So, once you get your hematocrit back down. I wonder if you should still do sub q but maybe just cypionate? I have read something not too long ago about how different people do differently depending upon the ester. I will look to see if I can find that

Ferritin that high to me looks like Dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome. Technically it is in range but they know that ferritin above 100 is associated with dementia, cardiovascular problems. Being younger, iron might be climbing up. Your thyroid levels free t3 total t3 look low but that is...

Are you Secondary Hypogonadism? The thing is,you need to test acth serum and am cortisol and get further evaluation. I hate that term adrenal fatigue as usually often times, people do not have adrenal fatigue, they have adrenal failure and it is either addisons or secondary adrenal...

Probably the IP6 was a huge factor as it is a chelator. Iron Saturation and Ferritin are the two big measurements in iron overload (hemochromatosis) Having a saturation above 45% with a ferritin of over 300 for a male meets that criteria. Yours is a mild form of that, as you do not quite...

Did your shbg change at all with the injection frequency?

I wish they would do the free estradiol with lc ms/ms hardly ever see that.

Are you taking .5 arimidex every day or 3 times a week? When are you going to retest that? What is is total testosterone now? What about shbg? free testosterone with equilibrium dialysis? Are you secondary hypogonadism? One thing that will cause major ed is low thyroid. What is your free...

So, as I have read to get this straight, correct me if I am wrong if #1 low shbg 20 and below seems doing smaller injection more often perhaps daily injections are best #2 Average SHBG 25 to 35 -range 2-3 times per week injections. #3 40 and up high shbg once per week? I will tell you my shbg...

I don't know if this is your post or not so I don't want to hi jack it . However, I will tell you with out a doubt low dose naltrexone can really stomp out those antibodies.

What is the group called on ********?

I felt ok before but It seemed like I didn't recover from workouts well . I am getting stronger now and seem to recover better. My other issue is long standing gynecomastia that really needs to be fixed and I actually think that made my issue with that worse. I don't know if I was not working...

I am not sure about ratios or anything like that but SHBG increases the half life of testosterone and estradiol. So, if shbg is elevated it would make total t and e higher . However, of course, that does not necessarily correlate with free usable estradiol . I am a little hesitant on saying...

I have noticed not only less AHI I notice the fit is better too. I don't know if I toss and turn more and uncomfortable with the ai. I did notice this affect to but some are anti ai and I was afraid to say anything.

So, you feel better on the prop compared to cypionate? Do you notice other things? less water retention or anything else?

Wouldn't danazol lower total testosterone because shbg increases the half life of testosterone? So , if we reduce shbg then it should reduce total testosterone and increase free testosterone. ?? Sex hormone-binding globulin regulation of androgen bioactivity in vivo: validation of the free...

I use danazol. with testosterone I take 25mg per day. It reduced my shbg from 65 to 30

Igf-1 is more of a nutritional marker than a growth hormone thing. So, you can raise igf-1 and have low growth hormone . If it were me, (I don't know but I am assuming you are Secondary hypogonadism) I would be looking for an endocrinologist that does growth hormone testing and treatment. The...

Underlying causes could also be genetic, deiodinase gene defects, any inflammation- could be HAshimoto's I suppose, to arthritis , can cause this , as well as low iron, low growth hormone, low testosterone, all make a huge difference in thyroid conversion

pooling, or reverse t3 are two separate topics. Pooling would be suggesting that the t3 is not getting into the cells and the free t3 levels is just "pooling in the blood" That is a stop the thyroid madness thing. I will say, Knowing people that went in for lab testing that have adrenal...

curious how adding in the Masterone at a low dose changed levels? shbg? testosterone free , estradiol etc? Huge impact?

So, dosing the every other day prop dosages (what is the dosage) and how did that compare to Cypionate injections in terms of estrogen, shbg, testosterone levels etc? Very interesting

Weird how many times, I see people with traumatic brain injury, tumors etc, have a bunch of mris and then one day- - all this stuff shows up on one. Make me wonder, were the other ones not the same quality, or was the guy reading them no good? I see it all the time. As far the cortisol, if you...

I am sorry i am so confused on who I was talking to ero first and then yours. I will have to get on a reg computer cell phone is too small

I think if it were me I would get more of a workup and maybe a mri to see why my testosterone is low 24 hr urine cortisol maybe or other provacative testing igf 1 would be another one sorry your having trouble

acth serum levels do not and as you should know anyone with secondary hypogonadism should have a full pituitary workup. a acth serum in the low 20s and a am cortisol below 15 should have probacative testinf according to the cleveland clinic. Most people that I know have sai or sometimes...

So ssris will lower thyroid levels and which in turn will increase the half life of cortisol that is why your cortisol level was Better. I asked you a question about how you tested your thyroid how many hours was your last dosage of thyroid meds before the thyroid was tested ? One cannot just...

By the way testosterone increases deiodinase activity, (conversion from t4 to the active thyroid hormone t3) so it would not surprise me am cortisol was lower on testosterone, thyroid increases the metabolic clearance of cortisol , so if thyroid is a little higher or lower it may change am...

So, based on studies and what I see anytime a acth serum is 35 or so and below along with a lower am cortisol (15 or below) that can usually mean Secondary Adrenal Insuficiency. For that you need a Insulin tolerance test or metyrapone stim. ActH stim test is the wrong test for that. you...

What you need is treatment and what that is in phlebotomies. The goal is to get saturation below 45%.

I use Discounted labs, I have used blt labs, ultra labs in the past for certain ones, I cannot find at discounted. Defining normal on am cortisol mine was between 8 and 11 or so (range 5 to 25) and I failed the Insulin Tolerance Test on both the cortisol portion and growth hormone portion. I...

If you took your thyroid the morning of the lab test before your lab draw , that is not accurate at all. You need acth serum and am cortisol and possibly other testing such as the metyrapone stim test to see if you have secondary adrenal insufficiency.
