There's also the factor that both in my experience and due to the nature of how T releases from the ester, it is somewhat easier to judge symptoms when you are increasing the dose than when decreasing since an increase in dose will always increase levels in the body, while a decrease may still...

Yes. Little to no downside, and significant upside even if it is just to rule something out. Also, even though omeprazole doesn't appear to be anti-cholinergic (which would be a big clue if it was) figuring out the underlying problem and stopping it at least for a while seems prudent. The docs...

I would not jump to the conclusion that your issues are hormonal. For example, your symptoms are very similar to someone I know who had Lyme disease. It could also be something in your environment like mold, but those are just two examples of what could be caused by many things. Do you have...

I could never get consistent sleep when I was really low carb. Your sleep episodes sound like low blood sugar episodes. You can try a large spoonful of glycine before you sleep, or possibly a spoonful of quality honey (e.g. buckwheat). I do use melatonin but that will wear of after a few hours...

I believe they interfere with each other (one blocks the absorption of the other) so it is best to take them separately. That said, I only supplement zinc when I am fighting a cold (which is hardly ever) because zinc can block aromatase and I have very low estrogen. I also eat beef at least...

You can also buy transdermal creams at karenmartel.com and likely elsewhere. I don't believe Dbol converts into the same type of estrogen so the answer to your question is probably not ,but worth a try if nothing else works.

In general, low level allergies can cause your symptoms . I had similar issues with whey protein. I think chondroitin is sourced from shellfish so if glucosamine is the same way, then perhaps that is what is going on. Or there could be something in the binders and fillers. There is always...

I've been on HCG for 6-8 years or so. No issues I am aware of although there is at least clinic operator who thought that the body can develop an allergy to it with lng-term use, and that breaks are a good thing. I have been using clomid when I travel to take a break, but overall I'm not aware...

Probably Multi-Vitamin, which makes this a good time to point out a few of the problems with MVs. - Wrong/incomplete forms: for example, Vitamin E is is usually just alpha tocopherol in MVs - Low dosage, for example magnesium, potassium, vitamin C and D - Conflicting nutrients, for example Zinc...

Most people are low in all of these, unless you work as a lifeguard, and maybe not even then. You want 50 or higher for Vitamin D. I'm not sure the units on the others but if you're not supplementing you're likely low, and there's no real risk of overdose. You also need to take Vitamin K2 with...

I would star with no more that 100-300 micrograms. The commonly used doses are way too high IME. There are other threads here about it and Peptide Sciences carries it.

IMO, no., you should not be concerned except to try to get trigs down a little bit. But you should always look for ways to increase your heart health. As far as cholesterol goes, other things are far more important, such as avoiding blood sugar spikes and keeping fasting insulin down. I strongly...

You might also look into nitric oxide supplements via pills (I uses N1o1) or beet root powder. PT-141 my also help.

I'm know I'm not answering your direct question, but you might want to investigate the podcasts of Dr. Elizabeth Yurth at boulderlongenvity.com and Dr. Suzanne Ferree in Alphareta Ga. They are both quite knowledgeable on Peptides for women and Dr. Yurth has an extensive orthopedic background. I...

Under-eating is also something to rule out. Beyond all the above, changes in your relationship(s) are also something to consider. Libido has a lot of under-appreciated, difficult-to-control factors such as pheromones that may be in play in some way.

It's hard to say whether the issue is the drug or chronic under-eating, which in itself is well-known to crush libido. It would be interesting to know if libido returned once people are of the drugs and at some sort of steady state condition.

That would do it. In any event you should review the things that can falsely elevate PSA.

Prostatitis is IIRC the term you want to search for. I don't know too much about it but I know people and have heard of people resolving prostate issues by fixing an infection that you would not have sensed systemically. Dr. Gundry mentioned on one of his podcasts that he resolved his enlarged...

Step one with PSA is always retest, making sure that you didn't do anything like ejaculate or go for a recent bike ride that would create a falsely high number. Infection is also something to rule out. The same thing happened to me but it came right back down.

People with Tendon issues may want to listen to the Tim Ferriss podcast with Keith Baar. It is very tendon- centric and omits things like DMSO which are essential first-line go-to's IME, but it has a lot of interesting information about tendon health and injuries. For example, apparently ACE...

It sounds like you are on a good path, although I stopped consistently using the Hydrogen Peroxide rinse as it may be excessive. Holding C BD oil in the mouth seems to help me. The trick seems to be finding things that kill the bad bacteria and leave the good bacteria there and Silver...

I've only ever used the injectable. Some people ake their own nose spray but I see no reason since the injectable takes hours to have an affect. There are other things you can try also to boost the effect of PDE5i's such as Nitric Oxide tablets. I use the ones froirm N1o1.

First, I agree with Funk. Chronically high blood sugar will destroy your body and even if something on the ED fronts works, it won't for very long until you get your blood sugar under control which there are many ways to do. Beyond that, DHEA is helpful for some people, and I am a big believer...

I agree with Vince that looking into things like chronic infection or gut micro-biome issues, both of which could cause your symptoms, is a good place to start. The issue with recovering your production is that 1) something that works for most people may not occur for you, and more importantly...

Also, you need to get a BP measuring device and take multiple readings throughout the day. A single reading, especially in an unfamiliar setting is notoriously unreliable. And step one for blood pressure is to make sure you're getting plenty of potassium.

I think most here would agree that there are almost too many issues with your protocol to list. Are you dependent on insurance, and if not, have you considered a Telehealth provider who specializes in Hormones such as Defy? In the meantime, a protocol to consider would be to drop the T to 60mg...

How much did you use? More than 300mcg is unnecessary and a potential problem IME, however it may just not be for you.

Immune function alone suggests everyone should have a vitamin D level over 50, so other benefits are a nice bonus.

The problem I see with the SARM category is that there is not the body of evidence, either from studies, analysis or crowd-sourced reports that exists for other AAS. They certainly have an affect, however their risk/reward profile is not as well understood. Perhaps that will start to change...

I had never heard of this but will try the ingredients before my next blood test since my HCT went up for no apparent reason. Lumbrokinase is supposedly much stronger than Nattokinase so I will try that as well. Interestingly (to me) according to Dr. Kendrick ( in his book The Clot Thickens) ACE...

Several ideas...you may want to experiment with DHEA and PT-141 or Melanotan-2 (if you do not get frequent sun exposure) as both of these can enhance libido in some people. Do your research but if you try PT/MT I strongly recommend a starting does of no more than 300 micrograms 3 times per week...
