I will follow your progress then. Are you feeling much better yet? I was on TRT for 5 months and could never level out. It was just a hideous rollercoaster constantly.
That was my understanding too. It is just that everything you read regarding SHBG normally accounts high levels of E2 or hyperthyroidism for the cause. Seems crazy to have a high level of SHBG with low E2? All of my liver profile is perfect. I have an extremely healthy diet also.
I will keep...
Hi all,
I am a Saw Palmetto sufferer. After many years of trying to correct everything through diet and exercise, I decided to try TRT.
Originally I started out on HCG mono which worked for the first few weeks improving my symptoms then seemed to taper off. I then added TRT into my regiment...
Just a quick question to you caostwatcher seen as you have a vast experience with all this. Is it common for guys who have been on TRT for 4 months, at my age of 27 to be able to recover from a restart?
Since getting hit with the Saw Palmetto my SHBG has always been fairly high for my age and...
Yes it is a mystery illness and one I hope that they will find a cure or working treatment for soon.
I received an email back from Dr Robert Stevens from the clinic and he seemed extremely caring and actually interested in helping me. I am going to compile all of my health reports and testing...
I agree with what you are saying Coast Watcher and its my own doing. I have been very strict up until these last couple of weeks.
They were drawn a couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday. I took my shot the Saturday before that. The bloods were drawn before my HCG shot. It is hard for me to gauge my...
The thing is with TRT that I love and hope returns once I fix this anxiety is the calmness it gave me. My sleep seemed a lot better these last few months. For the first time in 3 years I had been drifting off naturally in the evenings and felt like I could nap which after years of wired and...
I know this believe me! But in the UK it is so hard to find anyone like that. At the moment I have a source of medication for HCG and Clomid And T if I need it. To get the former two in this country is extremely rare. I have messaged the clinic the Coastwatcher mentioned. What I am wondering...
I have been seeing a Dr at a private clinic near me who gave me access to TRT. I am finding on the 7th day after my 100mg shot I am crashing with the most uncontrollable shaking and anxiety. Wired, dizzy strange feeling. Is this a crash?
It is now 2 am and I am going to have to inject my T...
Oh and can anyone point me to a protcol for coming off TRT and tell me if Clomid necessary? It is my understanding that in some people it can cause depression etc so I am not sure if this would be that great for me! Are there alternatives? I have been taking HCG throughout the Enanthate and have...
I used to watch a lot of porn and was addicted to anything sexual but have not touched porn in a long time due to the effects that porn addiction is known to cause. My grandfather had restless legs and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder which is all dopamine related. I have RLS at the moment but...
I won't! I have been battling this for some time now and have had these moments. I think i put alot of hopes into TRT and whilst it has helped with many things it still has me suffering in some respects.
I just do not understand the energy thing with myself. Before my system crashed I had had...
A little bit of background. Originally I was unsure of whether alot of my symptoms were a result of a head injury or the use of Saw Palmetto. After being on TRT for some time along with HCG and by bloodwork supposedly being dialled in I am contemplating coming off as I believe I have some sort...
UPDATE:
I had my SHBG back.
52 nmol/l 12-40
Before I got sick my SHBG was around 30 nmol/l.
I do not drink or anything so my liver should be healthy. I thought TRT would lower my SHBG. This explains my high Total T number! Is this high Estradiol that is causing this? The thing is my SHBG...
I would like to try this and have tried to do this but unsuccessfully. I am in the UK and for some odd reason the only way Testosterone comes is in ampoules. (little glass things you snap the lid off). They come as 250 mgs per 1 ml. I tried to split this into four syringes and I just found it so...
Thanks for the reply Vince.
My testosterone came back elevated at 41 nmol/l. It is there on one of the pictures... I think! That level converts to 1154 ng/dl. I am currently on 125mg Test E once a week with 500 ius a week of HCG (split into 250ius on different days). I think I am too high at...
Those that are not familiar with my story, quick brief. I was on HCG mono for low T (read my other post regarding this). Initially I felt some relief but the effects soon faded. It raised my T slightly but also raised my E2, not massively high (42 pg/ml) but enough for me to feel the effects...
I am going to try and get hold of the lab when I can. Thanks for the info.
I have spoken to my Dr. Well, he gave me a call but unfortunately I missed it but he left a message. He suggests I either increase my HCG dosage (Becuase I haven't spoken to him he doesn't know about my sides from HCG)...
Yes it is crazy. It baffles me how they can hand out strong sleeping pills rather than a natural hormone. It just does not make sense!
Thanks for the amazon link!
Wow, that really is optimal! Is that E2 level the sensitive assay?
Before I went near correcting my testosterone, I paid...
I have had numerous tests over the last couple of years for LH and FSH.
When I first got ill:
LH: 7.7 iu/L
FSH: 3.2
Then over the years randomly:
LH: 4.5 iu/L
FSH: 3.2
Then before going on HCG:
LH: 3.2 iu/l
FSH: 3.1 iu/l
Testosterone has stayed the same around all of these. between the...
I have never suffered with anxiety or insomnia before I began suffering with my sexual symptoms and fatigue. The only time I have ever suffered anxiety is with this HCG mono protocol. The first time I ever experienced insomnia was when all my sexual symptoms began. I used to sleep like a baby...
Okay, here is my latest bloodwork.
Total T: 518 ng/dl
SHBG: 46 nmol/l (15-40)
Estradiol: 41 pg/ml
Cortisol: 477 nmol/l (138-620)
Albumin: 49g/l (35-50)
Prolactin: 221 miu/L (50-400)
My insomnia and anxiousness is terrible. Its like heart palps and inability to fall asleep constantly. I...
I agree with you entirely Vince. I had to lower the dose as I had not slept in a few days and I was in a foreign country! it was also Christmas and I didn't want to ruin the whole thing for my family. I lowered the dose to function. There wasn't much I could do whilst I was away from my Dr and...
