I have no issue with Defy and am very thankful for the service that they've provided me over the past 5 years. I'd be screwed without them. The few minor issues I've had pale in comparison to the problems I've experienced with mainstream healthcare. For example I was getting HCG through my endo...

It has been a while since I went through the T3 treatment. My life and TRT protocol was a mess during that time and I felt awful. The only thing I do know is that the T3 treatment was successful in lowering my RT3 as well as my TSH. (TSH was 2.5ish prior and went down to 1). I got my life...

Gentlemen, Working on getting an appointment with my Endo who's booked out into Feburary. Going to throw together a folder with all of my test numbers and other reference data in hopes of getting a scan of my adrenals. Also, updated the first post with all of my test numbers for DHEAs.

@Guitarman5 I've always had visual snow, but it has gotten a little worse over the past year. I've gotten a noticeable amount of eye floaters over the past year and after looking up blue field entoptic phenomenon I think I have a little bit of that too. I also have tinnitus, and I've read that...

Here's an example of an Adrenal neoplasm causing elevated DHEAs in a female. The mcg/dl is the same unit as ug/dl, so the pre-op elevated numbers are right up there with ours. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7075788/

Guitarman5, do you know what your DHEAs levels were prior to taking the supplement and what is your resting heart rate? Good work on finding the video, I appreciate it. I'll dig into it and try get get a better understanding of the pathways. Please keep us updated on how keto works out for you...

Threads a little old, but want to say that I wouldn't consider TRT with those numbers. I started TRT in 2017 at age 26 with a TT of 240-260. If I could have your numbers naturally then I'd run, not walk away from TRT. Your Vitamin D supplement isn't doing shit. I'd fix that, and add a...

I'm interested to see what others say, but the little bit that I've read on the subject seems to always refer to gels and not creams. I'm sure that there are similarities between the two, but I don't know enough to comment further on that. From what I've read about the gels, a lot of...

Still at 500iu twice a week.

Just an update, month and a half later after switching back to Pregnyl HCG. Honestly I've been feeling great. Better mood, more energy, overall feeling a lot better. Ejaculate volume has increased as has orgasm strength. Almost out of the Pregnyl though and now I see it's backordered. No...

With all due respect, I wouldn't even consider TRT, Clomid or HCG if I had your test levels. I'm 30 but started TRT back when I was 26. My TT was around 260 ng/dL (9 nmol/L). The guys here are correct in that free T is what really matters. I'd want to know what your bloods look like there...

On the topic of "stockpiling" HCG...at one point I had more unconstituted HCG than I knew what to do with. I kept the boxes in gallon zip lock bags and stored them in the fridge. Used them for a couple of years, by the time I was getting to the end of my stash I was using vials that were over a...

I think I'm going to try to put some pressure on my doctors to get answers about my DHEA's levels. If anything comes of it I'll send you a PM, I know you're one of the regulars around here. I feel for you man, IMO brain fog is one of the worse symptoms IMO and the fatigue is definitely linked...

Wow, you've tested yours a lot. I think I've only checked mine while on TRT but I'm going to have to go through my physical records with notes to see if there is any pattern. I do not believe I have ever tested below 600. I'm on Pregnyl at the moment, but that most recent test was when I was on...

Thank you! I look forward to reviewing it tomorrow morning.
