It is a sign of detox, usually from something/s the body is

encountering during the day. Can be foods, environmental issues, etc.

And, most of those issues are caused by mercury.

Enzymes can address food intolerances, and food intolerances can cause

sweating. Have you tried digestive enzymes, and if so, did they help?

This sounds like High E2 Estradiol get it tested doing the TRT you have been

doing will driver this way up. You can get some Indolplex/DIM OTC and take one

tablet at dinner and get it down in less then a week or 2.

My doctor has no interest in looking into this as it is not a medical

Any one have some insight?

Thanks for the advise. I plan to order DIM from Beyond a Century. They

sell the herb bulk for cheap but I have to encapsulate the stuff

myself (15 minutes for 50 capsules).

I don't advise using that Indolplex/DIM is different it does not get killed in

your stomach. There is a lot of DIM out there that just does not work. The

Indolplex/DIM all you take on one tablet to start at dinner time. later you may

need to cut it in have so you don't go to low on your Estradiol.

Softy -

Just curious, have your doctors ruled out " hyper " thyroid?? Sounds

to me as if something is regulating your metabolism up, thus the

sweating and heat. Are you of normal size (height and weight)???

Given that sensitivity to the cold is a side of hypothyroid, that's

why I am thinking your issue might be hyper....

Blessings,

Bill

My night sweats was caused by high E2. 1/2 Arimidex every other day

for a week stopped it. Now do 1/2 tablet every 3 days.

While I feel hot at night, I also feel hot during the day. I would say

it is a 24 hr thing for me.

I had my Thyroid tested and it is normal.

Good question about body shape/size. No, I don't have a normal body

shape. I have always been a little overweight and overly muscular. I

have the a fire-hydrant body type. Currently, I am 5' 7 " and about

240lbs. (The body mass index does not work for me as I am off the

chart by a large margin.)

Plus, I was always slightly less active than average.

Now, I have a big problem with being overweight. I tried dieting but

that slowed my metabolism big time as I put on about 20lbs in a couple

of months.

I suspect weak adrenal glands. What do you think, could that cause a

constant hot flash. My mom took some prednison for cancer and wow what

a difference it made. She had tons energy and vitality.

My understanding of pills is as follows:

Uncoated tablets dissolve in the stomach.

Capsules also dissolve in the stomach.

Enteric coated pills don't dissolve until in the small intestine.

Per BAC, add Bioperine and/or oils to enhance absorption of DIM.

My wife and I were told are thyroid tests are normal Dr.'s are not to good at

reading ranges and when you tell them your not feeling good they want to give

you Prozac. Get the test and post them.

http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/features/ref_ranges-7.html

We need to show this to most Dr.'s when they tell us we on in the normal range

and it's low.

I never tried it with oil but some of the men here some time ago were using

cheep DIM and found if they took it with oil it did not get killed in the

stomach.

Probably nothing. Maybe he is new to the internet, or

new to online forums and just does not know enough yet

to start a new topic. I sure made mistakes when I started

out on message boards.

Sure I do depo t shots every 3 days .5mls of 200mgs/ml. And the 2 days in

between each I do 250 IU's of HCG. I take .5mgs of arimidex everyother day to

keep my E2 in check. I have been on TRT for 23 yrs do it all this works the

best. I just this yr. found out I am Hypopituitary due to a head injury so this

is why my T levels are low. Now we know that my cortisol and thyroid are also

low due to this. I am 63 and weight is to dam high.

By the way, do you have something constructive to add the topic of

sweating?

Phil,

Thanks for your kind response. I did a low-volume/high-frequency

dosing (20 mg./every 3 days) TRT early this year and had to stop due

to unmanageable nip itching/swelling and night sweats. I have tried

Indolplex/DIM, Calcium DaGlucarate, and Nolvadex but to no avail. The

scheme also raised my DHT to a whopping 991 pg/mL (range 36-573).

Stopping the TRT altogether dropped my DHT to a tolerable level of 331

but also brought down my total T from 706 to 498 which made me feel

crappy as well.

Four months later I had early symptoms of BHP and my PCP gave me

Avodart. It is claimed to be more potent than Propecia in fighting

elevated DHT. A few days after my first dose, I started to get nipple

itching and swelling. Somehow, one of Avodart's side effects is

breast swelling. Does it also raise E2? I'm not sure but ¼ mg./wk of

Arimidex (which heretofore my doctors were adamant to prescribe) took

care of the nipple and night sweat problem. One thing I have noticed

in my case is that an E2 reading of 28 is high enough to cause all the

symptoms of high estrogen whereas a reading of <20 makes the nasty

sides disappear. Armed with Arimidex, I am eager to once more resume

my T-cyp injections. I am 67yo, 5'-6 " in height and weigh 140 lbs.

Hi Taddeo if your SHBG is on the low side you can do much better with a lower E2

I was keeping mine at 20 pg/ml but in talking to DR. at his site he told me

lower SHBG like mine was 20 for my E2 could still be to high. So now I am

keeping it at 15 seems to be working much better.

In your case try keep your E2 down for a time and then retest your Total and

Free T levels because they can come back up. Your brain can't tell the

difference between the 2 and if your E2 is high your brain will stop sending the

LH to your testis to make more T getting E2 down now your brain sees your low

and sends more LH and your T levels can go up.

http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/3/1174

I use my morning wood to gauge my E2 levels to not go to low if my wood stops

I stop what I am using until the wood comes back then I go back on it but do

less.
