Definitely not the case with me. I'm down to once a night, and sometimes none (rarely). Prior to Metformin I was peeing 2 times a night, sometimes three.

Similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I didn't go to the ER but probably should have. These days I take a nibble of edible candy and it definitely helps me stay asleep. Any more than just a nibble and my mind is racing for most of the night.

Vince - Are you saying that A1C will continue to drop the longer you stay on Metformin? I began Metformin a few months ago and my A1C dropped from 5.6 to 5.3, which is great however if it continues to drop I would be even happier. I was surprised that by blood glucose did not change at all...

What was your experience like with Selegiline? Did you notice anything subjectively positive or negative? How did it impact your prolactin levels?

What dosage if Ivermectin did you take?

There are normal levels and then there are optimal levels. My T3/T4/TSH levels were always within the "normal" range but not optimal, however I (or my doctor) did not realize it at the time. I'm the opposite of you - I started TRT before thyroid meds, and I've since wondered if I started...

nope.

80mg/day, prescribed through insurance. Regarding the other potential benefits you listed, I did not experience any of them. That doesn't mean they weren't there, but I did not notice any improvement in those areas.

I've been on it for about 10 yrs. No side effects at all and my BP is well maintained.

Sorry to hear that - What City?

I just checked out Dr. Green's website. Some pretty interesting information there. https://rapamycintherapy.com/

I had the same question. My doctors answer was that there may be something else that T4 does that is beneficial, so may as well keep it within the normal range.

I've decided I'm going to give Metformin a try. My glucose is always around 100 and HA1c is 5.5 - 5.6. From what I've read Metformin also has "life extension" benefits. A very interesting drug, and if it can extend my life while lowering my frequency of nighttime urination, then I will be...

You check your blood sugar? Mine has been at the upper end of the range (glucose and HA1C) for years and I also pee more than once/night. Sometimes as much as 3 or 4 times. I read recently that high blood sugar may be the culprit. I've ruled everything else out. I am looking into Metformin now.

I was on Lipitor for years and because of it I always had a mild lower back ache. No matter what I did regarding diet/weight/exercise I was unable to get my Cholesterol numbers within a good range. As soon as I found a doctor that understood the Thyroid and started me on started Cytomel, I was...

HCG did nothing for me in that regard. Supplements also did nothing to increase volume. I have just learned to live with it - or I should say 'without it' . . .

from Amazon:

Interesting. My Prolactin levels doubled since starting TRT about 3 years ago from approx 5 to anywhere from 8-12 [labcorp range of 4 - 15]. I have noticed my memory is not what it used to be.

1. What is your age? 57 2. How long have you been on TRT? 3 yrs 3. What's your current protocol? 90 mg/week (12/14 mg daily) 4. How is your libido/desire for sex? Either rate out of 10, or describe in your own words. 8-9, no change from before TRT. 5. How is your erection...

I'm already taking Citrate and Glycinate. I don't want to add any more pills/potions to my routine and thought getting the "different" magnesium's in a single pill would be convenient. But I'll keep things as they are. Thanks for the advice.

Has anyone found any overseas sources for NAC?

Anyone have any intel or reviews on this product? Carl Lenore is promoting it. https://magbreakthrough.com/shr?gl=6086549f8ebf58ac5c48a022

Great article - thank you.

Have you checked your thyroid levels? In a nutshell - I started TRT a few years ago at 56yrs old due to fatigue and brain fog. After a few months on TRT I still wasn't feeling great and luckily found a doctor that understood the thyroid. All my thyroid lab levels were "within range" but...

To make a long story not so long . . . My primary care physician for over 30 years (until about 2 years ago when I FIRED her) would review my annual blood test results, and year after year told me everything was perfect because all values were 'within range'. And I didn't know any better at the...

My lipid profile is similar now to what it was pre-T3, but I no longer take Lipitor. So I feel pretty good about where things stand. Over the last year my LDL runs high and has been averaging 140 [60-99]. And my HDL runs low at about 55 [40-125]. But I'd rather live with those numbers and...

My before and after labs are here: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/hcg-and-or-pregnenolone-effect-on-cholesterol.19021/#post-157219 Before T3 I had pretty significant brain fog and I would get very tired in the afternoons. Those issues resolved after a few days on T3. I recall...

I've been on T3 for a couple of years and never had any noticeable side effects. I started as low as 10 mcg and as high as 50 mcg (adjusting along the way based on labs).

I tried Trazadone recently at the advice of a friend. He said 25mg lets him sleep soundly. I tried 25, then 50, then 75 and my sleep was still broken throughout the night (as is usual for me), I then tried 100mg which was the dosage my doc wrote it for and I did sleep well but was very groggy...

My nephew is 31 and tore his pec years ago while bench pressing. It's gotten worse and he is going to have it surgically repaired sometime this month and asked me if I thought he should supplement with Testosterone for a few weeks/months to speed up the healing. He's never done steroids of any...
