OUCH!!! Hope you get some relief soon. I had a pretty mild case as far as shingles goes and it was not something I would like to repeat. Your case is WAY worse than mine.

I have never heard of this. Can you describe what the pain is like? All over your body or just where the shingles sore was? Do you get it all the time or just certain times of the day? How long did your shingles case last? I'm guessing the pain must be pretty severe if you were taking...

Do I have this right. You ditched the cream completely and now are doing 15mg/day of test propionate?

Good luck. I enjoy having the letter sent to me. It reminds me to check into the forum twice a week. Otherwise I tend to forget.

This is a very tough situation. God bless you for sucking it up and taking care of her in her last years.

What purpose is the 50mg melatonin serving you?

Do I understand correctly, you crashed your E2 sometime in the past. You have now stopped doing whatever you were doing that caused it to crash. But your levels have still not recovered? How long ago did you stop crashing it? Or is it that your E2 was low the whole time you were on TRT...

Unfortunately berberine gives me the same loose guts as does metformin. About your experience with doctors... It's interesting with people like you who are in good shape. I feel like many doctors when confronted with unusual symptoms like yours can easily whip out some tried and true...

I can't help but be impressed with all of the different meds that you've cycled through to get to the root of your issues. I'm also jealous of your A1C. Even when I was doing very low carb, the lowest I got down to was 5.5. And I am a very lean person, clocking in at 8.8% body fat on one of...

I am in Alabama. What doc did you see and where is he at? I saw Dr. Douglass Turnbull in Foley. He is not a Center of Excellence provider. But he did tell me that he has done 200 of the procedures and had good results. EDIT: Interesting that you saw improved sexual performance as well. I...

That's too bad your source fell through. I like hydrocortisone, but don't like how it metabolizes so fast. This aspiring physician Hormetheus – Medium used Acetate with good results. I wish I was able to try it out. EDIT: I just looked at Hormetheus' blog. It is not rendering properly for...

Is your doctor scripting you for cortisone acetate?

I am happy for my sisters in the UK. I would hope that one day HRT for men would be available over the counter. I'll not be holding my breath waiting though.

I had Urolift done in April 2022. Small improvement in ability to urinate. My goal in getting Urolift was to be able to get off of Flomax. I have not been able to do so. I did see a few months of improvement in ease of orgasm. But that has since faded. I had met all of my insurance...

That's a pretty hefty dose. Have you tried any smaller amounts?

It was not so tricky. The great thing about cream is that your body processes through it very quickly. I could tell whether a cream dosage change was good or bad within a week. This let me cycle through a lot of different dosing schemes pretty quickly. As opposed to cypionate where I would...

Yes it was trial and error. Like many of us here I started out with too high of a dose for the cream and the injections. I also have tried using lower doses, but I ran into low E2 symptoms. I have also tried the 2x/day route. I found that using twice a day interfered with my sleep. I did...

Impressive results. Although nausea and diarrhea would probably make anyone lose weight

FWIW I also had pretty good results on cream, but didn't feel 100%. I ended up feeling better by using cream and T Cypionate simultaneously. I now take 75mg of cream per day (1.5 clicks) as well as injecting a small amount (20mg) of cypionate 2x/week. The combination method has me feeling...

Yes, I love these stories. The cat and mouse games that the athletes play against the sport regulators are endlessly fascinating. Do you have any ideas on what benefit a female 5K runner would get from using nandralone? Muscle repair, bone repair?

Who did your Holep?

I have been on TRT for 6 years. I just had a Urolift 4 months ago. I had been on Flomax and Cialis for 4 years. I was under anesthesia for the procedure. Recovery was uncomfortable. It felt like my bladder was full all the time for a good week and I had to pee every hour while awake. I was...

Amen to that. It is very impressive to see this kind of out of the box thinking. The conventional thinking is one of the cornerstone ideas in TRT. That if you have high SHBG you are going to need a higher dose of testosterone to overcome the SHBG in order to achieve a therapeutic level of...

I don't know if you will know the answer to my question but I'm going to ask anyway. It wasn't so long ago that it was conventional wisdom that SHBG regulated Free T. More SHBG = less Free T for any given dose of exogenous testosterone. Now the current thinking is that SHBG is not that...

Now that you mention it, i don't really know. I had always thought that .15ml = 150 IU. But now that you ask I can't say for sure

There are scads of BP meds out there. You are on an angiotensin receptor blocker - ARB. Just try another ARB. Telmisartan, Losartan, etc. If those give you problems you can try an ACE inhibitor, which works through a different mechanism. Good luck. I tried 8 different kinds of BP meds...

That is an interesting story. You are the only person I've ever "known" that had bipolar. What does it feel like when you are having a manic phase? I have used Ambien for many years for sleep issues. Did you try that med? It comes with its own set of issues, but the withdrawal is not nearly...

1.5 clicks of cream to the scrotum every day (IIRC 1 click = 50mg test) 20 mg cypionate 2X/week .15 ml HCG 2X/week

If you look at the webpage it has links to some studies that show some SARM is helpful for BPH. It wasn't clear to me whether the RAD-140 is the same compound as what was presented in the studies though.

Thank you my friend. My worst symptom was atomic diarrhea. I had the shits for 3-4 days. It was very unpleasant. The other symptoms were no fun. But manageable. I have seen the Zalenko protocol. The one I'm going to use is similar. FLCCC Alliance COVID Early Treatment Protocol. They...

I do both cream and injections and I use Defy. It was one of Defy's PA's that suggested cream to me. I often have low or lowish E2 in relation to my testosterone levels. She suggested that the cream might aromatize better and give me better E2 levels without having to increase my T levels...
