What are the symptoms of hyperlipidemia? - Excel Male Men's Health Forum

Over the last few months I have been getting symptoms similar to a hangover: Dehydration (feeling thirsty all the time, especially on waking up in the morning), Tinnitus, increasing myopia, mild (background) headaches, some dizziness and short-term memory loss. The tinnitus I have had for...

Have you ever used Finasteride?

Hi Vince and thanks for the reply. I have not used Finasteride for fear of sexual sides. I have all my hair but do have some BPH

I have heard Dr. Rob Kominiarek talk about how he has had patients complain of memory loss on TRT and how it was the result of inhibition of LH which led to a pregnenolone deficiency and how a small percentage of men are affected by this decrease in pregnenolone.

I heard him talkming about this and have tried taking Pregnenolone up to 300mg a day but it had little, if any, affect on me - it did make me less likely to sleep well at night

Really glad you brought up this topic. I have experienced the same short term memory issues with TRT. Adding in HCG is the only thing that has helped me.

Do you hCG completely restore your memory loss?

By and large yes.

Using HCG too but not all the time. I quit using AI’s per the same recommendations to stop fromt he docs above.

AIs definitely decrease my cognitive function. I try to minimize my usage of them as much as possible.

Have u donated blood while on TRT?

My first guess would of also been to use pregnenolone btw. Stinks it had no effect. I also suffer from some memory loss, and pretty bad brain fog. Have had it before HRT tho. It was the main initial symptom that made me look into HRT.

The two things I’m looking into currently is iron overload/ toxicity, and iodine supplementation

PREGNENOLONE, check levels first and start a slow released trial

By and large yes.

I am 7 weeks in, was doing 100mg/wk, 2-3 pins, changing to a lower dose, 60-80mg/wk as I am getting a little anxiety and poor sleep. I will be adding HCG next week, what is the recommended starting dosage? I was thinking 200iu 2X/wk.

There would be nothing wrong with that dosing protocol. I personally do 150 iu EOD. Starting low and going slow is always the best method.

I don't remember.

Okay, on a more serious note, Testosterone makes my brain sharper, not foggier. However, AI's and anti estrogens do the opposite for me. I try to take as little tamoxifen as possible, to minimize confusion and forgetfulness.

I hear a supplement called "phosphatidylserine" is supposed to be good for memory...
I have not tried it, I use Acetyl L-carnatine... seems to help some...

I’ve used it for that purpose. It made me sleepy during the day.

PREGNENOLONE, check levels first and start a slow released trial

I can't seem to get a lab test for Pregnenolone (Australia). Would it be enough to just check DHEA levels? Or maybe DHEA and progesterone, or would this not be an indicator of Pregnenolone?
