I’ve got a follow up in Santa Rosa Beach on Thursday with one of his nurse practitioners. I saw Dr Hansen initially, she wasn’t bad.

I did an IM injection last night. I was pole vaulting all night under the covers.

I'm trying not to fall asleep in between patients and reading through the rest of the forums. Something's got to give. I used to pop 200mg caffeine every morning but stopped a month ago when I started to get desensitized.

I don’t have a problem returning to IM. Subq is definitely more comfortable as I was injecting in my thighs with a 1” 25g. I currently go with 5/8” 28g for the subq. I know that’s a little bigger than most go with, but I haven’t had any issues.

TSH 2.2uIU (0.45-4.5) T4 5.1ug/dL (4.5-12.0) T3 free 3.1 pg/mL (2.0-4.4) TPO <6IU/mL (0-34) I do lift 3 days a week with squats, bench, rows, deadlift, and overhead press. It’s a 3x5 regimen. I’m making decent strength gains. I’m 6’3” and weigh 240. I’ve been lifting for about 14 months and...

I also forgot to mention that I suspected that my E2 was high because I’ve found myself getting weepy at the chick shows my wife watches. I could just be a sap too.

I finally got a comprehensive set of labs done. I’ve been on T now for 8 months and I’ve been dealing with moderate fatigue and bloat for several months now. My pre T free T was 4.8pg/ml (6.8-21.5). I didn’t have anything else drawn. My urologist put me on 300 mg IM q2 weeks. At the 3 month mark...

You're producing more sebum due to the T. It's normal. It's only the extra accumulation of the actively live and dead skin cells caught up in a big ball of grease that can't quite make to the surface. This is like a buffet for bacteria. Voila, big ole painful cyst. Antibiotics can help for...

I didn't care for it with the unflavored almond milk. It was ok but not to my personal liking. It probably would be better with a little honey or stevia mixed in to sweeten the almond milk.

What will you mix it with? I love ON Gold Standard French Vanilla Cream. I mix it with Fair Life chocolate milk and it’s pretty damn delicious.

The biggest gains I made in mass were Pre-T. I know they were mostly newbie gains but I put on 2 inches of mass in my biceps and thighs and 3 in my chest. Unfortunately, my waist is still the same. I am trying to get my hormones dialed in and will have labs drawn this weekend.

Do you think the glutamine is necessary for recovery? I haven’t lifted without using any of the above supplements since I started last year. I’ve had little to no issues with DOMS or any injuries that have kept me from lifting more than a week or two. I don’t know if it’s been the supplements or...

I forgot to mention the T of course. I also take an omega 3, 6, 9 complex capsule twice daily. I'm looking to be more conservative if I can. All that crap adds up after a while. I don't mind taking it, I just don't want to be throwing cash out the door.

I'm curious what supplements the weight lifters here use. I've only been lifting a little over a year but have made decent newbie gains in strength and size. After reading nearly everything could from the weight lifting websites I decided on taking only the following: BCAA, HMB (I'm 45)...

I’m new here on the forum and posted a hello in the intro. Hello again. My question to all with experience is what are rational expectations to have regarding TRT. I’m 45 and my quest began 8 months ago with a visit to the urologist after seeing my pcm. I was complaining of fatigue, weight gain...

My wife and I are going to see him in a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any experience with him or his staff?

Thanks. Is that the Defy rate through Empower or is that the actual cost?

I couldn’t find what I was looking for in the general search, so here’s my question. What seems to be the average cost of the commonly prescribed meds with Empower pharm?

Sorry I had to break it up into another section. My history of labs is spotted at best between being seen with the VA and by my private FP. I was curious a couple of years ago when I was 41 and had my T tested by the VA. The total was 625ng/dL (250-1000) and the free was 76.9 pg/mL...

I just wanted to say brief hello to everyone on the forum. I've been reading off and on for the past couple of weeks and decided to become an official member. There's a ton of great well-researched information on here. Not to mention all of the anecdotal info from the informed members. I...
