    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    Oh 60mg/week. Yes my low E2 theory makes a lot of sense then. That's a super low dose and men get their E2 from testosterone. You may not be providing your body enough testosterone to make E2 from. @Gman86 is saying the same thing. Let us know what your labs say. BTW, I hope your doctor...

    Hi Nelson. I'm not seeing how I can download your book for free. The Amazon link takes you to a page where I can buy it on paperback for $55, but I don't see anywhere to download the book

    Alternatives to Defy’s pharmacies

    I have the option of using Hallendale or Empower pharmacies. Can you try another one or is Empower your only option? I would also talk to your provider at Defy. They can sometimes make accommodations for you so that get more product. They did so for me

    TRT related to Osteoarthritis? Is there life after a Osteoarthritis diagnosis?

    What is your E2 level like? When my E2 gets too low, I notice pain in my knees, fingers and thumb pads. I have to use a lot of testosterone to get my E2 up to 20. Once above 20 those aches go away

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    I tell ya mate. You've got quite the health journey going on here. I've read most of your posts and I'm pretty amazed at all of the different levers you have had to try to manipulate in order to feel good. I'm glad you have been documenting this. It's been interesting to read. I believe...

    Veggies doing more harm than good?

    That's super interesting to me. My E2 is always sub 20 and I have white coat syndrome as well. Once in a while my home measurement systolic gets to 140. I have never tried tying BP to E2 though. What did you do to get your E2 higher?

    ED On TRT. Bloods good on paper

    Hey JA. I'm curious at how you are doing these days with your E2 injection protocol. This is interesting to me, as I also aromatize very little. I got my hands on some E2 cream and was using it when I was experimenting with lowering my testosterone dose. I felt fine on lower T, except for...

    Safety and Efficacy of Enclomiphene Compared to Clomiphene in Men with Low Testosterone

    Neither clomiphene or encomiphene worked for me. I got nasty visual side effects from both and suffered anxiety when I had never had that before I tried those drugs

    First Time User of Trimix, recommended 50 Units! I'm worried

    I don't know anything about tri-mix, but I'd be mighty worried to start with a huge amount. That's not something you would want to go to the hospital for

    Post-cycle therapy is linked to fewer withdrawal symptoms from anabolic steroid use: A survey of 470 AAS users.

    "Conclusion: Without evidence-based withdrawal protocols, men commonly try avoiding post-AAS hypogonadism with PCT, which is illicit, ill-defined, and not recommended. " The conclusion is funny. They just got through telling us how PCT use cuts recovery time in half, yet in the next breath say...

    Gluten Intolerance and GF Diets

    Thank you my friend. This is exactly what I have done. I quit completely after weening off. I found it it was contributing to my diarrhea issues, but is not the only factor. I have less problems now but I'm not completely fixed. I can tolerate about 4oz of coffee a day. You are right, it...
