Sorry - Correction - *What could be contributing to **higher SHBG levels...

I recently was able to view lab results from 2018 to present day. Every time I have had lab work done (hormone panel) my SHBG is always higher than it should be. The higher than normal value presented even before I tried self prescribed TRT. 2018 (prior to testosterone) - Testosterone 26.9...

While on a testosterone cycle...I developed dermatographia and what appears to be psoriasis or eczema...the dermatographia has subsided a bit since i stopped (nearly a year ago) but the itching dry skin continues to rear it's ugly head every now and then....

So I have a doctors app next week. I'm going to ask for some lab work. For the last several months I have had very diminished libido. I have mentioned this in previous posts - I dabbled with self prescribing testosterone. My last injection was nearly a year ago (Feb 2022). I kept it on the low...

I have a Yohimbine question. The product I have are powder filled capsules with 500mg yohimbine. I copied the ingredient label... Yohimbe (Pausinystalia yohimbe) (bark) (from 125 mg of 4:1 Extract) 500 mg My question is how much active ingredient is in the capsule? 500mg seems way too high...

I have a few bottles of piping rock stuff...main ingredient is 500mg Yohimbine...I find the yohimbine hit or miss and it can cause ++anxiety. Some people report that doses of 20-40mg are effective. It does create a stir down there..lol...but sometimes the anxiousness will steal the moment...

Well if you find it...let me know :)

There's a store in my town..sells the otc pills with names like Rhino...Porn star...etc...Health Canada keeps pulling them but they always come back under a different name...I do wish a person could find an actual herb than was effective but it seems big pharma will never let that happen

Well now I'm on a mission lol....I remember being in Cuba one time at an all inclusive...a staff member was serving chili at the beach bar...when he filled up my bowl he said "special ingredient will keep your woman happy tonight"...he was right lol...there are so many herbs out there that are...

I'm not sure exactly, but within a few weeks. I haven't had any episodes since.

What form and dosage?

I developed GERD as well while trying TRT. To the point I had a full cardio workup. Everything came back fine. Shortly after I stopped the test the GERD symptoms completely disappeared....

I know...makes it difficult to find help

I have posted on this board in the past regarding TRT and libido. I had briefly dabbled with self prescribed TRT a few years back. It was initially amazing (honeymoon) with regards to energy and libido but that quickly paled in the face of the negative sides I experienced. I ultimately stopped...

Just as a (much late) follow up...i did have blood work done and the results showed that my cholesterol levels dropped back to normal, however my doc did not order any sex hormone lab work :(....the whole libido thing is still kicking around...it waxes and wanes but more so than not it is quite...
