    Concerned over the rise in estradiol

    My SHBG was 15.1 in JAn 2018, I will be doing a full blood work in the next week, which is covered under my insurance. I did these tests because the lab Dr. uses wont do estradiol and Test the way it should be so I paid out of pocket to get these done.

    Concerned over the rise in estradiol

    I have tried both with negative results, Tri mix did nothing for me (4x). I may be one of those that needs a small AI. I come here to see what the experts think and give me questions for the Doc.

    $10 Sale on Syringes

    I also ordered 2 packs of 27 ga. and got 28ga. Guess it's hard to hire good help that can read an order sheet. Stuff like this is my pet peeve, I get more free meals because I bitch when the hired help can't get orders right. I'm not looking forward to 200 bent sticks in my hard as leather ass...

If you're in a hurry to get in,I see no reason why you would hesitate talking with a skilled RN, she...

    Should I Stop Testosterone Before Surgery?

    Thanks guys! I will discuss this with my surgeon and Defy who are my TRT doctors. I just needed some insight so I wasn't accused of playing doctor. Once I get back home, I am not one for taking the opiates they give me, so things are going to be a bit dicey as I muscle through the pain for a...
