    Another option might be to drop your T dose. It will keep your T in range (trough and peak) and drop your Hemocrit and E2.

    How much protein?

    Looking at this another way, the 1.6 g/kg/day of protein would put me at about 150 grams of protein per day. In today's world not that easy (seem like we are carb heavy today), but when I was growing up, we ate much more meat (like meat / eggs with every meal, jerky/nuts snacks). So for me I...

    lower your calories, increase your cardio/calorie burn rate. I also like sit-up or ab work outs to tone up the stomach. Part of it is fat and part of it is sag.

    Anxiety Disorder: How Prevalent an Illness?

    I agree. There is great advice given on this forum regarding what to do, or what test to run, or that they they are fine and not to worry, but they don't give it up. Maybe a sticky (like we need another) that helps them understand that they are displaying possible IAD. Sometimes it does help...

    What's my best bet for lactose free protein powder?

    +1 That is what I mix with the egg protein powder. The main downside to the Orgain is it has a lot of 'gum' that makes it thick, a bit too much for me.

    Anxiety Disorder: How Prevalent an Illness?

    Sounds like another name for hypochondria. I wonder why they renamed it? Maybe they want to call everything a disorder to keep it uniform. To me, it does not sound like anxiety at all. It sounds more like the people believe they have an illness when they don't, or that they are sicker than...

    What's my best bet for lactose free protein powder?

    Really? I have this at home and I can not use it because the taste is so bad. Everyone is different I guess. It looked good on paper but the taste . . .

    Low Iron Situation

    Steve, watch how much Vit. C you take or start slow. It can cause diarrhea for some at high doses. Also, it is my understanding that for the vitamin C (acidic drink/food/supplement) to increase iron absorption in your digestive track, it should be taken with the meal. I agree with others...

    What's my best bet for lactose free protein powder?

    I like egg protein powder - many sources. I also use plant based protein, usually a combination of pea and rice. I usually mix the egg and plant based - one scoop of each. Keep an eye on the amino profiles. The plant based stuff can create a large amount of stinky gas, so be aware - it is...

    Ceebis (Tadalafil) to combat performance anxiety. 25yr male.

    Millions of people take it. Don't worry so much. Start with a small dose and see how it goes - spend some time on google. It is not recreationally if you are taking it to have sex. That is what it is used for. I think it is in your head and I think it would work good for you since your...

    Low MCV and MCH, High RBC and RDW

    I am not a Dr or an expert on anemia, but your MCV and MCH are just out or range. These indicate that your RBC size is a bit smaller than average and that the hemoglobin concentration in a RCB is a bit low. But, you have more RBC than average since your RBC count is high and your iron numbers...

    The Big Vitamin D Mistake.

    Thanks for posting. Most people i know supplement with Vit D. because I was low. Finland may be at the extreme for lack of sun but even in sunny environments people don't get 'out' much so need to supplement. I was taking 2000 and still on the low end so I bumped it up to 4000. Taking...

    My journey with TRT

    Why do most endos and GP doctors start out at one injection every 2 weeks. They are not dumb or intentionally trying to not help. Is there some standard protocol that they follow or is it from the drug companies instructions or is that what they were taught in med school? OP, my Dr started...

    6 weeks in and not feeling better

    Off topic, but I agree with this. Very good point. I was right at the bottom of the low range or just below - could have gone either way, and Dr said that I will not feel good at that number even if 'just' in range.

    Injection Frequency

    I am at E3D and it is a bit of a pain because the day changes every week. I have to have a reminder on my calendar pop up to help with the days and some mornings/days are not very convenient. I like the idea of a fixed schedule at times/days that work best for me and that over time I will...

    Went IM -> SubQ

    I had read a long thread on another forum where people had lower T levels with SQ, but that did not occur with me. I agree, should reach steady state unless the T were to 'change' or break down prior to absorption. I don't know enough about the body to know one way or the other. I had read...

    Went IM -> SubQ

    Vince, I agree and that is probably reason enough. I don't know if it matters but maybe there was also concern about scarring with EOD IM frequency and muscle soreness from IM. Will, I started IM, changed to SubQ for about 8 weeks, ran labs with both. Now I switch around based on what I...

    Exercise in Middle Age Reversing Effects of Inactive Life

    Wasted Test in Syringe

    to the OP, this has probably been said already but Easy Touch insulin syringes are popular because they are inexpensive, easy to find, and low dead space. Also, consider drawing and injecting with a smaller needle and using the same syringe/needle to do both draw and inject. I like 28 gauge...

    What's my best choice pellets or injections?

    My buddy uses pellets. He like them but from what he says it does not seem as good as injections. He has been way over range and then as the pellets dissolve he is below range. Another time he has a large sore spot after an insert. Works for him though.
