Not sure if anyone has experience but my doc has recommend ed the Endopat. Non invasive test.

When I first went on trt my cholesterol dropped substantially. I havent checked it in a while so I don't know if it held. I'm remembering all kinds of things he said now that I think about it. He felt that the over prescription of statins was one of the causes of low testosterone in men...

Unfortunately he was expensive, I was broke and it took years to find another one who wouldn't constantly try and drop my numbers. He also pointed out that he thought it indicated a hormone imbalance as well. His thought was that if we were lacking a hormone in the pathway then the body would...

Good article. I had an alternative doctor 15 years ago tell me cholesterol was good and that trying to correct it was like trying to keep firemen away from a fire. Correct the underlying issues and all is good.

My doc wrote the script for 1mg tablets a few times a week. I just cut them in quarters and take .25 twice a week.

Sorry my eyes were blurry at five am!!!!

Weight gain can happen. However, so the others can help better, what dose and schedule are you on, are you on an AI, plus any other info you can provide.

I am not sure about the following transdermal argument but my doc is a believer. See the following thread I started about transdermal dosing and scroll down to also see the response I got from the labdirector. Good read for info if nothing else

When I was on creams my doc told me to rotate application sites - upper arms, shoulders, lower ab, inner thighs - to prevent issues with absorbing.

Thank you Chris. My doc is happy with letting things go for now with the exception of strengthening the adrenals. I didn't change anything except No longer on NDT Taking isocort in the morning and a tiny dose at night to boost the lagging times. Perhaps things are stabilizing finally. I am...

I've only seen that it interferes at a cellular level with the uptake of the hormones. I haven't seen that it intereferes with absorption.

For some reason it wouldn't let me edit above. I have included Units. Received results from Thyroid panel. February 2014 TSH 1.17 (0.34-5.6) uIu/ml Free T4 0.96 (0.6-2.0) ng/dl Free T3 2.9 (2.3-4.2) pg/ml Thyroid Peroxidase <10 iu/ml Thyroglobulin <20 iu/ml Reverse T3. 18 (7-24) ng/dl...

Not that you need validation but I was talking to my doctor today about heart health and erectile function and he said that improving nitric production is one of the most crucial things we can do. When I asked what he recommends he rattled off almost everything in your stack including the beet...

If you get more labs I would be interested to see if you are hypothyroid. A previous forum I used to go on all the time had someone that always said that guys who are hypothyroid typically do not absorb topical test well. would be neat to see if it bears out. Not wishing hypothyroid on you by...

They aren't high if you weren't on TRT, but exogenous testosterone causing your production of LH and FSH to tank typically

Nizoral is expensive but in addition to helping with the acne and hairloss it is the only dandruff shampoo that has ever worked for me when I have a flare up. Good stuff

I haven't found any trials, just folks on thyroid forums stating it caused weight gain. This literature review alludes to it as well http://m.news24.com/health24/Diet-and-nutrition/Weight-loss/L-carnitine-and-your-thyroid-20120721 I know it is likely coincidence but I have dropped three of...

My doctor has had me on L Carnitine for the past few weeks and I have gained 10 pounds and felt sluggish. I didn't make the potential connection until a moderator on a thyroid board said not to take L Carnitine if you are hypo and use it cautiously if normal, but it is good if hyperthyroid...

Chris, please see my last post. Chris or anyone - I don't know if coincidence but in the two weeks since I stopped the low dose of NDT, I have gained ten pounds, I am literally dragging ass in the mornings, and even my erections seem to have gone downhill. Thedaily cialis had things hanging...

I battle itching , burning, redness, inflammation, etc at the site. I would imagine it is much worse with such a large volume being injected. You may not experience so much/or any with more frequent injections.

Tomorrow you will wake up looking like Arnold and the Hawaiian tropic swimsuit team will be at your door. Just having fun no insult implied! But seriously, I don't think I have ever read of anyone feeling good on that dose. You are going to peak in a few days and then by week two you will be...

Daily dosing of gels shuts down your own production just like any other t therapy. When you remove the daily dosing you quickly burn through the testosterone and unfortunately it takes your body a lot more time than that to start again, if it will on it's own. I say yep the way you feel is...

I have often wondered what that thick purple goo it is in consists of... Not sure I want to know but if someone does please let us know!!

No erection in site. Between it being freezing in the room and the amount of pain she put me in, I don't think it would have been possible!!!

Chris, I figured if I was in the lines that would be decent. However, if I understand what you are saying and studying the graph a little better, then my morning levels are pretty low and show a steady decline down to essentially nothing over the day. My pattern does not appear all that...

at least the one I use works great. my only problem is that the liquid it is suspended in is very viscous and it is hard to shake. heating it up in warm water every day is a pain. would love to figure out a way to make that chore easier. otherwise, works very well.

Thanks Chris. Looks like it could be optimized in some areas but by no means a train wreck. I will research how it all relates. I left a message on Dr Lam site about my levels and specifically about my aldosterone and got back a boilerplate message that said lab values are not the only thing...
