You are going to have to provide more details. What makes you sure you have primary hypogonadism? This means your testicles cannot produce enough testosterone despite getting LH/FSH signals to produce more. So you would have had to have blood tests to show this type of problem. What are...

My main problem from supplements was very agitated sleep. But my baseline blood pressure kept moving up, and spikes up got serious, like 190/110. I felt like I had to pee more, and had a craving for things with calcium, like milk. **1) AREDS 2 **2) Boron (calcium borogluconate) 6 mg **3)...

Here is another cheaper way. Buy bulk power coq10, at amazon 100 grams of coq10 is $103 and represents 500 doses at 200 mg each. I haven't done the math, but it's usually cheaper buying bulk power.

You could do a lab test for coq10 just to see how much you might need. Life Ex currently sells such a test for $45. Assuming you have health insurance with a drug plan, your doctor might be willing to write you a prescription, then likely insurance would cover it. I would check with insurance...

Next time you do labs, I would run c-reactive protein. Because one doc said check for bleeding, you feel like something is wrong and ibuprofen seemed to help. It's a cheap test and will tell you if you are dealing with any inflammation or infections.

LOL, I asked that very question. In 2015, I saw Dr. Nieberberger about increasing my fertility, and also asked him what age his oldest client on testosterone was. He said one man just quit TRT at age 90. Sounds reasonable, I am going to think about quitting at 90. Craig Niederberger, MD...

This was Carlson tri-b with B-6, b-12 and folic acid with a small amount of calcium.

Overdosing progesterone for me caused Oscillopsia. Maybe not really Oscillopsia, but that is the closest I can come to what I was experiencing. I got this when either getting up from bed, or after sitting for a while in a car waiting for wife, then rising from semi-prone position. If i try...

Washout time after stopping progesterone cream? I started taking progesterone in June 2019 to help with sleep issues. Now my sleep issues seem to have been resolved (at least so far) I wanted to quit with the progesterone. It isn't giving me any problems I know about. Reasons I wanted to...

This could have been partially about coq10, but I don't think it's enough to account how serious this had gotten. I have been dealing with sleep issues now for at least 2.5 years, but in the last 3 months it had gotten much worse. Several nights I woke up with night sweats, the sheets were...

?? I looked up Unisom, it contains Doxylamine Succinate, an antihistamine. Are you thinking about something else? However, I did read that Chlorpheniramine, an old antihistamine, was also selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor. Is there something I am not seeing about Unisom? I read on the...

Old post, but my first take would be that 402 isn't high enough to really make a difference for you. Or maybe it would take 3-6 months to even make a small difference. I know when my total T was naturally 350 I had all the symptoms of low T. On trt usually I my total T is from 600-1500. I...

Joe, this is an old post of yours, but rather than nicotine, you should consider kratom. It is stimulating amd rases mood, and often used in asia for those doing manual labor. I just think side effects for kratom are minor while nicotine sides are more troubling. Side effects of kratom tend to...

You mean while I had the sleep issue? Because either what was causing the sleep problem or the sleep problem itself was also affecting blood pressure, as in quite high sometimes and bouncing around from normal to high. Now that still seems under control. One good thing, my short term memory...

I got the delta-8, gave it a try. It's a lot like regular cannabis, only less likely to get you high. Though take enough, you do get high. I don't yet know all about it, but the key difference seems to how strongly it attaches to the CB1 receptor. THC has a strong attachment, while delta 8...

I absolutely agree that adding supplements back one by one, give them a month, then go to the next is the best idea. But that would take 10 months, quite a long time, especially in this age of internet. I was hoping to add in a group of supplements, basing those I would only add one at a time...

Thanks, I never would have considered boron as affecting sleep. Did you try boron on it's own or were you taking both dhea and boron?

My sleep was really getting bad, up every 90 min, virtually nothing worked. In desperation, I stopped all supplements. So in a month, I was sleeping better. Not perfect, but at least I don't get up all the time. Side effects: It appears I bleed more when cut or do an injection, I feel a...

As others pointed out many on Clomid are disappointed with libido. I don't think the libido aspect of clomid has ever been studied, but it makes sense that this might happen. Clomid works by blocking estrogent senors in the body, however, estradiol in men is essential for modulating libido and...

I had gotten myself really screwed up with the issue of chronic and acute dehydration, and I had another "odd" blood test result. It so happened that I saw my primary care doctor on 2/19 and he did a comprehensive blood test which included PSA+%, then on 2/21 I did a psa+% which my urologist...

fwy, I ordered: Delta 8 Soft Chew - Passion Fruit with Terpene (Limonene)

I have heard about this, so I will give it a try. Right now, I have given up and got some ambien, though only 15 tabs, so when it runs out I will have to see what works. I assume the doctor didn't want me to get dependent on it. Though I have hacked my major problem, which surprisily was too...

I followed this issue closely back in the day. I owned stock off and on in the company that had the license for Nebido and got aveed approved. The company, Endo. Pharmaceuticals had the license for Nebido, but didn't really want to get it approved, as if it did get approval they would have had...

I recently did a blood test which included total T, I was surprised that my total T was 868 ng/dl. This was 12 weeks after injecting testosterone undecanoate. Typically I would have expected around 600 ng/dl. A few days later, I discovered I was seriously dehydrated. So I wondered, was...

I have one negative about using THC products and smoking / vaping for sleep. I often have problems staying asleep, but didn't have a problem falling asleep. Now I have tried smoking / vaping THC. Sure, it makes me fall asleep quickly. and I tend to stay asleep longer. But still get up often...

I started at age 58 and I am guessing my total T was ~350 ng/dl. But I am not sure what my total T level was at the time since the doctor didn't require a testosterone test. I did get a PSA / and EKG test. My guess is likely accurate, as at age 43 my total was 376ng/dl, subsequent readings at...

What is anyone's experience with how long before sleep to rub on progesterone cream? I was wondering how long it takes to absorb and when might be the peak level? (I did read through this sub, but most times posters just say something general like at night, I couldn't sus out the timing.)...

Effects of Fortetropin on the Rate of Muscle Protein Synthesis in Older Men and Women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32598445/ Conclusions: The overall magnitude of the difference in muscle protein FSR of Fortetropin from placebo was 18%, with multiple gene ontologies affected. This is the...

Nebido quickly raises blood serum levels, I can shoot nebido and if I do a blood test 7 days latter my level is easily above 1000 ng/ml. But it takes 20 weeks for the levels to stabilize, after the first shot blood serum levels will drop to say low normal after 40 days. After 20 weeks the...

Yes, you seem to overthinking it. If you aren't expecting insurance to cover TRT, then what do you imagine is the problem? It would be nice if your doctor supported your need for TRT, but it's not critical for the doctor to agree with your decision.
