OP, has a doctor given you a formal diagnosis of hemochromatosis? If so, did they say the cause?

Certainly not. Better to get a new one. The reason I asked was that it may have looked like fraud but really been RX. When I get charged, the charge appears as a different company and a different product. There is also usually a 1$ charge I think. So it looked like fraud when I saw it at...

Interesting. I have used visa twice, no issues. Did your CC company give details on the compromise? Some banks will treat a overseas charge with no signature as a compromise. My bank send me a notice/alert when I used RX, but the charge goes through.

Checkdis. My only comment is that I was having similar bladder issues last year. Up in the night to go, strong urge to go and had to be right now, no waiting, and frequent urination. Sucked. All of those symptoms are gone now. I don't know what caused it to go away, but I did the following...

JohnJonhson, I think you are on the right track by reducing your dose but I agree with others, your change is too small. It is insignificant and any change you detect may or may not be from your change in dose. Even your blood work numbers will vary for other reasons.

I thought that too re Atkins, although I am told it is different. I don't advocate a particular diet because everyone is different but I never understood what was occurring in the body with a very low carb diet.

I don't know much about this web site, but I found the article regarding the Keto Diet interesting. I know it is popular right now. The keto diet, explained

The voters did that, not the government. The governments involvement with the medical and recreational implementation has been a mess. But hey, have some bourbon and a cig, that won't hurt you.

My Doctor went on about this during our last visit. He is not happy - at all. Said I may have to visit his office for a paper prescription every refill and was unsure how the pharmacies would handle the change - telling me to be prepared for more hassle. He said he unloaded on a Board member...

Some interesting info on Vitamin C in the link below including second page. Vince, you take alot. There was a study that suggested that the body can only absorb or use so much per day. The vit C in the blood booster is not for supplementing, just to aid absorption in the stomach and small...

I was not very constructive. Since your Dr said he was willing to adjust, another option is to ask him if you can start slow. Most Dr are ok with starting with less. Maybe he/you would go with 50 mg per week, with weekly shots as a starting point. Not perfect but a compromise starting point...

Everyday there are these posts detailing terrible doctor care. Makes me appreciate my Dr. I complained of the same thing and after one blood draw and tests he identified everything - and my T was higher than yours. Cfarone - Dr are put on a pedestal and really looked up to by society. There...

Hi all. Can I get some advice? Thanks for posting Will. I was 'talking to a guy' and he commented that there is some misleading labeling on whey protein in that it may say whey protein isolates (WPI) on the front but there may also be non-isolates in there also or the isolate may not really...

Does anyone have more info on the scarring. I was reading another thread and started wondering. I hear and read about scarring from repeated injections but I don't really know what that means. I understand a scar in my skin and have a few, but my scars are from big cuts/hits and not a tiny...

Have other DIM brands had an effect for you? So, was it just the Smoky Mountain brand or DIM in general? Thanks.

Be sure to read the DIM content per capsule. Some have very little DIM in relation to daily recommended amount or compared to other brands.

I always look at who funded the study. In this case, it appears to be Danish Government and The EU. After all the lies about cannabis from the U.S. government, I am suspect about government funded research, although I have no reason to suspect bias from the funding from this study.

I agree with Madman and Nashtide. I have more complex carbs on work out days and if I have not worked out for a few days, I cut back the calories and carbs. The best fat loss I had was working out in the morning fasted. Not sure I made great muscle gains during that period but I lost fat...

I think if you package it right there is a good chance it will get there. There is a huge amount of drugs that are shipped by mail and while some get caught many don't. The Silk Road web site often shipped by mail. Plus, you are shipping sealed vials. Small, no smell and this may not be...

You can bump up the length as needed. I don't inject in glute so I don't know. Probably depends on body fat. I inject in thigh. I divide each thigh into an upper area, mid area, and lower area and rotate between thighs. I like the thigh because it is very easy to see the muscle locations...

Let us know what they say about your ferritin. Seems pretty low at 15.

I have found injections every 3 days and a 28 G 1/2 inch needle , 1ml syringe from Easy Touch ideal for me right now. Works for IM or SQ injections, but I am doing IM lately.

I have done the double red and the regular whole blood. I recommend whole blood donations over double red. Over time it is the same effect but the double red really tired me out for several days. I did not have that problem with whole blood and could work out the next day. If you do a double...

I have been trying the 5 mg dose daily on and off- tried it initially for working out to see if it had an effect. I do think it helps. Obviously it is also easier to get an erection but I also notice I am less likely to have to get up in the night to go to the bathroom and I have to pee less...

Good advice.

That is the same machine at my gym, but there are different models. I suggest taking a reading once per week and figuring out what it says your BF percentage is and then tracking it over time. It is a great tool to use to see if you are really putting on fat and if your weight gain is muscle...

I don't think there is a firm consensus on E2 values or many studies. Many people say E2 should be in the 20's but another theory is that the E2 value should be linked to T in a ratio such that as T rises so too will E2 and this is ok and even best. My T is about 670 and my E2 was 36 and I...

OP, you are to that age where diet and exercise matter. Regardless of T, IMO, improving diet and exercise is going to be necessary for you to feel better.

Will makes an important distinction. For me, loss of libido means I am not interested in sex with anyone and even looking at a picture of a naked woman is not arousing. That is different than not wanting to have sex with a particular person, such as your wife. Even when I was young, some...

Hey feelinglost. Do you have ability to test your body fat? I find that a good indicator, along with weight, of progress over time. Sometimes my eyes deceive me and I think I should be bigger or I am not gaining, but I have noticed that over time my weight has gone up and my body fat has...

My only comment to bring to the discussion is sleep quality. I have read, been told by others, and even personally noticed, that sleep amount and quality can affect libido. Pre-TRT my libido was very low and it has improved with TRT but still swings about, which I think is due to sleep and...
