well. But the drop in total testosterone really surprise me.
