Due to recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and low ferritin level, I need to get off anastrozole and blood donations. I had been doing IM test 60 mg /3.5 days. Dropped it to 50 mg and still needed anastrozole and blood donations. I am thinking of trying SQ and maybe 25 mg / 2 days...

Going to try and get off TRT. Just started protocol using HCG, Enclomiphene, and Anastrozole. I was just diagnosed this evening with rheumatoid arthritis and the doctor wants to start me on prednisone and methotrexate. Wondering if there are contraindications to using those drugs together...

Hey there, I was looking for reasoning why my MCV was low (74 fl). RBC is high (6.78 M/uL). Wondering if being on HRT was known to shrink your red blood cells while raising RBC's. Saw a post from someone that had similar results on here but didn't read if this was common or why. Thoughts?

Hey Guys, I looked for the answer to this question and didnt see it, so here it goes. I was talking to my medical practitioner and we were talking about my issues with lack of sleep. The person told me that it might be because I inject at night which will cause insomnia. i have never heard...

difficult to tell. Besides my hematocrit, my PSA went up to 5.2 in a very short time and so I was taken off the TRT. then everything went back to normal. I asked to go back on T but a lower dose and the clinic (Defy) said I could not without a letter from the urologist stating it was ok for...

So PSA came back 4.3 and urinalysis was negative. Discontinuing TRT as per protocol and have an appointment with a urologist next Tuesday. We will see where this leads

Thank you Doctor. I just sent an email to your office asking to pass the PSA info on. My PCP withheld it from my lab work to tell me personally.

my PCP who did not prescribe TRT but who ordered the labs talked to the hospital urologist. Urologist told my MD to give me two choices: stop TRT completely and retest in a month, or refer me to urology. going to contact Defy and see what they say. I mentioned that if I stop I will crash and...

My hematocrit is up and I need a phlebo. but was looking for alternatives. I had heard eating grapefruit can lower hematocrit levels due to a citrus bioflavonoid called Naringin in the grapefruit. So my question is has anyone experimented with taking Naringin on its own? I was looking on...

makes perfect sense. thank you

HA! forgot about that. thank you for response

maybe I am overthinking, but I have a question. I am to inject twice a week (every 3 1/2 days, so one in the morning, one at night). I workout in the mornings, so do I inject before the gym or after? I was thinking that since you get a T spike after working out that maybe it was not the...
