If 10 ngs caused some side effects lower the dosage to 5 mgs per day or even 5 mgs every other day. crestor has a long half life, its an excellent drug. You are probably genetically predisposed to high cholesterol meaning your liver over produces it. Lower your carb and sugar intake, that will...

As far as receptor damage, i am quite sure new receptors are always being created.

Forget about the white liquid for a minute, the fact that you need to push hard means you have an Enlarged prostate and you probably arent fully emptying your bladder. Most men have no idea they arent fully emptying. When this happens you start to get UT infections and thats probably why you are...

If you go to a reputable cardiologist and you are in good shape and eat well and he says you need a statin based on elaborate blood testing which includes Ldl particle number, one would be foolish not to take his advice.

You can have a good Ldl number but if the particle number is high, you have a bigger risk. Thats why some guys with seemingly good cholesterol levels still get heart attacks or strokes. Too many general practitioners ignore particle number. Increased particle number means smaller particles which...

A good option is taking crestor at a low dose ( 5 mgs ) every other day. It has a rather long half life.

Carbs( bad carbs) are converted to tryglycerides. More tryglycerides cause the liver to release more LDL with smaller particles. I think bad carbs are the true culprit as well as trans fats. I am NOT recommending this but if you eat very well and excercize most of the time but will eat poorly on...

Crestor significantly lowers the LDL particle number. Particle number is MOST linked to cvd when it comes to cholesterol. Of course BP and tryglycerides as well.

Its a FACT, LDL cholesterol particles sticks to the walls of the arteries causing blockages. That cannot be disputed. This is most certain in those with a high LDL particle number. Throw high tryglycerides into the mix and you are asking for serious trouble if not addressed. Having some sort of...

My creatinine level was high ( 1.38 ) I think the range is .09 - 1.30 Six months ago it was only 1.12. All my other kidney number were fine. My CK number was good. My doc didnt even blink when i mentioned the high creatine. He is a cardiologist. He didnt seem concerned. Of course i now am.. I...

My LDL particle number is very high. The overall cholesterol is 199 but LDL is 123. That said, the particle number is extremely high. 1)Can diet alone lower particle number? 2) i also read about taking low dose cestor ( 5 mgs) every other day to reduce potential side effects. I even see studies...

Any of you guys have LDL issues and need to take a statin such as crestor? Any side effects? How long have you been on?

Vman No offense but my original post specificially said low T or low Free T. It does not pertain to your situation.

Guys Although we all need to get LDL cholesterol checked, the more important number is particle size and particle number. You can have good LDL numbers but if the particle number is high and the particles are small, you are at very high risk of a cardio vascular event. Get those numbers checked.

Any of you guys have prostate issues? Bph ?

Truebuffalo How old are you.? Any hair loss or thinning with T ?

Im not talking about guys who have low normal levels , 300-425 for example. Im talking about guys walking around with healthy natural T levels and then trying to get T from their docs.

You are giving very poor comparisons dragonbits. Its also not natural to have blue hair, so what !! What does that mean. The body naturally produces a certain level or attempts to produce a certain amount of a very powerful hormone ( testosterone). There is a reason why there are normal ranges...

You must really dislike your stepfather. This is a greay site and Nelson does an outstanding job. That said, far too many guys are using T replacement as an excuse to do a steroid cycle. No natural 40 or 50 year old is walking aroung with natural T levels over 900 unless they are a gorilla.

You think the “ anabolic doc” is the go to guy for true unbiased medical advice? Would you want your own son to be a patient of that guy ?

I just wanted to ask you guys something. You guys mean to tell me if any of you were a reputable endocrinologist or urologist and a patient in his 40’s or 50’s came in to see you complaining of low libido, energy, ect and you had his Testosterone levels: the tests showed his “natural total T”...

So you guys feel best at levels the majority of men in the world dont come close to achieveing naturally? Thats a major reason guys have a tough time giving up steroids, they love the feeling of abnormally high hormone levels. I can certainly understand why some men want high dosages of...

Small dose of finasteride will get your dht levels lower but not too low. That should help.

With all these stidies, the common denomonator seems to always come back to dht.

Unfortunately many guys using T are former steroid users and still want more muscle. Its kind of ridiculous but whatever. You also have some people who are hyperfocused on how they feel minute to minute which is VERY unrealistic. True, the more T you take, the better you feel to an extent but...

Vince, The study you posted is very outdated, its from 1996. Finasteride and Dutasteride lower DHT and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. How much? Who knows. But it does. Men with lower levels of T with prostate cancer also seem to still have higher levels of dht in the prostate. Dht activity...

My doctor always thought this. Its amazing how so many guys claim its men with low levels of T that have a higher risk. Wrong !!! I also suspect high levels of free T correspond to higher levels of DHT which may be the true culprit here.

Are you using T? Does it make it worse?

BJE How old are you? Were you diagnosed with prostate enlargement?

Does this procedure maintain ejaculation?

A good Uro doesnt just look at the number, they look at the velocity. I would get a biopsy. My friend had 2 and said they didnt hurt and its quick. My Uro puts his patients out for biopsies though just to ensure they get one done. Do not wait, get it done asap. It can be easily treated worse...
