    Heart palpitations at night

    This happened to me when I was under stress that I did not even recognize. Took 3 beers to get to sleep, but I'd wake up 3 hours later with anxiety. Also started taking lorazepam, but abandoned that when I learned more about it. So for me, learning to manage my stress was the answer. Stress...

    Skip to 1:14 where someone asks Rouzier about problems with elevated DHT. Dr. Saya mentioned a connection between elevated DHT and BPH in that thread on managing estradiol.

    As an aside, I just noticed in his email signature the letters "MD" after his name. May I refer to him as Dr now? lol

    I will try and fit in a single question for you, but I won't be asking him to watch a video. I only have 30-mins, and he tends to give long, detailed answers. So, what would be your question?

    Yeah, I know who he is. If a person earns a PhD, and goes by "Dr", then he's not thoughtful? A tad bizarre. Anyway, I am not consulting Howell to manage my hormones. I want an academic who is up on this stuff to give me his take on what we've been discussing here. I'm confident he'll be up...

    I remember this mega-thread. I'll revisit it. More reason I think to consult Dr. Howell.

    Newbie confused by prescription, help please

    I didn't know they offered free consults. With all the info you just gave, I could have probably done without the consult with Dr. Howell. Oh well, it's already paid for... I did send an email to Dr. Rouzier expressing my concern about starting out on 400mg daily. His response was...

    To be clear, I did not burn my bridges with the nurse. I simply requested more time to research HRT.

    RobRoy, Thanks for all the info. Exactly what I was hoping for. readalot has posted a lot of info, too, for which I am grateful. Now, I have scheduled a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Scott Howell next week. He will have all the lab info, email info from the nurse,etc. I think I've...

    I already dumped her. Now, I would really like to know if Rouzier or Nichols ever prescribe similar dosing. Love to hear directly from their patients.

    Newbie confused by prescription, help please

    I emailed the nurse about the massive dose she was prescribing. This was her response: " Actually that is not a massive amount of testosterone to optimize levels. I actually start low and go up when we do the 6 week follow up. But if you would feel more comfortable even starting lower you can...

    Well, I emailed the nurse who wrote the prescription. She stated that I would be applying 200mg in the morning, 200mg at night. 400mg, total for the day. Her words exactly. I'm stunned. Thanks, Mark.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
