    Androgel 1% 2.5gm Question

    I do recall reading the "Do not apply to chest or back" thing when I opened my first box of gel. I ignored it because after talking to two doctors and doing a lot of research as to where and how it should be applied the instruction given just didn't make sense. My first assumption regarding the...

    Androgel 1% 2.5gm Question

    cocarr, the dosage you've been given is far too low. The Doc should have started you off on 5gm per day. My first HIV Doc (whom I later fired) wrote my first prescription for 2.5gm after I told him I wanted to start at 5. Call your Doc and tell him you need to be starting at 5gm and have him...

    5 mg daily cialis question

    YES!!! PLEASE DO IT! I probably wouldn't be able to afford it but I think it's a wonderful idea. Last night I sat here and read the epic 17 page thread on this stack. For some reason I thought it ended at page 2 and never bothered to go further. One of the best discussions I've ever read. Got...

    A possible option for those who are struggling to find a TRT specialist.

    HarryCat, it looks like the days of a PCP with an independent practice are long gone. And I think this has a lot to do with Medicare. I do know that Medicare has caused drastic changes with hospitals when new rules went into effect two years ago. Both of my Doc's are part of a large Catholic...

    A possible option for those who are struggling to find a TRT specialist.

    Congratulations on the education process you've taken with your Doc! You did the same thing I did to educate my HIV Doc. Only difference is that I did this last August before this site was up and running. I'd never heard of Dr. Crisler but I had read both of Nelson's books. I was mostly focused...

    Subcutaneous fat & Testo gel.

    I highly recommend going with Gene's advice on this. Using a quality product like this coupled with TRT will definitely pack on the muscle. You don't want a fat butt anyway. You want a MUSCLE butt! I started using this supplement when I started TRT 9 months ago and at 6'-0" I've gone from 205lbs...

    Nipple growth caused by testosterone

    I am totally in Nelson's camp on this issue. Mine have also increased in size since starting TRT and I couldn't be happier! I'm hoping they continue to grow and am even thinking of getting some nipple suction cups to help 'em along! I've noticed in the recent past that guys have brought up...

    Question on Androgel

    Kurt, The crash you felt was absolutely normal. I went through the exact same thing when I stopped after three months. You don't say why you stopped, but I did because it gradually stopped working. I started to think the dosage of 7 grams was to low and my HIV doc who at the time knew nothing...

    Buyers clubs

    Thanks so much Nelson for your reply on this subject. It's hard for me to believe that after so many years of losing friends to AIDS and then finally having to deal with the disease myself that until I read BUILT TO SURVIVE I'd never heard of a Buyers Club. I remember sitting there reading the...

    Crockpot chicken with frozen tenders

    I would NEVER try to cook frozen chicken in a crock pot even on a high setting. It must be thawed first. If you do this frozen you'll need continually check each piece with a meat thermometer and make sure it registers between 160 and 180 degrees. Also, remember that each time you remove the lid...

    Animal study: CLA + endurance training = more testosterone

    Gene, Thanks for the link on this. I've heard of CLA but never new exactly what it was and now my interest has really been piqued! I just read several reviews from different nutrition and supplement stores and it's getting rave reviews regarding fat lose but getting negative reviews because the...

    Body Shaving Question

    I know of absolutely no way you can shave anywhere on your body with out the chance of ingrown hairs if you are indeed prone to them as I am. That is why guys like me grow a full beard or keep our beards clipped down to a three day scruff. I am very hairy and would never dream of shaving down...

    Yikes. Liver transplant. Sounds like Mass Destruction truly lives up to its name.

    good lotion or skin care products for the face

    Thanks Nelson! I never knew there was such a product. I've been dealing with this issue since my teens and of course testosterone in my "advanced" age has made it worse. Ready to place my Amazon order! Ron

    Miracle Skin Gun

    WOW is right! This REALLY hits close to home as a neighbor of mine has a 19 year old son who was severely burned at a bon fire in November in the EXACT same way as the officer featured in the video. Same second degree burns on the face and down his side. I need to get this vid forwarded to him...

    Creatine supplementation and aging musculoskeletal health.

    I've also had great success with micronized creatine. Absolutely no bloating and no diarrhea. Quick and easy to take 20 to 30 minutes before a workout. I use ProMera CON-CRET and purchase it on Bodybuilding.com
