Been a while since posting. I have just about given up on trt. I could drink it and it would not work. Numbers increase but no benefits at all. I think my last endo appt I figured out something. Along with studying. But please correct me if I am off. I am no text book case. I have no...

I have found a product when I did injections called curacerm. Has a lot of lido caine in it. Put on 5 mins before shot and then massage. It makes a big difference.

So, if I divide my total test, 1300 last check. Estradiol was 75 on the sensitive test. What numbers do I use to determine if I am to high on E2. Sure seems like it.

I wonder if people like me who are on replacement hormones like dexamethasone use up t faster. I seem to metabolize all meds fast.

Not to advertise on here, but I have developed a natural salve that contains corn oil from fermentation of bourbon whiskey. Among a lot of things, beard salve etc, I have found it works on subq injection sites if you rub it right on and massage a bit. I too at times and mainly hcg causes a...

Nelson, I know I have insulin issues, and I had read that metformin will raise sbgh, but the dr say my kidney numbers are not good enough to take it. And my diabetes comes and goes. In the last year, I have been on and off insulin for probably 6 times. I have trouble stabilizing my phosphorus...

I think mine is related to my kidney disease. Fanconi syndrome. If my phosphorus levels in particular get low, my blood sugar sky rockets, I have empty sella, so thyroid is a problem, I make no cortisol and have to replace it with dexamethasone. I have rickets from undiagnosed fanconi for so...

I got new blood work in today. Waiting to here what dr says, but just how does low shbg indicate and how does it effect you? I have always had trouble with feeling my best despite trt, but I have several health issues. My result was 8.9, range was 10-57 nmol/ml. Also, cant get my dhea up...

You may be right on the money. I use APS, but never asked them about buying in bigger sizes. The dhea could be some of it you think? I have taken dhea in pill before and I do not absorb it well. And having adrenal insufficientcy, dhea as it seems to be as important as cortisol which I replace as...

Nuvigil not uncivil.

I have tried both. Modafanil works great, dr tried me on uncivil and I had no effect from it at all.

Hello all. after taking the shots for several years, and having to come off last summer because of stupid doctors during a months longs hospital stay, I decided when I started trt again, to try the 20 percent compounded cream. I began to really feel like I was on trt. My hair went back to...

When did you have the last pit gland MRI? Defy medical. I would reach out to them as they will certainly make sure everything is right before starting anything. Oh my twenties and early 30 sucked. And I am better, but the other issues caused by empty sella still try and keep me down.

I could not say better things about them. I went through hell before switching to them. Responsive, good pricing, honest, the whole bit.

I use lipo c, mag sulfate, and just started tri amino, so I pin everyday and have for a while, it does not hurt, and I find the benefits worth it. I know I do better with t cream everyday, but it takes a lot more cream than is practice, so I switched back to sub q twice a week, I may consider...
