Thanks! Good idea. The challenge is that the cardio is just guessing about wheather my heart disease is under control due to the measures we have taken or if it is progressing. Sometimes docs like to use a stress test but I always passed my stress tests in the years and months prior to my...

I should have mentioned that. Yes, I have a history of heart disease. Everything is "normal" now but I had stents placed in 2012.

Yet another question about TRT and heart disease. With TRT my level hovers high 800s, sometimes 900. My PCP says my T is too high and references increased risk of heart disease with a relatively high T as her concern. Should I be concerned?

Does anyone think the 40mg of Lipitor daily could possibly cause the fatigue?

My challenge is to find a doctor that is well versed in fatigue issues and its such a diverse area with so many possibilities that ruling them all out one by one with a GP is nearly impossible. I did email my Kaiser SoCal doc a while back and this was her response after I requested additional...

LOL. Thats all covered under "psychological factors".:D

This has been at least a 6 year struggle for me, I am now 56. This forum fits my situation because I suffer from what I would call extreme fatigue for the last half of the day nearly every day. I get through most days with caffeine and modafinil once in a while, a couple times a week. I have...

Very true but I have no evidence that any thing has changed since march. Whats a good blood test interval for regular monitoring?

I am E3d on test and .25 mg Anastrozole. Will stay at e3d on test cyp and try .25 mg every 6 days on the Anastrozole since I already have quite a few .25 tabs. Sound reasonable?

It seems as though many are dosing at around 1000 IU HCG a week (divided e3d, 2 times a week, or daily). What are the possible benefits and negatives to a higher dose?

yes. The only thing I am confused about is IU vs Units. My syringe measures in Units, not IU. Whats the relationship between the two? If you meant to say 10 Units, 5 Units and 6.25 Units on the syringe, its now completely clear for me.

I need some help understanding my HCG dosage. Delivered from Empower: 11,000 IU with directions: Add 5.5 ML of Bacteriostatic water. My syringes are 100 units or 1 cc or 1 ML each. I inject 30 units E3D but would like to go to every day to even things out. How would I convert this to 125...

Whats the best way to get Cabergoline and Sermorlin? Script or ??

Gene: Is this still the protocol you are using?

How long does Test Cyp last in the body? Is this the same as "half life"?

Thanks for the info Nelson. I really respect your input. I am sure you have posted on this elsewhere but if I have no statin side effects, in a nut shell, what you you see as the main problems with them?

Thanks for posting your info. I have never had any muscle craps or joint pain on Lipitor. The only side effect that I am considering is the often reported fatigue. I do believe that could be an issue for me, even with CoQ10 supplementation. Hard to know unless I go off the statin, however.

Some individuals have very difficult, inherited, LDL and HCL challenge and use statins to control this. Is there any information easily available showing the results such individuals have been able to achieve using some or all of the supplements above? Actual case studies of individuals and...

Can you give us some info on how long you were on statins and what your levels were before and after you stopped. What what were the main reasons you stopped and have you noticed any difference in how you feel since stopping?

I think the thought on this has changed a bit over the past 3-4 years. My first cardiologist had me on 1500 3 years ago. A year and a half ago, I switched docs and at first he continued the 1500 but on my second visit, he suggested I discontinue siting a study that called into question the...

Can anyone recommend a reliable source for tongkat ali?

Does it matter where I inject sub-q HCG? I am on blood thinners and as a result the injection leaves a mark from time to time. If its going to leave a mark, I wish it was not in the center of my stomach every time.

My prescription says: HCG (LYO) 11,000 IU INJECTABLE Add 5.5 ML of BACTERIOSTATIC WATER. Inject 400 to 500 IU of HCG (20 units to 25 units or 0.2 mL to 0.25 ML)Sub-Q EVERY 3 DAYS. Does this mean that if I fill my syringe to .3 CC (.3 ML) and inject E3D that I am getting over 500 IU E3D? Is...

I have not been donating blood. Should I be?

TSH: I am trying to understand this a little better. I am currently on 112mcg of Levrothyroxin daily. Your suggestion is that my TSH could be a little lower, what would I do to make that happen?

Okay, good, so its not a concern as low LH is more or less a side effect of TRT. The attached test is the Hormone and Wellness Panel for men from discountedlabs.com. I will add the other tests as you suggest. Of course, its a great relief to get a "not bad" rating from "the man", Nelson. As...

I feel pretty good most of the time. I'm on Liptior. Yes to the high protein and exercise. Is the very low Lutenizing Hormone a concern?

Attached are my most recent results. It looks like I need to make some adjustments. Let me know what you think. Currently taking HCG, Anastrosole and T Cyp .19 ML at 200mg/ml, all E3D.

Chris: can I get the name of your Kaiser GP?

Okay, tha helps. It does not cover every thing but its a pretty good start. I wish discountedlabs.com would develop one package that includes all of the tests generally recommended here.

My doc will take blood work from which ever lab I choose. Since I have been doing this quite a while, been on HRT for now almost 2 years, and been on this site extensively, I know what my numbers should be. Considering I am now paying for this on my own, I use discount labs for all of my blood...
