Yes! Thanks.

No. I've even tried T4 liquid from BSP, taking it only at night to improve my sleep. T4, for me, does get me to sleep, but with any form of T4, I begin to put on weight, as I do with testosterone. I also experience low grade melancholy on T4, which dissipates after I'm off it for a few days...

The expense would be problematic. I'll stay with West-Ward Test E.

That's cool. Thanks. I buy all my supplements on Amazon and they have a large selection in whatever one is looking for. I'll check it out.

I've had Tourette's Syndrome since I was 3. As a young adult, doing research on it, the consensus in the neurology community was that TS was rare. I'm the one who read an article in JAMA while waiting to see my psychiatrist and it addressed TS. I showed him the article and he sort of...

What about C & lysine?

Maybe. I do enjoy liver. A particular brand?

Fantastic! Reading such a testimonial reminds me that there's always hope. My wife, who has what appears to be early stage dementia, has a primary who's an effing dolt. Even when the labs are bad he tells her that they're okay. And she's committed to being a vegetarian, though it might be...

Similar. I can have intense desire but no corresponding erectile function, though, as I've posted, I'm finding that my desire begins to rise in the late afternoon/early evening, culminating in a semi erection around 10 p.m., which I can bring to a full erection that lasts about 10 minutes. As...

I'll consider it. Even supplements can negatively impact my mood and sleep, so I've become hesitant to add something new.

Going back over 30 years ago, my father and I ate meat at least twice a week, liver every couple of weeks, chicken and fish. We both took 2 or 3 grams of vitamin C, daily. He was in his 70's and no energy problems nor weight gain as he got older. 135 until he died. I began gaining weight...

I'm trying daily, again, because I'm trying to manipulate estradiol. I start putting on weight around the waist, quickly. Daily, perhaps, with it's stability, will lead to gradual weight loss. Maybe not, but nothing to lose.

I was thinking, after I replied to @Systemlord, that it makes more sense to improve iron uptake and ferritin status via vitamin C & lysine instead of taking an iron supplement. I think about my late friend. He ate meat everyday, took vitamin C & iron supplements. He had a back round in...

You've posted extensively regarding your issues with iron & ferritin. My last ferritin check, a year ago, was 63. In the context of the iron panel, my urologist said it was fine but low energy, brain fog and poor sleep(though improving) are constants for me and my response to testosterone has...

Under Health Canada, can you directly contact a university hospital to consult with a specialist or does that require a referral? Perhaps go back to your primary and discuss this with him or her. Your endo might be reading up about KS on the Internet and just grabbing bits and pieces to try...

I'm similar. Now doing 16 mg, IM, daily, Test E. Been taking 70 mg pregnenolone, daily and recently added sublingual magnesium carbonate(which I was taking orally) to stabilize my mood(treatment resistant bipolar). Strongly anti-depressant. Magnesium is also a vasodilator and improves nitric...

Clarify. I've read your posts on T-Nation. You have insights based on personal experience.

DHEA is positive/negative and the latter is that it increases estradiol. Not always a negative, but maybe so for you. You're prescribed anastrozole to blunt conversion of testosterone to estradiol and told to take DHEA would seem to be at odds with whatever your doctor is thinking(or not...

Yes. Thanks. Sorry for my omission of that possibility.

Elevated estradiol or low estradiol. Yes, contradictory, but high and low E2 could present with similar symptoms. Hypothyroid, primary or secondary(related to hypothalamus/pituitary). There are documented cases where 2 to 5 years of continuous treatment brought about positive response...

I've been experiencing more food sensitivities over the past decade, but even when I followed a no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, no egg diet for over two decades(form early 20's to mid 40's) I still had pollen/mold allergies, migraines and several severe colds every year. Took dairy free...

I have United Healthcare Medicare Advantage PPO and Optum provides the mail order pharmacy service and mental health service. When my urologist was prescribing two vials of enanthate, every six weeks two more vials arrived. I ended up with a surplus for several months. LOL.

About 30 years ago, living in South Jersey, I began to manifest itchy welts on my upper torso and scalp. The manager of the condo recommended a dermatologist she had gone to. He looked me over and said, 'Mold.' The mold count was quite high that year. I was breathing it in and swallowing it...

The downside of national healthcare and I'm a supporter of it. Rationing out appointments to specialists or only having a few and they're booked for months or a year. I talk with people in the UK on another forum and that's what they have to contend with. I've experienced that, here, when I...

Your statement about having a wife who likes to have fun(in bed) is highly relevant. Since she's years younger, much more responsive and open. I had an rx for PT-141 and never ordered it from Empower because I wondered if it would make any difference with my sexually indifferent wife. Thinking...

Posters numbers are borderline low, except for TT and that isn't all that great. I believe in 16/17 year olds, you see TT of 600 to 700 and sometimes, higher. Cholesterol is quite low. Can it be too low since it's the material from which hormones are synthesized? Bioavailable T is low. DHEA...

I did try Testopel years ago. Though the labs looked great, zero response. But I'm not negative about pellets. My urologist, with decades of experience, added pellet therapy to his practice but still prescribes injections, gels, compounded creams. I talked with men six years ago on...

I'm now doing daily IM, 16 mg. Even though my SHBG is mid 30's, low 40's, if I do weekly, twice a week or EOD, my weight starts to go up and waist size increases. I can only hope that, over the months, I'll see many improvements with daily inections.

I'm still not sure about the Empower formula of grapeseed oil and benzyl alcohol. Didn't feel right when I first tried it a few months ago, presuming it was either the oil or preservative. Extremely chemically sensitive, which is an effing hassle. Test Cyp is out of the question. Cottonseed...

Just prop. 15 mg/daily. Only started back on it. As I wrote, there was a guy on here a few years ago who said after trying various esters and dosing protocols, it was test prop that to which he had a positive response at 15 mg, IM, daily. Of course that doesn't mean that I'll get a similar...

Sounds like my experiences. I'm trying Empower test prop, again; 15 mg. There was a guy on here,sebastianj, I think, a few years ago, who found 15 mg of prop was his optimal dose, after trying various protocols with various esters. What I've been finding, for the past six weeks or so, is...
