Hi Guys. I started on T-Gel end of last sept had labs done at christmas and my T level had gone from 4.4 to 5.4 after 3 months...this was without a AI and the gel was (what I now know) was frosting. I argued with my bafoon of a gp to up my dosage, which she agreed to. 1 sachet am and 1...

Whats the members views on niggly headaches. I have been treating these as an indication that my e-2 is on the rise. Wake up with a muzzy kinda headache. I normally respond by taking a .25 or .5 dose of arimidex. When you look at the signs to watch out for with e-2 some guys are prone to a...

Hi CW My new doc (private) changed things after my bloods. My DHEA was low so she threw in 50mg a day which I felt was way to high..so I split the tab in half down to 25mg. She threw in 5 mg of Prog a day to control my E2 as I said I was concerned about the long term use of Arimidex, plus my...

Hi Craig W I live in the Uk & yep what a drama...I had various tests done privately then tackled my GP with the evidence and after several heated discussions/arguments over many weeks she agreed to scribe me T-gel. As mentioned before she is clueless as she outright refused to scribe me any AI...

Sunshine Hi B07 The big problem is that here in the UK we seem to be seeing less and less sun...so without supplementing my levels would be very low...I decrease my intake when I don manage to catch some sun but that's not very often. I used to get very low in the winter months until I...

Agreed :) no question. Davet

Nice one. Thanks Paul-e All the best.

I have noticed a reaction since starting on my meds just wondering if any other members had noticed it ... Been on T-Gel & arimidex now for around 8mths....)apart from the 4weeks change of meds and my subsequent crash) Over here in the UK we don't get a lot of sunshine. As I used to workout side...

Thanks guys Hmmm...nothings simple is it......never was an issue...before I changed my lifestyle back in 09.......alcohol used to do it for me but as I don't indulge any more I cant go there...I was doing fine but when my new Doc changed my meds and threw in Prog & Dhea which caused me to crash...

As I progress with my therapy things are improving in the bedroom department...starting to feel like my old self again. Any tips from the members about hanging on to the load...just don't seem to be able to last that long which does me no favours with the wifey...any recommendations would be...

Do the guys on Gel moisturize... my numbers were cr*p until i started moisturizing, I rotate the sites and rotate the moisturizing. Kind of got into the habit of it now...no frosting, maximum absorption. No problems with Mrs we just have to work on the timing.:)

Intra workout shk. Thanks guys.. I think I am just reaching the stage where I have dropped enough body fat to slow down aromatisation ...so i am going to to try lowering my arimidex down to 2 x .25mg instead of the 2 x.5 mg. (tried the Prog route to control my E but as previously mentioned it...

I am running a low carb regime. Focusing on protein and good fats.(just about to hit the big 60). My goal is to put on size (lean) and achieve the best shape I can for a guy of my age with the mileage on my clock...still got a annoying layer of fat around my midsection...which is slowly...

Thanks for the replies guys. Davet

Protocol Morning CW I have been on T-Gel for 6 months.....first 3 months on 1 sachet a day......had my T level checked and my level had barely moved to 5.4. My regular doc was clueless. I hit the web and did some research. Read up on frosting of the gel, which meant it wasn't being absorbed...

Hi Guys Just got my DHT labs back and they are above range.... 2.190 nmol/L ..is that anything to be concerned about....from what I can gather I think its positive. Free T is 18.4 and normal T 22.6 Should I adjust my protocol or keep things on track ?...........PSA numbers were 1.37. Thanks...

Well had my meeting with my new doc here in the Uk....full panel of labs done. But that old chestnut the E2 test has reared its head again. It looks as though the E2 test that was ran was the usual female one that did not register an E2 reading for. But my HDL has dropped and LDL risen so I am...

Preg Hi Torrential My mistake...you were correct Dr T backfills with Preg and not Prog...must concentrate more :(

Back filling... Hi Torrential ...printed it off yesterday to take up to my docs with me next week...I'm pretty sure it was from Dr T's 2009 paper....I will check again tonight just to make sure my memories not failing me ...lol

Vince...let us know how you get on with the 10mg a day...this could get interesting.

Great article Ero.......that helps me understand where my new Doc is coming from...might just be the tweak I need to fine tune my therapy....:)

Back filling... Reading Dr Johns book he reckons he always throws HCG and Progesterone into the mix to back fill the pathways to achieve a better balance/homeostasis status. May be Dr T himself can comment on this one ? I will keep an open mind with this one and see what my new Doc has to...

Thanks guys...I would say reading your article Vince its one to avoid if I can. Cheers

Hi guys I have sacked my GP becuz as I have mentioned before...she is clueless... promised me a full set of labs in March & all got was my T level checked again...waste of space ! So I have booked up a meeting with a private doc to take over control of my therapy. In the correspondence that was...

SP Hi 1Draw Got me next labs on the 14th....not sure if my frustrating doc has booked a full panel or just my T levels like she did last time. If she hasn't ...(even though she promised a full panel) I have lined up a private clinic to take them. Once I have them I will know more. Monitoring...

Saw pal Hi CW After my last bloods (Dec 2015) indicated that the T gel therapy had hardly improved my numbers...& the total lack of response from my doc. I started to run stinging nettle root and .25mg to .5mg of arimidex maybe twice or three times a week. Cured my night sweats, foggy head and...

I have read contradictory research on the above SP. The Life extension team reckon its a must to run it whilst on T-Gel therapy to avoid prostate problems. But other research indicates that it can push up E and also block Andro conversion. The latest research I have read on prostate issues now...

My diet is about as tight as I can get it...all organic foods no HFCS no carbonated drinks no alcohol. 6 meals a day spaced out...all clean food...no garbage... Spend Saturday mornings on food prep sorting my weeks food. I have read many books on diets as my goal was to lean out and put on...

On checking my fasting blood sugar levels they are coming up on the high side 6.5 yesterday morning which is near the top range for pre-diabetes. Before i started my T-gel they ran pretty high any way. My doc didn't seem to think it was anything to be concerned about but as previously...

Moving Forward Thanks guys...my doc has promised me a full set of labs in mid March which when I have them I will post them up. If she changes her mind with the labs and still has no solid direction with my treatment I will defo get the ball rolling and would strongly consider working with Defy...

My journey......here in the Uk Long story...started of my journey with my local doc Feb last year.......which poo-hood the whole andropause theory. So I took myself of to Harley St a private clinic and and a rake of tests done which proved my Test was dangerously low ....2.4.....feeling crap...
