    Agree with Kelkel about the Tamox being a SERM. It's not an AI, and shouldn't be used as one.

    Me personally, I think the 18 -to-22 range is pretty low, and it might be hard to keep in such a limited range. My best well being is actually in the low to mid 30's. IMO, estrogen gets too much of a bad rap for guys. Like testosterone, it's very much needed in men just the same. Too much is obviously not good, but having a healthy amount in the body can be beneficial. It will be hard to micro manage it with a 4 point spread ... just my .02

    Also, thanks for your kind words in your PDF post. It makes such a huge difference knowing some of these posts actually get through with the younger members (like yourself), and/or a few of the new members too. There were some really "key" guys at this place that helped me get my program on track, 1 being a guy named T-Mos who passed away just shortly after I joined here.

    The members seem to be getting younger and younger all the time here. As you get your own program and experiences dialed in, you could be quite beneficial to the younger guys here going through similar ordeals, who might not relate as well with a lot of us who are quite a bit older. Something to think about ...

    Thanks Vette. Honestly this site surprises me, I never expected the care here to be so great! Great people here that dedicate a great amount of their time to help others. I may be on here hours everyday, but it's mostly for my own selfish reasons. Iv'e been trying to post more and contribute, I just don't feel qualified yet... That said, once I get dialed in I do plan on sharing my experiences in a 'sticky type' post for younger people. Not that i'm an authority on the subject, but I really wish I had more targeted info to go on for my age group. I do plan a sticking around though, it's time I focused on my health and started living.

    Thanks agian,
    Mike

    Hey, when the cute little hairdresser remembers me as the "Salt n Pepper" guy, I know it's time to accept mortality. Geesh ...
