Do you actually need an AI? I got horrible joint issues on 6.25 x 2 a week aromasin. In my experience that dose barely lowered my E2 measurements but gave me a lot of joint symptoms. I couldn't believe how night and day it was when I stopped taking it.

Hey Guys I'm looking for some advice on training. I'm 32 and I've been going to the gym for the last 10-15 years, although not always very consistently. I feel like I've made very minimal progress in this time at all. I've always been skinny but had a high body fat percentage and store fat...

Hi Timk interesting. I was on a very low dose of aromasin, but went off it 6 months ago and feel much better.

Ratbag thanks for the reply. Can you expand on the FT3, what is the optimal range? Is there anything I should look into further? Sensitive E2 test isn't available in most of the world unfortunately. I currently dose twice per week. Couldn't see myself doing it any more often to be honest, it's...

Update: Looking back at this post now I must have been pretty stressed and anxious when I wrote it, been feeling much better about most of it lately. Biggest issues from TRT currently are body acne and skin issues. I have attached some recent bloodwork. I inject Test / HCG twice a week. Labs...

I tried most OTC remedies listed in the threads here, nothing really had any affect on body acne at all. Selsun blue/gold shampoo, Nizoral, Vitamin D etc. I tried acne.org regimen too but it just irritated my skin further. Cutting out milk/gluten and generally eating healthy. I didn't go far as...

I've been on TRT for 12 months and slowly but surely noticing more side effects over the last few months. I'm unsure if they are all from TRT or I am just more aware of them. Currently on 62.5mg Test E and 300mcg Hcg x 2 per week. (125mg Test E + 600mcg HCG total per week) Now one or two of...

Yes I gather Dr's love their long harpoons for IM injections :) Good news, I took some prednisolone and Ibuprofen last night and thankfully I've woken up today and the lump is 75% gone along with most of the pain /redness. It's still a little sensitive but I probably wouldn't notice it if it...

@feeelinglost I have been injecting at about 45 degrees

Went to the Doc, she wasn't 100% sure but said it looks like cellulitis and gave me some prednisolone to stop the inflammation and advised to come back and start a course of antibiotics in a few days if it gets worse. She wasn't sure but thought it could possibly be from using a short needle...

I have a small, half-golf ball sized lump that just appeared on my outer glute 3 days after an injection. It's about 1/2 inch below the injection site, but not directly over it. The area is warm to touch and slightly red. It's sore to touch or sore if I stretch my glute, but it's not overly...

Good luck Loki. Hopefully you are over the worst of it - but valium is a very long acting Benzo and can often take a week or more to leave your system. You may not get any withdrawals symptoms that are too bad though. I still get withdrawal symptoms 4.5 months off benzos.. so don't be surprised...

Hi Loki, I recently came off 8mgs of Klonopin after 4 years of daily use. I tapered down gradually off over 4 months, and switched to diazepam for the final part of the taper. Going from 1.25mg to 0mg may not be as bad as you think. In my experience it was the same as going from 3mg -> 2mg...

I recently checked some bloodwork from a private lab here in Australia. I asked if their E2 LCMS was the same as a 'Sensitive E2' test that is available in the USA, and was told it is the same. The labwork came back and just lists it as 'Oestradiol LCMS' The test can be found on this page...

Have been on TRT about 8 months, last 2 months I started getting night sweats. I'll wake up 1-2 times most nights covered in sweat. It started not long after returning to Australia, and is winter here. Was in a tropical country previous and experienced it. Can this be caused by TRT? not sure...
