I've read somewhere that Oxandrolone can have an effect on lactic acid buildup in quads of cyclist (could be related to quads and hockey) and also painful pumps in the back while doing deadlifts. I'm sure someone with more info will chime in.

It is strange for me. My hematocrit has always been on the lower side as you can see. I haven't been adding any more Test or other goodies lately. Creatine is the only thing I added @ 5 grams per day. I stopped about a week ago and have another blood test coming up on the 11th. However, I think...

Kidney function went from 62 to 57. I'm stopping creatine for my next blood test to see if it changes and I'll report back the results

I think I'll message my NP and tell her I've been using Creatine. I haven't done that yet and it may change the tests I have scheduled in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure she plans on doing the same test we've already done.

Funny you mention that. Right below my test result it says this: "This Cr-based equation underestimates GFR in patients with increased muscle mass. Order CYSTATIN C WITH GFR ESTIMATE, LAB4559, if additional evaluation of renal function is needed." I messaged her about that and she responded...

So I had my first blood test and ECHO in reference to the TAVR. No ECHO results yet, but my BNP levels went from over 1000 down to 65. I'm pretty sure that's great news! I'll update again when I get my ECHO results.

Just a heads up and probably a bit of "Bro Science." I started taking 5 grams of creatine several months back. It was symptom and problem free and I got great results from it. However, in a recent blood test, my hematocrit went from 46 (where it's been for years) to 51, and my kidney function...

I tend to agree that you should find another PCP. My PCP heard my symptoms and ordered the 2 required tests without issue. They were low and she referred me to urology. Now I have annual blood tests, prostate exams, and scripts. At least ask your PCP to refer you to urology.

No, they use a Vascade Vascular Closure System - I wouldn't have known, but they gave me a pamphlet. You can read about it here: Vascular Closure | Haemonetics® Hospital Solutions I didn't have general anesthesia, but I was far from awake. The DR put the stuff in the IV and told me it takes...

TAVR completed on Thursday! WOW, what a difference already! I can breath deeper, I have more energy, and generally feel a lot better. I can't wait to exercise and really feel the difference. I have to take it easy for a week due to the femoral artery incision... then we'll put it to the test :)...

I'll keep you updated how this all turns out....

Hi Vince, I was 42 at my 1st procedure. Some would ask why I didn't go with a mechanical valve... I had NO interest in lifelong anticoagulation so I made the decision I made knowing full well I'd have to do it again...and here we are! I've read a lot about Adam Pick and seen numerous videos of...

TAVR - transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Just curious if anyone here has been through the procedure.. I had a bicuspid aortic valve (born with it) replaced with a tissue valve 16 years ago. Everyone is surprised I got that long out of it. But, it has caught up to me and I'm do for a redo...

I clicked on the link and Malwarebytes blocked the site. Says it is compromised. Sounds like a great place to stay away from. Thanks for the heads up!

Yep, those are the prices in the Boston area anyway.. In most cases, insurance won't help as it's "cosmetic." Maybe if you can prove a medical reason, it might change things. Like you, I saw the price tag and moved on.

Mostly from what I've read; about $7500 to $10,000 depending on area.

Nothing yet.. it's still sitting in my fridge. I'm not sure I'll waste my time with it...

I would stick with what works.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm fairly discouraged in the 3 or 4 peptide companies that I tried so far. I keep reading on different message boards that these batches are all from China and fake. I can't vouch for Recon yet. I may try it soon. After, I'm going to seek out some real liraglutide pens...

Haha, according to my Garmin Venu 2 Plus, I have had poor sleep EVERY night for the past year! I'm pretty sure it isn't accurate so I don't give it much attention.

All is well.. Looks like it was picked up today. I am glad they are busy and that probably goes along with their reputation of selling quality stuff. I do need to learn to give folks more time especially nowadays. I appreciate all you have done to help @BigTex - you are an asset to this site...

Maybe I spoke too soon, lol MOST RECENT FEBRUARY 18 - 4:51 PMShipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting ItemGulf breeze, FL And there it sits!

@readalot Holy crapola! WOW! I see what you are saying by stripping it down and building it back up. Great work and lot's of it, I'm sure ! I'm inspired... I've been thinking of doing a little TRT+ myself. I'm still in the losing fat phase. But, it's great to see your success story.

Damn, I missed it... I love inspiration.. I started at about the same with a 47" waist. Six months in I'm at 42" - long way to go but it will happen.

Well that is discouraging.. sorry to hear that!

How is the Cardarine working? I have some, but haven't taken it yet. Would love to hear if it's working..

Finally got an email from Stamps.com with a tracking number and no indication that it is from Recon Peptides. I viewed their website and sure enough the tracking is the same. So, at least it's being shipped.

Funny, I'm suddenly getting an email a day from Recon Peptides about their 30% off sales but I'll be damned if I can get them to respond to my weeks old paid for order still in "processing!"... WOW!

Good luck! Initially their communication was great.. now, crickets! I'm going to wait and see what BigTex can find out, then I'll hit them up publicly on their FB page. Folks have to communicate!

I dunno man... They told me they would ship this out last week, and nothing. I contacted them again via ******** a few days ago, and nothing. I messaged them again today on ******** to issue me a refund if they can't produce the product. Still nothing.. Not looking good for Recon. If you have a...
