    Why am I getting acne after a Year on self-administered TRT and what the remedy?

    Dr. Crisler told me during my initial consult to take B5 and L-Carnitine a few times a day... Can't remember the dose he said but from looking it up online 750mg B5 and 250mg L-carnitine 3xday seems to do the trick... He said it works wonders...

    What size needle do you push it through? I have the insulin syringes, 30gauge 1/2" from defy and wondered if I combined the hcg and test into that if it would push...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Bump on my question above... Curious about combining Test Cyp and HCG for 1 injection and if it would make the Test easier to push through a higher gauge needle.. Got all my meds yesterday from Defy and did my first HCG shot... Nothing to it, pretty easy, no pain... Although I think I may be...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Well I did my first subq pin last night... Nothing to it and didn't feel the needle pierce the skin.. Harder to push the test through a 25g needle but it's half the amount so not so bad... Still waiting on meds from Defy but had my test cyp from current script, Crisler said to just use that...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    So had my meeting with Dr. Crisler yesterday afternoon... Feel so much better knowing I'm set with proper TRT moving forward... He's a very decent guy and enjoyable to talk to... As we talked I mentioned my wife having issues with my libido and that it's been an issue lately... He never let...

    Lab Results - Defy consult, what to expect?

    Would like you to know that by sharing this with me it opened the door to a whole new way of eating. I've been on the keto way of eating for 2 weeks now and love it... I've dropped 8 lbs, 2% bodyfat by eating bacon, butter, red meat, sour cream, cheese, etc.... First week of low carbs was rough...

    Lab Results - Defy consult, what to expect?

    No, this wasn't from my doctor.. I was one foot in the door at a local HRT clinic that ordered that level of detailed labs, which was free as long as I had insurance... At this location they must look at all of this information and work on a total lifestyle change... But I found out about Defy...

    Lab Results - Defy consult, what to expect?

    I have no clue what you mean by that, lol... I assume something in the test results? Great video! I watched all three episodes and kinda explains alot... Last year when I lost around 70-80lbs I was doing much lower carb, high fat, and high protien... All carbs came from complex and fats were...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Been on synthroid for years. It was increased about 2 years ago I believe. Don't remember what my level was previous but was low enough to justify going on along with family history. Going to start taking my synthroid when I get up first thing in the morning to give it time to absorb...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Thank you so much for the reply and time put into this, very appreciated! Wasn't dehydrated, was drinking water all morning. Synthroid (that is correct dose) was always taken with breakfast, never empty stomach. Never knew this but bet it's printed on bottle. There is creatine in my...

    Main issues - Fatigue, low libido, no drive, weight gain (especially around the middle), slight anxiety, slight depression, very irritable and moody (at least the wife says, lol), bad water retention (extremities swell up), no morning erection which use to be the one thing I could count on...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Here are my results to my latest labs from last week... I was shocked by the testosterone results. I've never had them that high and to be honest does not represent the way I feel on a daily basis... I get my injections on Sunday nights and this blood test was Thursday morning at around 10:30 AM...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    So faxed in my physical form this morning and just got a call from the local clinic saying that my lab results are in and they see an issue with my cholesterol. Not sure what it is as I didn't get the specific test they were speaking of only my value was over 2000 and the high end is 1800 or...

    Obtaining a Physical for Defy

    Local clinic in Grand Rapids MI cost me $77 for the physical. Tried going through my GP but after initially scheduling it for 4/15 I was then told that he doesn't do physicals on that day and then had it scheduled for a week later... Yet again proving that I just need to find another GP as this...

    Man Up! - Needle Phobia

    I inject at home as well, well my wife does it for me who is an RN, and currently use a 23g 1/1/2" into the hip. She always comments on how hard it is to push through that 23 gauge needle. How do you guys push (or draw) through a 29g or whatever an insulin needle is?

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Yes moving forward this will be awesome but initially getting them from the clinic I just had them done at is saving me $$$... Considering doing the total t and free t over though. I took injection less then 4 days prior to blood draw.

    So I talked with Chelsea Friday afternoon.. Got all paperwork turned in except for physical form. My doc won't get me in for physical until 4/21 so going to look for a local walk in clinic that might be able to do one... Working on getting my lab results from local TRT clinic that took them last...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Yeah, there was nothing else with the test cyp. No HCG or prior TRT meds for a couple years prior to starting with test cyp. I have been on androgel and testim in my early 30's but that doc just decided to pull me off "because I lost weight".. Lol, that was before I did any research and had no...

    My current hunt for TRT, Help!

    Shoot, looks like I missed that window then. I just emailed them all anyway just in case it's "close enough"... Also sent all past labs like you did to show a trend, specifically my test which shows - 10/18/13 828.1 5/17/14 789.1 11/8/14 772.3 5/16/15 552 2/27/16 283.8 Treatment stared 9/13...
