Following. Very interesting.

Does blood work confirm elevated e2? Or are you making an assumption?

So tadafil could potentially help raise ferritin?

Which is a very typical trt dose.

Glad this was bumped. I just got a garmin watch and have set it to start monitoring o2 throughout the night.

When I started out trt 10 yrs ago it was a godsend. Now I can’t sleep. Depressed/flat feeling all the time. I struggle to know if I’m really that depressed or if it’s from lack of sleep. I had a full sleep study, negative for OSA. Not sure what changed or if it’s even trt related but I need...

I to am ok once I get in the gym. I can get though any work out. It’s the evening or night that is the worst.l once I stiffen up a bit. I too live off Tylenol, ibuprofen, and diclofenac. I’ve tried cbd for it’s touted pain relief but it intensifies the pain for me. Like every nerve in my...

I very much relate to this. I’ve put off/ refused surgery for 20 years. Exercise helped for a long time and still does to some extent but more and more I find myself not working out cause of pain, which in turn causes me more pain. Vicious cycle. Sleep is almost non existent cause of pain...

In theory, Lowering TRT dose should also lower EPO?

Have we ever figured out why TRT drives ferritin down?

Vit C raises hgb/hct but not Ferritin. It actually hurts ferritin as it suppresses hepcidin from my understanding.

@realdeal1977 For reference, my Total T at the very best was 471 using clomid or enclomiphene. Last test was 501 without anything. I’ve no idea where my FT sits currently though. No idea why this is happening but if I could find a way to add a couple hundred more points to that I’d be very...

I stopped trt cold turkey 8 months ago after 10ish years. My ferritin was always in the 30s on trt. I used @FDV70 protocol numerous times and had great success increasing ferritin, but it would crash again within a month or so. I just had it tested again after 8 months off trt and it came...
