Thank you

Care to share what those other tricks are?

My doc retired and my quest for a new one has led me no where. If anyone knows of a good trt doctor in the Coeur d' alane, Idaho or Spokane, Washington area please let me know. I may end up going the telemedicine route as a last resort so if anyone has any suggestions with one of them, also let...

Not to hijack but my body produces red blood cells like crazy. So is FT what your body responds to when producing red blood cells or is it TT? My SHBG is around 50 so I need to drive my TT up around 1000 to get even a mid range FT. Then my RBC goes into overdrive. Pretty frustrating.

Any suggestions on what to do for those of us that feel like crap when our hct is elevated?

When my HCT gets into the low 50's, I get winded very easily. After I donate, I'm back to normal.

I for one would love to see more discussions and videos about neurotransmitters

I have tried compounded cream at various dosages from 50 to 300mg per day along with varying the timing for the last 8 months or so. Its never really worked for me. Overall, I would say that I've felt worse. Seriously thinking about going back to injections. Maybe your initial dose was too high...

Have you had good luck with them?

I did have my cortisol tested when I initially started TRT. It was very high, especially in the evening. If I remember correctly, it actually increased as the day went on. Basically the opposite of what its supposed to. I had just changed positions at work where I was on shift work for a few...

Could you tell me what you mean by omitting Free T3?

Ive tried L-tyrosine, and Macuna pruriens. No luck but maybe I need to research dosages of each of these before I write them off. I need to look into boosting serotonin levels. I guess its worth a try. Thanks

The only thyroid labs I have are over a year old. I have labs in a few weeks and I'm going to ask to get my thyroid levels checked again. My last labs were: T4, free: 1.34 (.82-1.77) TSH: 0.981 (.450-4.50) Thyroid Peroxidase: 11 (0-34) Triiodothronine Free: 3.3 (2.0-4.4) Reverse T3 16.7 (9.4-24.4)

So I've been on TRT a few years. Tried injections, creams, HCG, AI's, DHEA, pregnenalone, and various combination of them all. I never really found the silver bullet I was looking for. By all accounts, my hormones are at optimal levels but my libido is very low and erections are so so with...

Agreed. I was running and doing sled drags from last spring up until October or so when I herniated disk. I'm dealing with that and SI joint issues that are being very stubborn but hopefully I can get back to it soon.
