    Arosamin,Arimidex or ??

    Hey Guys, im needing some advice here. I have been fighting facial swelling for a few weeks here.The rest of my body has no swelling whatsoever, quite the opposite actually.I am 51 years old. My current gear is Test Sust at 125mg per week, basically a TRT doseage for about the last 6 months and HGH dosed at 2 i.u. for 5 on 2 off for about 4 months. I have tried a few diuretics with no success, those being Dandelion root and Expel with absolutely no results. Seems the general consensus from my research is that the GH is the likely culprit. I am done with the GH til I get this under control. For all I know its the Test causing it, real hard to diagnose this stuff as we are all different. I have been reading up on Arimidex and Arosamin and they are mentioned frequently in swelling discussions. Am I on the right track or missing something here?

    Aromasin and Arimidex are both used to fight water retention. Another one is Femara.

    At such a low dosage of test I think anyone of them or a SERM like Nolv will work...

    They will both shut the estrogen issue down...

    Many have sexual sides with Letro, some have sexual (penis got killed cause estrogen levels are too low) issues with aromasin , I seen little to no person(s) have sexual sides with .25mg of adex...

    Doing some more reading on this and seeing that Letro is mentioned often and does (some say) a better job. Opinions?

    if it's water retension due to estrogen then letro is a little overkill(it block 98% of estrogen formation, basically everything), arimidex or aromasin would work for that

    but that's assuming it's estrogen related, get bloodwork and see what your test and estrogen levels are

    also take into account that high sodium intake during cycles make you into a water boy....

    What does your diet look like?

    Thanks Guys, low to no sodium intake, very clean diet.Lots of chicken, steak, fresh veggies and fruit, and lots of protein. Can a heavy intake of protein produce swelling?

    Generally not... 125mg test a week shouldnt be doing it either...


    Have you had a full blood work done lately?

    Through in the .25mg dex at it and your estrogen issue will be gone... If you are still having problems then its some other problem...

    Is the .25 Liquidex on a ED basis or EOD? I dont want to create more problems than i solve. So I understand correct, I have no worries with the Liquidex in these dosages? Thanks.
