Good for you tad1979!

Thanks for posting this Vince!

Yes madman I would not have expected DHEA to have the effect it did on me and according to my labs I already had high DHEA levels. The next guy could take it and have opposite effects. Go figure.

LifeExtension 25 mg. Got it from Amazon. I honestly don't know why it worked I just know it did. Labs didn't seem to change much but life sure did!

DHEA did several things for me. 1) Boosted Libido. 2) Turned me from a grower into a shower. 3) Turned on nocturnal and morning erections - which had been absent for at least two decades. 4) Mostly cured my stubborn ED. Previously I could not get erections unless I used trimix. Viagra and...

Thanks for posting this!

I've done quite a bit of experimenting and perhaps what I say will sound careless to some, but all this fretting about subQ or IM, injection timing, location, and so on seems to me a big distraction. If you have valid reasons to avoid one or the other, then do what works for you. I find that my...

I eat a handful of almonds daily. SHBG is 25.2.

Glad it worked out okay for you. That formulation sounds exceptionally strong. 30 mg papaverine is more typical. I hope your future experiences are more manageable and of course enjoyable.

Trimix comes in different strengths and ratios, depending what your doctor described. I used to inject 5 units of 40/30/2 and that was good for at least 3 hours. 10 units may have put me in the emergency room. It can't hurt to start off at a very low dose and titrate up as needed.

I have used it for a couple of years now. No problems.

stx359 I started to develop peyronies about 6 months after starting trimix. I have no way to know if trimix was causitive or if it was contributory to the peyronies or if it was just coincidental. Eventually I could not get reliable results with trimix due to the excess tissue buildup - so I...

Yes you should definitely feel the needle break through into the cavity. If not, you probably aren't getting through the outer layer. I used a 30 ga 1/2 inch needle when I was on trimix. At first it was effective but after a while I developed peyronies and the associated tissue buildup. At that...

Yes the history of the medical profession is littered with similar falsehoods. For example, salt is the cause of hypertension. Just stop eating salt and you're cured! The field of nutrition is even more confused, and then when we get to hormone replacement, then wow! We're almost in uncharted...

Following the ADA diet will guarantee that you remain diabetic or get worse and the AHA diet will guarantee that you are not cured of heart disease. Clearly the foundations on which those diets are built is faulty.

I have not had any nausea or diarrhea though I always combine HCG and T.

Thing is, most of the symptoms associated with high E2 in men are also listed as symptoms of low E2. It just depends on which list you look at. I have not seen a definitive study or a peer-reviewed paper which clearly and accurately identifies low E2 and high E2 symptoms in men. As a result, you...

The key is to find a routine you can and will stick with. For me that includes combining T and HCG in the same injection. Theories are great but sometimes practicality wins out.

Mike9876 when I crashed my E2 I didn't know about DHEA or other E2 remedies and so I just waited till it bounced back. It took 30 days before I noticed a lessening of the symptoms, 60 days till I knew I was recovering, and 90 days to return to my previous level. A year later I started taking...

Yes definitely. Crashed E2 and serious night sweats go hand in hand. I can testify to this from personal experience confirmed by labs. I don't know if high E2 can cause night sweats or hot flashes but low E2 definitely can. It's the same in women. PMS and menopause are associated with low E2...

Thanks! I will be very interested to see what happens next. :)

Why do you say you know you need it? Is that based on labs? Past symptoms? Your doctor's preference? Just curious.

You got good advice from Vince and the others here. Goes to show that changing your regimen without the proper labs can really mess you up! I had the same shakiness (along with other symptoms) when I crashed my E2. Even though it's not been fun you'll learn something from this experience. I...

I have been very pleased with the telemed service from Defy and have received far better care than I did from any local doctor and also far better care than from a previous hormone replacement clinic that I used. From my perspective telemed is superior to personal visitation because you can...

No matter what you decide to do, you won't know for sure until you try. We all respond differently. But even when guided by labs it can be difficult to assess the results unless you change only one thing at a time and then stick with it long enough for things to settle in. Then if it doesn't...

That's fabulous Vince! Just a data point: 2.5 years ago my HBa1C was 13.0. I started taking 2000 mg of Metformin per day and also 40 mg. of Glipizide. After 6 months my HBa1C went down to 10.5. Doctor wanted me to start insulin but I balked. I went on the ketogenic diet and my HBa1C came down...

That's as good as any description I have heard. When it is high you can't get the thought of sex out of your head until you get it. Afterward the thoughts come back very quickly and the tiger is pacing again.

Some report feeling something quickly. It was many weeks before I felt anything at all even though labs showed a big difference. Each of us is different and like others have mentioned there are other factors involved.

1) I like the way the top menu remains at the top of the screen as you scroll down. That way it's quick and easy to click "What's New" without scrolling back to the top. 2) I also like that the page scrolls to the first unread post when you click on a thread you've already viewed. In the old...

My wife is a nurse and they are taught aspiration in school. But she never actually does it. I have been self-injecting for 2 years and never aspirated and never once had a problem. Wife says aspiration is perhaps more applicable if you were injecting deeply with a big needle in an area with...

I agree. Wait for your consult with Defy. If no symptoms then don't take the risk of the mess that an AI can potentially bring you. My personal experience is that high estradiol symptoms are usually milder and more tolerable than low estradiol. Low E2 can mess you up big time! At 20.8 you're not...
