Thought I would come back and provide an update here. I most definitely was dealing with Telogen Effluvium. I didn't confirm it with a dermatologist, but had all the classic symptoms. Zero male pattern balding going on, but rather severe "diffuse shedding." The good news is IT's STOPPED...

I've gone periods where I've added it to shakes (i.e., with food) and periods where I've taken in while fasted. I have not noticed any differences at all. For convenience, these days I take it twice per day on an empty stomach. Once when i wake up in the morning. And then again before...

For those that are interested in learning everything there is to know about protein, protein intake, and appropriate levels for athletes (bodybuilders, powerlifters, etc.) - this is the best book I've found. It is based on the latest research (and is packed with referenced studies)...

I'm as basic as they come. I don't create fancy smoothies or shakes. But I DO care about keeping my protein intake high, so I just have a couple protein shakes during the day. Most of the time, I'm too rushed or lazy to make them fancy, so I try to find GREAT tasting protein powders with...

Can we share ideas/suggestions/feedback here in this thread? I like seeing what others think would be a helpful feature. I have a couple ideas: 1. I'd love to add bodyweight on the daily assessment. I'd like to see if there's correlation between weight loss or gain and other things we're...

That's a great video! Thanks.

I agree with Citrulline being better than Arginine. Everything I've read suggests you are better off just taking Citrulline, that it ends up converting into more arginine than you would actually get from taking arginine directly due to the absorption problems of arginine. (Or something like...

Great news Paul. Good update. Hope things get better and better.

Did you take Tamox with Ana at the same time? And how much Tamox were you taking and for how long before you started seeing results? I developed some gyno on the right side prior to TRT. It's not major, but it's always bugged me. And it does get tender at times. I'd love to reduce it, even...

I just want to say again how awesome this forum is. I'm always learning new things even tangentially or not even related to TRT. And also very cool to have Dr. Saya such an active participant to help in all of these discussions. I'm continually impressed with the depth of his knowledge and...

Interesting. I stand corrected.

My understanding is that there is little concern of harm from the heat in the UNMIXED state. That's why most ship it that way and have you mix it at home, so you can then refrigerate.

Two questions: 1. One person mentioned bloat above. Does anybody else experience water retention while supplementing Preg? Would love to hear. 2. I have the Preg/DHEA combo. I've read somewhere else that if you have trouble sleeping, it can help if you take it at night. But I do NOT have...

Good grief. I absolutely hate insurance companies.

I would keep the appointment with Dr. Saya. Especially if you've already done the blood work and have that to discuss. But even if not - you'll learn a lot in the consult that may provide some direction. On the buttocks/leg pain - sounds like you might have a disc or other low back issue...

Nothing to add to the discussion at this point - but just wanted to welcome you to the forum! Glad you're here.

There are a couple long discussions on this - so recommend searching. Here's one: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?3319-Just-throw-needles-away&highlight=disposing+needles As for me - I do two things: 1. I clip all my needles using this BD Safe-Clip Needle Clipper 2. I think put...

Hey man - at least your here and you will learn and start to get things dialed in. 80mg twice/week is a more reasonable starting place. 1mg of anastrozole DAILY is NOT. You don't want to crash your estrogen levels - because those symptoms are just as bad as high estrogen. No gyno risk, but...

I *think* my shedding is less, but I think it's more to do with the T.E. event / shock that triggered it and it's just tapering off...and as Dr. Saya said, it self-corrects after some point when things stabilize. I changed so many different things at once, and various hormone levels all...

Awesome. Really appreciate you posting that - very interesting and educational.

Ahh. Well good luck and keep us posted.

Have you been re-tested since going on 375mg/week protocol? If so - would be curious as to what your "after" numbers look like. That's quite a dose as mentioned above. Are you feeling like a rockstar?

Yeah - I wonder what his bodybuilding doses were like back in the day. He mentioned in the video that he was on steroids a while back (not sure when he stopped) and most recently on a 100mg every 10D dose of Test and it wasn't doing much. Surprised he even tried that low of a dose. But even...

Dang - that's nowhere near TRT, LOL. I can't believe that doctor and clinic agreed to that video. Maybe they are just a "quack shack" hoping to get all the bodybuilders in the area calling on them instead of sourcing overseas. But as already mentioned - it certainly doesn't help the...

Just a minor set back, which you've already corrected. Re-focus and get back to work. Slow and steady wins the race! Great work so far.

If you are happy with your Test levels, then I would reduce the dose if you are going to every 7 days. Currently you are taking 200mg every 10 days, which is obviously 20mg/day. So 20 x 7 = 140mg if you went to a weekly dose. So you might do somewhere around 140-150mg every 7 days. If you...

I love Self-Myofascial Release. My foam roller and lacrosse ball (for back and chest) have been life savers. :) If interested in SMR and Trigger Point stuff - I think this book entitled The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook is probably the most comprehensive work on the subject...

I suppose you COULD do that. Though conventional use of 23g is to draw with, then switch to 25g to inject with. But as you've read, most of us are going even smaller. If it were me - I'd place an order online for 27G x 1/2inch syringes and pay for overnight shipping. I use OTC Wholesale which...
