Interesting. Thanks for posting. I have been working in higher reps (with a lower weight), mostly to avoid too much weight on the spine and due to shoulder issues, so nice to know that is a worthwhile option.

Same. Might be the fountain of youth, but it's not TRT, at least not in lab ranges. And the people I hear about who are on higher level doses and only get labs for FT and TT - not so much because of the good advice.

Depends how much fat you have on your leg. If you are lean, yes. If you are heavy, then maybe not.

Could it be from biking?

Not a dumb question. As others have said, use a low dead space syringe/needle. Insulin syringes are usually low dead space. A popular brand is Easytouch. Common needle sizes range from 27 to 29 gauge and which works best is up to you and, IMO, the viscosity of your T, usually determined by...

Thanks for posting. TRT "had no effect on energy or mood." I don't agree with that aspect of it. Pretty far off from my experience unless there are other reasons for my increase in energy and mood due to having changed several things at the same time.

Congrats. That is great. I think the first stages of weight loss can be the hardest because it requires changes to be made, and change habits can be hard to do. As to going on TRT, it gave me more motivation, energy, and even mental will power to be more active and eat better and thus made...

When I was in a similar situation I had several options. There are other pharmacies that may have stock, there are different formulations, such as 100 mg/ml or cream ( my Dr was willing to adjust script), and I can miss some doses without serious harm. I might feel bad for awhile, but for me...

Same thing happened to me at Walgreens awhile back. Took a couple week for them to get in Sun brand T-cyp in 10 ml 100mg/ml.

601 to 800, though I have not tried higher. Sometimes feeling good is good enough.

I agree with this. For me, my dermatologist has his own brand of face cleanser so cutting out soap has been a big help. For me, spicy food, coke, certain sun screens, wind and heat are triggers. It has been good lately though.

I would give it many more injections before you make any changes or make a final decision. My rosacia is better now that I am on TRT. Not saying it is not the cause, just get some more data points.

cannabis? - may be better than Valium or Trazadobe.

You can get high iron for many reasons. Some people (me) have a gene pair that cause them to absorb too much iron from the digestive track, some people consume too much iron for a long period of time from supplements and protein powders, some people get it from the environment (cooking, water...

Dude, out of curiosity, what is your weekly T dose and your total and free T?

Thanks for posting. Interesting. Even at .8 grams protein per kg, for me that would be 76 grams of protein per day. That is about 12 eggs per day. Even the low protein group is still eating a good bit of protein.

Have you have your ferritin checked? If not, it is an easy and cheap blood test. My joints and muscles ached terribly due to high iron.

You should start taking steps to lose weight today. Don't make TRT or labs a prerequisite. Start eating less today. Start eating healthy today. Start exercising today. You should also figure out why you are overweight? IMO, that is first priority.

How old are you?

80 to 120 is most common. I think 80 to 100 is best, but everyone is a bit different. IMO, issues that people complain of most often, such as fighting E2 and low Ferritin, are due to too high of a T dose.

This is unrelated except that it relates to sleep. I have been sleeping great lately, which is not normal. I think having the hormones is balance really helps, but I have also been propping up with 4 pillows at night. My wife said I had been snoring and waking up with a start through out the...

I agree with what everyone has posted. As coastwatcher said, need more info about your protocol. How much do you inject, of what, how often. How long have you been on the protocol before you started feeling this way. What did you drop down to for T dose? How much ANstrozole did you take...

I agree with this. Most people call it racing mind once awake that prevents a return to sleep. People often wake up or toss and turn due to a variety of reasons but the key is to be able to go back to sleep. Stress is certainly a factor that can prevent a return to sleep but for people with...

Thanks for posting.

Sixhouse, I hope you find what ails you. Trial and error and process of elimination are valid methods to solve problems. For many people TRT helps but you now know that the issues you are having are not TRT related and you can check that off your list. That is one positive to be taken from...

Interesting. Low T and Low E (even though probably wrong test). Thinking about the ratio that Nelson mentioned. Total T: 291 (264-916) free T: 9 (9.3-26.5) estradiol: 6.4 (7.6-42) Low Atlien - are your only symptoms feeling anxious and depressed? For these issues, it seems like some...

Dr. - Every 6 months now but I spot check values to keep an eye on E2, which Dr. does not check.

I think for some people that is to be expected. It is not normal to stick a needle in your body and in response your body can have a reaction of pulling blood from the extremities causing what you describe. Some people even pass out or faint. As you do it more and more you will get accustomed...

You know way more about all of this than me so I can not give advice or offer up anything you don't already know. Question though, given your Free T is off the charts, you are having symptoms, and your free estrogen is high, what is your rational for not dropping your dose by a good bit, maybe...

I don't know much about CSR, but agree with this statement. If you are at 1000 in the trough, you are outside normal range.

I am impressed you can take 120mg sudafed and then fall asleep. Anything over 30 mg for me and I feel like I am on speed.
