My experience: I use a combination of cream and test cypionate injections. On cream alone I was pretty good, but did notice some peaks and valleys. Adding the low dose cypionate in helped even that out and provides me a much better experience than cream or cypionate alone.

So AAS use is super dangerous huh. But somehow 18 year olds (whose endocrine systems are not even fully mature) wanting to use steroids in transition from female to male is not a problem? AAS users going to the gym to look better is a big problem, but legalizing marijuana is not? There are...

The stuff I use has MSM in the glucosamine and chondroitin. But it probably doesn't give me as much MSM as the single ingredient MSM. You've got me wondering if all I need is the MSM.

Your approach is probably what I would do as well. No way in hell I'm going to let them take my prostate out. That would almost certainly kill my sex life. My friend's dad had his taken out due to prostate cancer. Now he cannot get an erection and has to wear adult diapers due to incontinence.

That must be a relief. What product are you using?

I'm sorry, but just look at the most prominent vegan doctors. Gregor, McDougal et al. These pencil necks look like they are one fall away from breaking in two. Studies show that muscle mass is a huge benefit to a functional long life. And those "doctors" don't have much muscle. Maybe they...

I have used compounded cypionate (Empower brand) with a BUD date that was greater than 1 year past. I didn't notice any product degradation.

Yes, his big revelation was something called semaglutide. BTW, I have been reading here and there that overseas authorities are doing more enforcements as of late. It seems the FDA is not the only organization clamping down on things. The nanny state is going global.

FWIW In the USA, oral DHEA is very inexpensive as opposed to other forms. That would probably be the first item I would try.

IIRC cortisone acetate is what @Hormetheus used to supplement his cortisol production. How did you end up getting ahold of the stuff?

The way I am reading this, the only issue here is that we are measuring DHEA-S via bloodwork to see if our DHEA levels are good. The study is saying that it doesn't work like that...."and therefore serum DHEAS is unlikely to reflect bioavailable DHEA." Perhaps we need to be using an adrenal...

I am one of those that DHEA in the evening keeps me up at night. I take mine first thing in the morning

I had tendon pain for 1.5 years in my arms at both points where the tendon connects to the bicep and the forearm. I couldn't do any chin ups or arm curls at all. Too much pain. I'm 80-90% better after adding in MSM/glucosamine and collagen every day. I'd like to try nandrolone, but don't...

I had heard that kids were starting to use Immodium to try to get high and that at high enough doses bad things could happen. But I doubt that a whole slew of kids died. Meanwhile everyone else has to pay higher prices and suffer with those stupid blister packs. You can't even open them w/out...

Tell me about it. Here's another -- in your face -- situation brought to us by the FDA. I used to be able to buy a bottle of 96 Immodium pills for about $3-4. Well I can't anymore. The FDA mandated that Immodium now come in those individually wrapped blister packs. So now I can get a box of...

I fear you are right. I'm more worried about the compounded hormone issue, but they are both awful.

Thanks for chiming in Madman. I will be making an effort to remind DEFY use the EQ dialysis method next time they book my labs. They're still having everyone do direct immunoassay. I am assuming that Labcorp has EQ dialysis.

Another disaster brought to you by the nanny state. Thanks for the heads up Nelson

Big Pharma doesn't like competition.

"" Equilibrium dialysis methods are too complex for use in routine clinical chemistry laboratories."" Are they saying that we (everyday lab consumer) shouldn't be trying to get our free T measured by equilibrium dialysis at this point? FWIW: I'm with Defy. They still use the standard lab...

You got lucky. My neighbor ended up in the hospital after his Urolift. The doctor somehow nicked something in his urethra that wouldn't stop bleeding, which led to blood clots obstructing his flow. He was in a lot of pain bec he couldn't pee for many hours until the ER got him freed up. He...

I've got lots of diarrhea. Removing gluten didn't do anything for me. I'm starting to wonder if it is coffee that's giving me the trouble. I drink a lot of coffee so I don't know how I would even begin to quit drinking it.

Oh god yes. My wife gets really cranky any time I get the flu or am otherwise laid up. It works the same way every time I am out of commission. She gets all pissy about nothing and I have to remind her that I will get better. It's only temporary. I'm going to be fine. So yes absolutely...

Pretty impressive that your doc took the time on a Sunday to compose that helpful response.

Spot on. My wife told me that she wanted to get with me because I had lots going on when we met. That I had direction. I fairly regularly had to turn her down for dates cuzz I was either working or studying. All the other dudes had all the time in the world to be available to date her and...

Yes your experience is exactly what happened to me when I was on Armor thyroid. LIPIDS got better (lower LDL and higher HDL. My HDL reached 115 at its max) and SHBG increased (by around 15-20 IIRC, it's been 4 years). I also did not see any noticeable change in my free T3, T4 levels. Note...

Pre-emptive drama. Very smart. I'm wondering how you go about doing this. My technique is OK, not the most brilliant. I will start an argument with her, over something that I really could care less about. I let the argument go on for 3-5 back and forths and then I just stop participating...

Pretty cool. Where do you get the testosterone and what form does it come in?

FWIW I took 6.25MG Clomid 2 days in a row. The first day I felt a little wired and unsettled. The next day I was an anxious, paranoid mess. It was not a pleasant experience at all. After the 2nd day I never took another dose. Note: at the time I was on 120mg/week of T cypionate.

this accusation is very substantial. Had she been so inclined she could have caused serious harm to your career. All for what is an innocent and more importantly a research backed statement.

I guess that's good news for OP. He has high SHBG, so likely no NAFLD
