So the family and I will be going on a road trip soon, and there will be days where my testosterone vials will be sitting in the car for a full 8 hours while we're exploring amusement parks and such. Is there any issue with this? If so, any tips to deal with it? Would it be better for it to be...

Gotcha. I have no idea...I've had bizarre muscle pains like that but from overmethylation, not necessarily from creatine (although whenever I used it when I was overmethylated, I was extra achy and up ALL night). Edit: small doses of creatine also give me side effects.

I was starting to wonder if it was rhabdo!

Just came in to say every time I come off telmisartan, my hct and hgb go way up. I'm just staying on for good.

I've wondered this too. Can i be hyperthyroid with normal numbers?

I thought they said the answer to t3 pooling was more hydrocortisone...?

Well, I haven't changed much else, but continued this 500mg calcium ascorbate vitamin C twice per day. And still wake up at 1am or so to pee, but fall back asleep twice on average, sleeping until 4:30am. So, about 7 hours total last night.

How much vitamin C do you take per day? For years, I took 6g and slowly went down over the years, but this past week was only getting 200mg or so, then the real sleep problems at 3am started. Last night took an extra 500mg before bed and at least was able to fall back asleep a few times. I'm...

Gotcha. Please post up anything helpful you find!

Been stuck awake since 3:30am the past 3 days now and it's getting to me. Been at 7 to 8mg for about a week...will try 6 to 7mg. Hoping that's all it is.

I should've also aid I was on hydrocortisone at 20-30mg daily for several years, then I moved and found a new endo that took me off it and my levels went up to "normal". I've had covid and flu and stuff since coming off and plenty of other stressors that haven't put me in adrenal crisis, so I...

No, not much change and I never had low body temp until I started messing with methylated vitamins. At this point, I'm staying on the thyroid medicine because I've been on it so long that I'm sure my natural production is gone.

I don't even remember, but they weren't that bad, just not optimal.

I see. I'm on t4 Mono also. I wonder if pregnenolone would apply here.

How did your raise it?

My 8am cortisol is 10. It's in the normal range but in the low side. Should this be tested further?

Right, it reads "not analyzed" or tested or whatever. Pretty lame.

I need this. My DOMS is excessive and recovery prolonged with good test levels and nutrition.

Interesting thread. Subbed. I have comt mutations, but 23andme didn't test for Mao mutations...unsure why.

Do you monitor your potassium intake, or blood levels? I see that we're not supposed to supplement with potassium while on these, but what's the difference batten using a couple hundred mg potassium in a supplement vs drinking a glass of OJ, or a few tbsp of nutritional yeast? Or am I...

I've found this also. Trying to bump to 8mg daily and in a few days I get this same symptoms he described.

Yeah, it's good. Finally. Total T is only 465, but I'm more concerned with free T and hct. Finally making gains in the gym again.

I'm on 7mg daily, so 49mg per week and free T is 117, on range of 35-155. Doing pretty well with this. Any more and I get anxiety over dumb stuff.

I agree with System Lord...dose is likely too high. I'm doing well on 7mg daily test cyp.

Gotcha. Yeah, I can't explain why my hct is so high on such a small dose. No sleep apnea either.

Both. I do delts, VG and hip fat.

Thanks. I've been on TRT at varying doses for almost 8 years. At that dose, is your free T higher than mine?

Wait, I'm not sure why you said my peak and trough are almost identical. I only posted a rough trough (18 hours after draw, 6 hour before next shot). Sorry to hear 7mg didn't work for you. Low dose daily is pretty easy and hasn't mattered if I miss a dose or 2 once a week.

I'm 8 weeks in to 7mg test cyp, after being on 5mg daily for months (thinking Testosterone was my insomnia and other symptoms cause). I'm pleased with these free test levels. Getting stronger in the gym too. When should I retest to ensure my hgb and hct doesn't keep climbing up...

Rarely here too and I'm only injecting 7mg daily. The one from Wednesday got me good though.

Any of you daily subq or shallow IM users get PIP ever?
