Fair question, and no offence taken. The whole point of being here is to discuss and learn. Ignoring the overwhelming desire to feel normal again (which I did in so far as it's possible for a human to do), the data-driven factors to try TRT were 1) my LH level which is getting close to double...

First rodeo for me, so I'm following Dr. Saya's instructions to the letter for the first several months until labs and follow-up. Day 2 was also good, and the "feel good" window roughly mimicked day 1. My GF would testify that my libido was better than it has been. Also did a bunch of projects...

Further update: Day 5 without PPIs and the Acid Soothe product is still keeping my reflux / heartburn under control. Nervous what will happen when/if I hit the rebound phase, but for now I'm feeling pretty good about the prospects of getting off them completely. I was expecting to have to step...
