High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling
no specific reasons, self experimentation something I am good at lol (and burned myself couple times). i felt no difference. been taking 10k for about a decade, and recently lowered it to 5k. also no difference. my focus has been on full body sun exposure lately, with 1h at noon in the pool...- t_spacemonkey

High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling
yes ng/ml ofc. at 10k IU I reach 80ng/ml, at 5kiu 60ng/ml consistently via blood test. so again, 30ng/ml does seem strange as in 80k/iu daily would put me at 200-300ng/ml. i tried once to run 50kiu/d and was hovering around 150ng/ml.- t_spacemonkey

Cialis muscle pain
I would definitely NOT rest, unless there is an acute injury. when i delt with this in the past this would leave within 24-48h. very rarely i still experience mild nerve pain when i take 10-20mg cialis which I dont pay attention to tbh.- t_spacemonkey

Cialis muscle pain
you can also try Avanafil which is highly specific to cells in the penis not the back. drawback is price and short half life if thats an issue. maybe some of the indian pharmacies have it cheap- t_spacemonkey

Cialis muscle pain
this is complex and nobody truly understands it. hamstring pain could be related to your back which cialis works on by inhibiting pde5 and be secondary due to the sciatic nerve being triggered. wild guess. i used to have sciatic flareups with cialis, although since dealing with those did not...- t_spacemonkey

Should I switch to Defy?
its a matter of money. defy is great. my plan is to stick with them. if i ever run into an issue where i can't afford it (not looking that way now, not planning on it), i would not hesitate to run UGL Test.- t_spacemonkey

PT-141 Bremelanotide
i tried it, and felt like absolute shit. no libido boost but flushing+headache+weakness. melatonan 2 which is a cousin, worked 100x better for me, melatonan 2+sun....insane boost problem is you will turn dark, and since i tan dark quick already, m2 became over the top very quickly- t_spacemonkey

No feeling during ejaculation
not with selegline specifically, i have just general concerns with drugs which do have a long acting mechanism. doesn't it take like 6 months to recover from it? what if you got bad s/x you're in for a long ride?- t_spacemonkey

No feeling during ejaculation
I tried wellbutrin for zyn withdrawal (done it now without it). even at 150mg was anxious and felt like shit. don't have the issue with smaller doses instant release, something worth trying if XR is too much. seems like wellbutrin is one of the 'better' antidepressant meds out there- t_spacemonkey

anyone take TRT alongside mental health medications like Prozac(SSRIs) and Adderall or vyvanse?
my mental health improved massively on TRT. i tried some vyvanse and dexedrine for focus, and both of them mess up sleep and should not be taken daily, 2-3x a week max IMO. i would also highly advice against SSRI's. zombifying drugs, hell to get off after longer term usage. i've been taking st...- t_spacemonkey

i tried both armour thyroid 60mg and this NDT. I will stick with NDT as it seems to work as well, plus is a lot of cheaper and has a wider array of thyroid hormones. plus i pref cows to pigs.- t_spacemonkey

No feeling during ejaculation
it is complex for sure. i think the recomp effect is real, i would guess that it mainly has to do with calorie restrictions though and not thyroid up/down. on pure carnivore, which is the way to go with keto IMO, you just eat less. i had a hard time getting 2000cal in (at 3200 maintenance). i...- t_spacemonkey

if thyroid hormones do a better job why does tsh go up then, not sure you would think it would go down? have not seen good evince yet (openminded as always). my gym performance tanked hard on pure keto.

my TSH was 2.5 on keto, now it is more like 1.5 (doing loose saladino diet). i tested once after a 48h fast and TSH went to 5. since i was already on TRT, no personal exp. with test, but heard I believe saladino? i believe for optimal Th functioning you need carbs/sunlight, i dont recall the...- t_spacemonkey

No feeling during ejaculation
so many amazing responses here. i too noticed that orgasm sensation varies. while not low carb anymore, i had a bit higher libido and better orgasms on keto. in non TRT people low carb can tank both thyroid and testosterone. i feel like stress can definitely worsen sex. high cortisol.

Testosterone propionate supposedly the best ester?
only reason you would want to wait 8 weeks if you switch from Cyp to let it clear. prop reaches steady level by day 3-4 or so. my personal exp. is that I reach rough peak 4h post injection. 2h post it does not show at all. i do subq. i mentioned this couple times i think, but the swings with...- t_spacemonkey

IMHO berberine is beneficial if your diet is shit and you are pre-diabetic.

not difficult. grok AI gives you good instructions lol. need benzyl alc, regular carnitine (not any of the l- etc versions), distilled water - or just buy bac water, i know pharmacies in poland for ex. sell it. they key is to get good quality carnitine. you can buy all stuff in EU 100%- t_spacemonkey

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
no, 0.11cc is 11mg Tprop as most will be 100mg/1ml (even ugl ones i've seen) once the cyp clears your system, Tprop will take ~4 days to reach a steady state, but remember there will be variations in time of day when blood is taken. i personally reach the max 4h post injection- t_spacemonkey

Low ferritin but high iron levels??
here is how I personally would approach, first of all, if you not supplementing pregnenolone (not clear from your response), start with this before doing anything other changes for a week or so if you decide on Tprop I would start with exactly the same dose you do EOD. EOD with Tprop might not...- t_spacemonkey
