I appreciate the post and your insight. Is a CK/CPK test similar to a c-reactive protein test? I've had a few CK/CPK tests about 2 years ago.

Madman - I appreciate your post. Thank you! If I wanted to use HCG with my current protocol and not elevate the numbers. How much should I decrease the Test Cyp injections by? I wanted to inject about 700 IU's to 1000 IU's of HCG a week split into 2 injections around 3.5 days each.

And just like that... a few days off of Ibuprofen.... and no more nocturnal erections. Simply vanished. No libido.... and we're back to normal. It's mind blowing. Systemlord - Gut health seems to be fine. I have an appetite. Always hungry. That was an apparent freak accident a few days back...

Thank you for all the posts. I have been in slow motion since surgery. Mild swelling but recovering ok. I have something interesting to share while on medication from the hernia operation. My doctor wouldn't prescribe me major pain killers after the surgery. He prescribed 600mg of Ibuprofen...

Just had a quick in person appointment with my Endocrinologist about the low iron and low ferritin issues. In his exact words he said... "Apparently you're bleeding somewhere... there must be a loss of blood somewhere". I said would you like to help figure out what's going on? Well that's not...

Madman - I'm telling you.... I recover fine from donating blood. I always have. I even recovered from my last donation. Something weird is going on.... and I'm simply losing iron currently. Or iron isn't being absorbed properly. You are always very quick to jump the gun on a lot of your posts...

So I was able to do the other labs this morning. The results may take awhile? Sometimes they are so slow... but here's what I ordered TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Estradiol, Folate, Ferritin, Iron/Transferrin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Bioavailable Testosterone, SHBG

Yes Madman.... I do remember my thread. As days, weeks, and months have moved on I've learned a lot and I continually learn. I've learned that everyone's case is different with TRT. Sometimes lab reports are meaningless. We wait and wait and wait..... then we change protocol.... we're still in...

Thank you!

Just a question. When you're running thyroid related labs.... 1. Do you take your thyroid pill "as normal" in the morning when you wake up.... and then do the labs? 2. Do the labs first thing in the morning.... then take your thyroid pill afterwards? 3. It doesn't matter at all? Thanks.

Madman - With all due respect you come on strong with your posts at times. Insinuating I'm brain dead with TRT. I gain easily 4 lbs of water weight without the AI on or around 140mg of Test Cyp a week. It may not seem much to you or anyone else... but lugging around 4 lbs of water weight wears...

I just take 25 mcg of Levothyroxine every 24 hours based on what my Endocrinologist wants. I asked him to bump it to 50mcg.... I think my TSH could be dialed in better? He was ready to try it.... then changed his mind and said no. I don't do any other drugs... I don't smoke. I will drink...

Like I said numerous times. I believe there's something worse going on than just low Testosterone. But nothing has been diagnosed. I have tried for 3 months being on Test Cyp for 100mg a week. I feel like sh##. What am I supposed to do??? Just stay on 100mg of Test Cyp because Testosterone...

Madman - I always appreciate your posts. Life catches up with you. I understand what you say. I understand I have to be on top of things. Life has been super busy the last 5 months. If it's not one thing... it's another... and another. Already went to the lab.... those 2 labs are complete...

I appreciate all of your posts fellas. Yes... I was worried that maybe my Red blood cell count was running high. Last blood donation was October 19, 2021 Last lab drawn CBC was September 30, 2021 WBC 9.7 bil/L 3.5 - 10.1 bil/L RBC 6.32 tril/L 4.31 - 5.48 tril/L H Hemoglobin 15.8...

I had a consultation for hernia surgery on Friday February 18, 2022. The doctor confirmed that I had a hernia at the same spot that was operated on about 14.5 years ago. He said the Mesh Plug is coming undone and surgery is required again. While he was going over the steps for surgery I became...

I think the OP just wanted a "general reason" as to why it would happen. To be honest... we can post all the labs in the world.... and everyone still has an opinion... but no concrete facts as to why. Everyone's body is different lab report... or no lab report. Out of all the things in the...

lol I'll live with my ED... rather than do what that dude did. Wow.

I can't believe people follow this guy on youtube and believe him. He is just another snake oil salesman. I have spoken to this guy directly. He is a full blown liar. He said I should be taken 300mg Test Cyp (minimum) weekly to cure my ED... and he wanted me to pay for his advice.

I get intense leg pain when taking 20mg pill. It lasts for about 24 hours and it's intense. Pain is in upper quads but no lower back pain. When taking 7.5mg or lower.... there's no pain. Erections aren't that good unless you take around 20mg.

Great post. I feel the same way as you do. I haven't tried the B12 yet... but I've tried several different combinations in regards to low dosages of Test and Deca. Just Test alone. High dosages of Test. High Test and Low Deca. HCG 350IU every 3.5 days. Been on AI.... been off AI. It just seems...

Welcome to the forum! All of your symptoms sound identical to mine. I was about 37 years old when I felt something totally odd. I didn't go see a doctor for about 4 years. I thought having no erection was basically "normal aging". I've been on TRT for about 3 years now (44 years old...)...

I appreciate the post. Is there a company you trust in regards to HCG overseas?? The name that I used was "ZyhCGHP" Marketed by "German Remedies" Orange lettering and packaging on vial. Is there a way to tell if it's potent or working?? My doctor refuses to write a prescription for HCG. I can't...

These are all interesting posts. Did any of these progesterone treatments make a better erection or increase libido? My libido is tanked. Erection issues even when using Viagra 100mg. It feels like everything is in my head now? Totally psyched out. E2 is perfect... I feel that it's the...

When your meals are balanced and you are eating lean and still getting complexed carbs along with proper healthy fats... what more do you want? When your cholesterol levels are perfect... what more do you want? I don't see how a basic trace mineral is going to make you horny... or increase an...

I'm going to hope that it's my TSH. It was on the rise the last time it was checked but my Endo said he didn't want to raise the T4. I'm at 25mcg right. I have a feeling the TSH is high. But according to my doctor... not high enough to raise the T4 dose.
