Facial and finger edema

**Indymuscleguy** · 02-21-2009, 11:05 PM

Group,

I'm getting a 'moon' face and my fingers are swelling for the first time, ever. Should I consider Aromasin or a different AI -or- OTC diuretic?

Age 43 *Today*
Stats 5'10" 185lbs 15% bf

Cycle
Week 2
GH 4iu/day 5 on and 2 off
75mg of Prop/EQ EOD

Advice please and thanks in advance

Is this your first cycle?
I would suggest arimidex but only use it if you need it estro has alot of good to do with building muscle

look like the stay puff marshmellow man.. no thanks.

Thanks Johnny,

No this is my 6th or 7th cycle in 5 years. This is just the first time I have experienced my fingers and face blowing up. I thought Aromasin dried you up abit...but Arimidex does better?

Alot of people claim arimidex to be the best. When I bloat ill get a pain in my arm pits that sucks

i think if being used during a cycle adex is the choice.. well atleast mine..

Aromasin will get rid of about 85% of the estrogen in your body while adex will only get rid of about half. It all depends on how much estrogen you want floating around in your body.

Since this is the first time it has happened to you, it is very possible to say that GH may be the culprit. Neither prop nor EQ are famous for causing bloat within 2 weeks. Have you used GH before, and/or is this a new brand of GH for you? Edema is common in the hands and feet with GH, especially at the beginning of a cycle.

This IS the first cycle with GH. Will this pass on it's own? I hate to add orals if I don't have to.

Thanks

I do aromatize test easily, that's why I chose prop/eq for this very reason. I have aromasin in stock, what would be a descent dose to rid 50% of estrogen? I know if I wipe it all out, it will kill my sex drive as I understand you need a little estrogen in your system...

Take some A-dex and reduce your GH dose for a bit and then slowly ramp it up.

**Bossman** · 02-22-2009, 05:05 PM

^^^^ Like Marcus said. I bloat on GH also. Starting with 4IU might be a bit much at first. You should get used to it over time.

Hi,

Thanks for all of the responses, I've been traveling. How does ARR's A-Dex taste? I hate the clomid.....

Also, what is the reccomended dose? I assume this will dry me up a bit.

Any OTC diuretics that are worth the money?
