Were your teeth so infected that they couldn't save them?

What effect is boron supposed to have on E2?

I was just wondering the other day how you were hanging in there at 60mg. But now it appears that you are off the sauce altogether. What are your withdrawal symptoms (aside from losing size)? Is your intention to quit TRT for good?

I for one tried the stinging nettle root and saw palmetto but didn't get any help from them. I haven't tried the metformin though.

He started using anabolics when he was 9???

Yes that's true. I momentarily forgot about that. Sadly pharma funds a lot of the 3 letter agencies as well. We might have to move to some other country to continue to enjoy the medical freedom that we have been accustomed to. I am very pessimistic about the direction our country has been...

I have to admit that I am having lots of trouble wrapping my head around this idea. It goes against a lot of conventional wisdom. So does this mean that the strategy of taking drugs that lower SHBG with the goal of increasing free T has always been a useless idea? That really the only way...

Thanks for the heads up Nelson. But dammit. Don't those fascists in congress have better things to do w/ their time?

You are free to do as you please, but I don't believe that the CDC is the most reliable purveyor of scientific rigor these days. You are also free to consume as many phthalates as you like, but I'm going to do my best to minimize that. We know that there are estrogen receptors all over the...

Do you usually dose in the morning, or is this your usual schedule? I find that dosing that late keeps me awake all night

Restricting BPA is a great first step. But what happens is that industry simply shifts to using a different bisphenol. Instead of BPA they use BPC or BPS. Some of these alternative bisphenols are even worse than BPA. They really need to take a more comprehensive approach to all endocrine...

Well known member @readalot has a cautionary story about this. I am going from memory here. But as I recall: he had a reasonable TRT protocol. He wasn't using super high doses. After being on TRT for several years. He noticed a decrease in athletic performance. He got an echo-cardiogram...

Forgive me if you have answered this question elsewhere. But what does your protocol look like now after learning of your echo results? If you ended up stopping TRT, are you thinking that you are off the sauce forever?

Looks like I've got some reading to do tonight. Many thanks for spoon feeding me this research. I do appreciate you posting it.

you mean diarrhea?

It was a very good interview. Definitely would be interested in hearing more from Rebecca and Nelson!

These studies are interesting and can def serve as a warning to potential users. What I dislike about these types of studies is that they usually say something like "AAS use/abuse is associated with (some adverse impact here)". To me it is super annoying that scientific articles are written...

I am late to this thread. But did your doctor give you any solutions for not hitting REM sleep for very long?

about time they passed something like this.

That's odd. Did the Caber make you more sensitive? Is that how you finished before even getting erect?

I had not heard that. I will have to do some more research on this. I got shingles when I was in my 20's and my doctor recommended I get the vax as soon as I was eligible when I turned 50. I didn't have any long lasting effects from getting shingles, but it was definitely not something I...

There is a vaccine for shingles that you ought to look into. It is 2 doses. I got it 2 years ago. Only side FX was that I felt fatigued for a few days

My BP is slightly high. Usually 12x/8x. It rarely goes into the 130's. As for other conditions, IDK. I don't have high blood sugar. I am at 10% body fat. My cholesterol is excellent. My total T and free T are always in range. What am I missing?

I disagree 100%. I get the same feeling he does anytime my HCT gets above 50. I've confirmed this multiple times.

Your LDL cholesterol is not too bad considering you are doing keto. My wife's LDL went from under 100 to over 200 on keto.

I get out-of-breath symptoms and do not tolerate exercise as well as normally.

Amen. Unless we do something those worthless corrupt bureaucrats at the FDA will take our meds away. I had not realized all the work that you had put into this. That sounds like a lot of time spent on this. So I thank you again. I doubt that anything like this would have happened had...

This is really slick Nelson. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for pulling that together. It makes submitting feed back very simple.

I don't know. But it sounds scary. I wish you all the best. Let us know if you come up w/ any answers.

Thanks for expanding on that. It's a lot to think about. I am carrying 20 pounds more than I was 5 years ago, due to weightlifting. My TT levels are troughing at 400-500, which means my peaks are way higher than I ever was natty. I am 58 now. I got tested when I was in my 40's. I was at...

Do I understand this correctly, you were diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction? And this was discovered by an echocardiogram? Can you tell me what kind of total T and free T levels you were running and for how long?
