    My start on NDT

    How is my RT3 on the high end? My reverse T3 went from 9.1 to 9.8 range (9.0-27) . Read healthy levels seem to always be in the bottom 2-3 numbers? I feel to be on the safe side too, to continue at the same doses for iron supplementing. I decided to try the extra selenium pill, so I will be...

    Can apple cider vinegar help with weight loss?

    I drink a little every other day. I can drink it mixed in OJ. I've read it makes your system more alkaline instead of acidic. I can confirm with a piss strip test I take every so often it raised me from 6.0 to 7.5 (give or take a little), being more towards alkaline.

    My start on NDT

    I've been following that thread since you started it. Hope you find what works for you Vince. I'm thinking my problem is I need to raise my dose again. I've read from the two other thyroid sites that are referenced here a lot that staying on a low dose to long can cause problems. In my case if...

    My start on NDT

    Figured I'd start a new thread involving my journey to fix my thyroid issues to help others cause I know I'll be asking questions, so others can read and learn too. I left off with thyroid discussions on the last few post here to get up to speed here (other members had good info, worth reading)...

    Sleep apnea and RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit numbers

    Forgot to update. I had the appointment with the Dr. a few weeks ago. I explained why I felt I may have sleep apnea and showed him my blood work. He asked me a bunch of questions and looked inside my mouth to see if I had a narrow air way. He felt there was a very small chance I have it based...

    My bad experience on Cialis (Tadalafil)

    Ive taken nitric oxide supplements before and never had any pain, let alone the pain I experienced using Cialis. So I'm not sure if that's the case for me or others here.

    My bad experience on Cialis (Tadalafil)

    That doesn't sound like fun. I agree its not worth the money in my case. I also don't feel like dealing with that pain till my body adjust. Which wouldn't surprise me if it never would. I don't think I could have handled the pain much longer, was only getting worse.

    My bad experience on Cialis (Tadalafil)

    Didn't have ED problems, I noticed reading here a few guys use a small amount to get a good pump in the gym. I figured a bigger pump sounds nice and was curious if it could make my hard on's even harder lol. So nothing, I threw the rest in the garbage. Gave my no advantage in exercise...

    My bad experience on Cialis (Tadalafil)

    The pain only started after a few days of starting the pill. It also started going away a few days after stopping the pill. So I think it's safe to say the pill caused it. I also never felt this type of tightness/pain in areas mentioned before. I'm 37 btw. Thanks for the heads up though. I...

    My bad experience on Cialis (Tadalafil)

    So I decided to try Tadalafil troches 25mg (Cialis) on my last order. Didn't have ED problems, I noticed reading here a few guys use a small amount to get a good pump in the gym. I figured a bigger pump sounds nice and was curious if it could make my hard on's even harder lol. Started at a 1/4...

    Negative issues with TRT..How many of you?

    I had negatives from the first place I tried so i searched out info and found a different place. After learning a lot here I realized the second place was clueless too. Luckily from being here I heard about Defy and just recently joined them.

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    The 90mg a week protocol was at the first clinic i went to. Id go to them every Tuesday for my 90mg shot in my butt. That was it, no AI or HCG.

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    I feel your right also that most men feel more is better. I was one of them till Madman and others continued to knock sense into me. I'm still not knocking people who choose to be on a higher dose though as long as they feel good and vitals are all good. This thread just proves some people...

    What brand of Testosterone do you use?

    Thanks for the link, I will check it out. As far as your question, no I never tried. Only insulin syringes I have are for my HCG which are too small. I did try to use my 25g injecting needle once to draw to see how it would be. I felt I was watching paint dry lol, but that's because I'm using a...

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    To back up what Madman is saying I started TRT at 90mg of test C a week. That took my pre low trt levels and crashed them even harder. pre trt TT 281 (249-836) FT 55.68 (35-92.6) I'm low shbg hence better FT #'s Starting trt @ 90mg a week (7 week labs later) TT 147 (249-836) FT 6.23...

    What brand of Testosterone do you use?

    Has anyone had problems coming from oil based to grape seed? Iv'e been on WestWard brand test C since I started trt. But now that I'm with Defy I know I can now switch to Empowers compounded Test C in grape seed and save some money. Wondering though if I would be taking a chance and should just...

    Sh1973 Curious how active you are? Do you exercise or go to the gym? Also are you in your 40's (guessing based on 1973). Asking cause I find all this interesting.

    Most up to date HCG/AI dosing/timing protocol

    I'd drop the AI and did you ever look more into your thyroid? You will need to get more thyroid labs done to really get a better picture though. Go over to the thyroid section and start reading. I'm sure more experience members here will chime in about it.

    Hello, new member here. Questions about my start so far on TRT

    Forgot to update: Had my Defy consolation last week. Really glad I switched to them. Very friendly and well informed people. As far as my trt protocol, he said I can leave it how it is. I was tempted to ask about going to everyday shots since I'm low shbg but felt knowing I was going to start...

    Change injection frequency or not?

    I agree, just putting it out there as a option if it fits his or others lifestyle. I'm sometimes off by a couple a hours on the wed and Friday shot. Personally feel it doesn't effect anything.
