    High hematocrit , low ferritin . What to treat first ?

    My BP is slightly high. Usually 12x/8x. It rarely goes into the 130's. As for other conditions, IDK. I don't have high blood sugar. I am at 10% body fat. My cholesterol is excellent. My total T and free T are always in range. What am I missing?

    High hematocrit , low ferritin . What to treat first ?

    I disagree 100%. I get the same feeling he does anytime my HCT gets above 50. I've confirmed this multiple times.

    HUGE DROP IN LIPID MARKERS - why?

    Your LDL cholesterol is not too bad considering you are doing keto. My wife's LDL went from under 100 to over 200 on keto.

    Nelson Vergel is Seeking Input: Tell the FDA to Stop Attacking Compounded Hormones

    Amen. Unless we do something those worthless corrupt bureaucrats at the FDA will take our meds away. I had not realized all the work that you had put into this. That sounds like a lot of time spent on this. So I thank you again. I doubt that anything like this would have happened had...

    This is really slick Nelson. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for pulling that together. It makes submitting feed back very simple.

    What are the side effects of high testosterone?

    Thanks for expanding on that. It's a lot to think about. I am carrying 20 pounds more than I was 5 years ago, due to weightlifting. My TT levels are troughing at 400-500, which means my peaks are way higher than I ever was natty. I am 58 now. I got tested when I was in my 40's. I was at...

    What are the side effects of high testosterone?

    Do I understand this correctly, you were diagnosed with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction? And this was discovered by an echocardiogram? Can you tell me what kind of total T and free T levels you were running and for how long?

    I have a UroCuff Test in a few weeks

    Thanks for the reply. I am indeed waiting as long as possible before having any procedure. I already take Flomax and Cialis. And I'm not a big fan of the Flomax side FX. I think you are right about going w/ the one that the doc does the most. And my guy does a lot of Urolift. I live in a...

    How long Does HCG Remain Fresh?

    I saw a similar study. It was commissioned by the military who was losing money due to expired meds. "With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both...

    I have a UroCuff Test in a few weeks

    How was your Rezum procedure? Were you unconscious for the procedure? What was you experience after the procedure was done? Any Pain? Any lingering side FX? I am likely to have a procedure done in a few months. I am eyeing Urolift. My urologist does Urolift and Rezum. He said that he...

    How long Does HCG Remain Fresh?

    I get 12,000 vials from Empower and it lasts months and months. I do not use very much in my protocol. I don't notice any potency degradation over time.

    Hcg and joint pain help

    I've not had that issue. But I wouldn't be worried about messing something up. You should be able to go back to baseline just by ceasing to take HCG anymore.

    Wife is starting T Cream

    What do you mean reset T? I personally have not heard of any difficulty in assaying female T levels, just because they have a lower concentration. My wife had her T tested and the lab results came with a lower range indicative of a female.

    I need knowledgeable opinions on crazy side effects on 100Mg a week TRT.

    Can you do me a favor and check AllDayChemist again. I am not seeing HCG on their site anywhere. I will not rule out user error here. But I am not seeing it. Scratch that. I did a better job of searching. They have something called Foligraf that looks to be HCG, but they are sold out.

    How many like/dislike effects of HCG?

    I'd call them up and ask. Since HCG is a prescribed med, it seems likely to me that they would want to register you as a patient and require you to do a consult with the doctors on staff at Defy in order to dispense it.

    How many like/dislike effects of HCG?

    It's difficult to describe. I just felt ill. I was always out of breath even though I was just sitting down or trying to sleep. Lots of brain fog. Insomnia. Anxiety. I was a mess. All that went away on HCG. And I finally started to feel the benefits of TRT once I added the HCG, better...

    How many like/dislike effects of HCG?

    I feel terrible without HCG. This was back in 2014. I was on TRT for 9 months w/out HCG. I had to quit TRT altogether because I felt horrible. I then started TRT again in 2017, but this time with HCG. I feel much better with the HCG

    Testosterone therapy in blood donors revisited

    It's odd that they would be concerned about excess testosterone in donated blood. Why are they not concerned that I as a man could be exposed to excess estrogen if I were transfused w/ blood from a pre-menopausal woman?

    How many like/dislike effects of HCG?

    I feel terrible w/out HCG. Just terrible. If I had to use TRT w/out HCG, I would have to quit the TRT. For whatever reason, TRT w/out the HCG just doesn't work for me.

    Testosterone and Prostate Effects

    Nice. Gonna have to show this one to my doc, who insists that TRT increases prostate cancer as well as contributing to increased prostate volume. As always, good find Madman!

    IGF-1 and Growth hormone

    My natural IGF-1 has always been high. Most recent lab had me at 228 ng/ml (61-200). High levels have done me no good whatsoever. I am thin, have difficulty gaining muscle. I am often fatigued and do not recover well from exercise, nor do I feel good doing it. My free T levels are fine if a...
