What do you mean "like father like son"? And what did Dr. Saya think was going on?

When it gets to be time, I am going to see if I am eligible for Urolift. Supposedly it has fewer side fx.

Yeah, TURP is old school. What made you choose the holmium laser over green light laser or any of the other treatments?

Your fasting glucose is getting up there. You do not want to have glucose over 100. You are only 37. I would expect your glucose control to be better at this age. You will want to monitor this so that you don't walk yourself into type 2 diabetes. Two possible causes here: Poor sleep and...

You have apparently never visited the post finasteride syndrome forums. It's not a nocebo effect. I took finasteride for a mere 15 days and noticed that it messed me up. Stopped immediately but had lingering effects for months. Nasty stuff

Testosterone will have a favorable impact on your cholesterol.

Yes something similar with me. Not quite as dramatic tho. My resting HR went from 55 to 64-65 on cypionate. I'm not happy about it. But I would rather not quite TRT

I would trust the Armor over compounded. Armor is made in an industrial lab setting with rigorous quality control. The amounts used in compounded thyroid products are micrograms. Microgram amounts are so small as to nearly invisible to the naked eye. God help you if they screw up and give...

Sounds horrible indeed

What were your symptoms? And these symptoms were due to the elevated rebound E2?

I have a feeling I will be needing a BPH procedure in the near future. Does the orgasm feel the same w/ retrograde? And did you have to use a catheter after the operation?

I have taken Pycnogonol as well as other generic pine barks. Never noticed any benefit from any of them and I don't take them at this time.

I can confirm this about walking. It's the only exersize that I have found that slashes my weight while not increasing my appetite. I do over 15,000 steps a day, often times 20,000 per day. I actually have a hard time eating enough to stop from losing weight with the walking. I lift 4x/week...

I find protein to be quite easy to get. Eggs, cheese, bacon, beef, milk, peanut butter, all of them stacked with protein. I am eating a pretty low carb diet though.

I just submitted my comment to the FDA. Hope it helps

Yes switching needles does work. But I don't like how it wastes product in the syringe. I inject 3-4 times / week. That's a lot of lost medicine left behind in the syringe.

I don't know that it takes 5 mins to load. That's approx how long I go away for. It might be faster. It only takes 10-15 secs to inject depending on dose.

31 is slow but I use a rig like cataceous. You put it in the rig and go do something else for 5 minutes. When you come back the syringe is loaded.

My doctor wanted my D levels in the 80's and 90's. Two benefits. #1 better glucose control. #2 better blood pressure control. I believe him. But it still causes me concern to be that high. I've elected to maintain D levels in the 60's.

That's pretty solid.

If he barely gets an erection from 10mg, he is likely on safe ground with 20mg.

You said that you were on birth control pills to boost E2. My questions were: ** What BC pills are you taking and what dose? ** Why would you use BC pills instead of something like Clomid (which can also boost E2)

Nelson, I understood that you were going to create some kind of form letter that we could all copy so that we would create our own comments to the FDA. Is my understanding correct? That would be better for me in any event. Let me know if you had not intended to do this, so that I can start...

I am in the same boat. I always have too low E2. 2 Questions for you: ** What BC pills are you taking and what dose? ** Why would you use BC pills instead of something like Clomid (which can also boost E2)

As a natural, I also had E2 of 16 and had no adverse side FX. But while I am on TRT, anytime my E2 gets below 20 my joints start to ache. It's the strangest thing.

Good find Madman

Did you get any negative sides from having E that low?

I can tell you that TRT was a disaster for me UNTIL I added HCG. It was deceptive too cuzz I felt pretty good for 3-4 months on T only. But gradually after that I started to feel worse and worse as the weeks went on. After 10 months of T only I had to give it up. I just felt so terrible. But...

seems strange to me that only the men treated w/ T had a plaque difference based on waist/hip ratio. I would think that a higher w/h ratio would be bad for anyone, not just those on T

I'm working on it. The basic problem is that if I push my cypionate dose high enough to get enough E2, I feel overmedicated. If I drop my cypionate dose, I feel better, but I get the low E2 symptoms. I should probably make a separate post about it.

Interesting thought. BTW, I've tried the lower dose of T. That makes the low E2 much worse.
