  1. New on TRT.... High Estrogen - Arimidex Dosage advice

    I don't have first hand experience but from what I've read it is best to start with very low doses of arimidex and slowly creep up on it all the while monitoring your E2 levels. If it were me I wouldn't start with any more than .5mg/week and give it some time to stabilize before retesting. If...
  2. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    I have been taking a half dose Avodart for about a month now. Last week I was surprised at how strong I felt during running. My pace suddenly dropped by 30 sec per mile with no additional effort and my muscles really tolerated the exercise well. I thought that cutting the Avodart down was...
  3. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    Matrix, this was the quote from you I had in mind. It seemed that the muscle twitch you mentioned here may have had something to do with estrogen which is why I was asking about it.
  4. Boston Medical is a scam?

    This sounds like an unusual form of Peyronie's Disease perhaps blocking certain blood flows. You need to have this examined by someone that investigates issues like this.
  5. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    Matrix, I saw in one of your earlier posts that you had issues with muscle twitch. This is also characteristic of my muscle problems. I believe that you figured out the cause of this for yourself. Can you please tell me what you learned about that?
  6. Reducing progesterone?

    I've been seeing mixed postings on progesterone cream. Some claiming it helps while others like yours just the opposite. Apparently men vary widely in their responses to various hormonal manipulations. It seems there is no way to know in advance how you will respond and the consequences of...
  7. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    I do the best I can with diet and lifestyle. I don't think they can be improved other than exercising more but this is limited by my injury problems that I am trying to solve. Do you have some specific things in mind?
  8. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    I finally got around to getting the sensitive estrogen test from Quest. My result was 28 pg/mL which is just below the reference range of <29 pg/mL. This is certainly lower than I expected. Given that it is at the top of the range it may still be too high for me but it hardly seems high...
  9. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    Thanks for finding that article DragonRider. It jogged my memory - I did know that DHT is important for development.
  10. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    Thank you for the reply DragonRider. I have noticed that there are mixed views on the importance of DHT. The medical literature tends to discount its value. There is a rare medical condition where men do not make DHT. I'm not aware of any problems these men have. One problem that they don't...
  11. Muscle injuries despite high T and IGF-1

    I am 49 and in recent years seem to be prone to muscle injuries with very poor recovery. To be more specific it all started with a single run of 16 miles which was double what I had been doing in training at the time but I was in fantastic shape. This overdone workout trashed my anterior...
