Low T...ADHD...asthma. I wonder how many athletes have scripts that get them around doping bans. I've heard it's prevalent in college sports, not sure about pro leagues.

I don't know if I knew about that one, and now that I ordered cardarine, I almost don't want to know yet. I looked up a bunch of SARMS a few months ago, and today when I decided to finally try one, I thought I remembered that there were two for weight loss: cardarine and something else. And I...

Yeah, a lot of what I've seen is what you mention. Then occasionally I'll see something brief where someone will say "I got lean on cardarine" with very little explanation. So who really knows. I'll keep an open mind. I wonder if it making cardio easier is beneficial. What I mean is this: if...

I just started taking these a few days ago, and it's weird stuff. It's definitely too early to even try to tell whether it is burning calories. As far as appetite, I'm not sure if it is being suppressed or stimulated. My appetite is very triggerable (on AND off), so a lot of factors come into...

I actually used the search bar!!! And I found a few posts about cardarine! Of course, I didn't search before I started this thread, because that would make too much sense. But anyway, there wasn't too much posted about cardarine, so if someone who hasn't posted about it before has anything to...

I just ordered some. I've never taken any SARM (although cardarine is evidently a PPAR rather than a SARM). Has anyone here ever taken it? I'm not expecting all that much from it, as I haven't even found a lot of anecdotal motivation. But I would like to find a non-stimulant fat-burner and/or...

I know the answer is NO, but feel free to humor me. Has anyone tried this, or does anyone have a hypothesis of how it might be able to be done? I'm off trt and producing. I have an open vial with 8mlx200mg left. Could there be a sweetspot where I might get some benefit taking a certain amount...

I've been off trt for over three months and had blood work done at my urologist. They're using Roche now instead of LabCorp. One question comes up right away, and that's how the two estradiol methods differ. Because even though both labs use pg/mL, the reference ranges are drastically different...

Things definitely going over my head at this point, but for whatever it's worth, I plugged the variants into my 23andMe raw data. Only two of them turned out to have been tested. For rs9322336 I was T/T for build 37 and build 38 For rs2369049 I was A/A for build 37 and build 38. So if I'm...

Thats exactly what I want to know. It seems theres an overall uncertainty in the medical community whether the drugs themselves are causing certain symptoms regardless of e2 level.

I wasnt aware of that at all. I just might have to go back to daily afterall.

That’s a good point. As much as I’ve heard and read about ratio, I hadnt considered that it could cause low E2 sides.

So you have these symptoms without an AI?

Everything I've found online for forever regarding AI's and joint pain basically says that it is most likely due to low E2. I've been using Exemestane for a while now, and have basically been keeping my E2 at 40 and above, and I am having joint pain in a couple of areas. Being that my E2 is...

I used to use viagra for all sexual pursuits, and it always worked. Currently my protocol is working sexually, and I'm fully functional without viagra. Strangely, twice recently I decided to enhance the lovemaking-experience with viagra, and I could not attain full rigidity without maximum...

Fiber raises shbg, in turn lowering free test, regardless of whether your T is endo or exo.

I went on trt due to high shbg causing low free. Looks like you and I are on different ends of the shbg conundrum.

Yeah, it seems that SHBG, and therefore free T, is one thing that can be affected by external factors while on trt. I think the only thing I consume that can affect free T is a good amount of flaxseed meal. I'm assuming the effects are chronic rather than acute, so I'm interested in seeing where...

I know exactly what you mean - testing early to make sure you're on a good protocol numberswise, and then judging symptoms down the line.

I have bloodwork coming up, and I want to confirm something. As far as I understand, nothing should affect my total. Sleep, sex, exercise, etc. should not come into play. I just want to confirm that, because I still come across a post here and there where someone will point to one of these...

I didn't think to mention this, but there were two significant changes during the lead up to the last lab results. I can't find anything online that suggests either should've affected my E2, but maybe someone here knows something different. One is that I started taking adderall, 10mg daily. The...

^ Yup, same.

This was after about four weeks on the current protocol, and is the last test I got until the current one.

One question about the FT assay I'm using. Is it simply giving me a less accurate reading than ED or ultra, or is it randomly inaccurate? What I mean is this - I've been assuming that even though the assay is not perfect, it is proportionately correct to itself one reading to the next, meaning I...

Even though I was talking about the vaccine and trying to figure out if it or low E2 might be causing my joint pain, until you posted I didn't even consider that the vax may have affected my hormones. Who knows. I wouldn't be surpirsed. I'm paying out of pocket for bloods except for when seeing...

I don't know what to make of these results. I've got crazy high total and E2, with average free. I think I can rule out my protocol having anything to do with my joint pain, so that's a positive. And like I had said, sexually I've been good, which was my whole reason for trt in the first...

Someone shoot me now...

Through Marek Health, I have been going to LabCorp and using the same assays that my uro uses. My plan was to stabilize my free and E2 around 25 and then get the equilibrium dialysis assays done a couple of months later (unless I was feeling really good). By late May weekly bloods were coming...

I tried that and just couldn't get it right, but I might have to try again.

Good point. A lot of people say its a good number, and it felt good for me, but it makes sense that the more time spent at a number, the more thorough the effects will be. I could've felt fine at 25 for several weeks, while it was slowly taking its toll on me. If that's the case, my next labs...

About a month ago I got my second Pfizer covid shot. I felt a little sick for about four days. I recovered, but I noticed a few days later that my joints don't feel right. I googled and saw a lot of cases of this being a lingering effect from the vax, so I figured there's not really much I could...
