This is a post from a man being treated for low t after yr's. on Androgel from the H2 group. A cut and paste.
------------------------------------------------------------
The switch to Arimidex was a relatively fortuitous series of
events. My regular PCP withdrew from practice back in June, my
urologist moved to a much more inconvenient location, I switched my
insurance and it was time to get someone to convince my insurance
company to cover my Androgel prescription.
Before doing so, I decided to research what, if anything, was
new in the area. That brought me to this group where I learned about
Arimidex and other things. I followed all the leads until I learned
everything I thought I was going to learn, then checked with my
insurance company for the closest urologist.
Going in for my first appointment with my new urologist, I
figured I would not show off my new found knowledge but rather see
what the urologist had to say. After the physical examination, I
mentioned that I would probably need a new Androgel prescription, and
he asked me if I would be willing to try a different approach that he
had much success with: Arimidex. I immediately knew I had hit pay
dirt. My urologist thinks that high E2 is generally bad news for
men, including contributing to prostate cancer, and he predicts that
Arimidex will be widely prescribed for men in a few years.
Just to be redundant, this treatment does not work unles your
gonads are prepared to pump out a reasonable amount of testosterone.
