Is that what they call bioidentical Testo?

Just wondering, did Defy recommend the cream over injections? Or, was it simply a choice you were given? If this is too personal of a question, I apologize.

Has anyone here had photodynamic therapy for pre-skin cancer? Good results? My new dermatologist is recommending I have it done for some pre-cancerous spots on my head. Too much sun in my younger days! Or, if someone can direct me to a good forum that discusses this particular therapy, I'd...

Very educational for me. It seems that it would behove one to check around for the lab with the highest reference range before submitting to the Testo blood test? Or would it make any difference if drs are simply going by the magic "300" put out by some endocrinology society? Yesterday, my...

So, you're saying your body was producing more T than what the 90mg injections could supply? I wonder if a competent trt Dr couldn't look at the first lab T scores and determine what the minimum amount of exogenous T would be necessary to at least equal what your body was producing? Maybe...

Is this a common occurrence, over shooting the t dosage, then having to back off? This is coming from someone with zero experience so far, but couldn't the patient insist on starting at a very low dose, and then inching their way up to the presumed "sweet spot"? You might not feel the...

Good luck. Very interesting anecdotal testimonials across the board. Keep us informed.

I have Blue Cross Federal. I specifically asked if they would cover Testo. They will only cover hrt if one is undergoing transgender surgery. Scam.

Wow. Mine didn't even make the list. It's 90% because it's unflavoured and only has the single ingredient. How bad could it possibly be? http://bestbulkwheyprotein.com/100-whey-protein-isolate.html

Ha! C'mon Mark. You can do better than that :). Looks like several studies conducted by NCBI. Guess I'll have to go through a few of them.

I was sent a Free sample to use as a tea. Any experiences with gynostemma?

As background, my FNP ordered some blood work for me. I'm 60 years old. He only ordered Total and Free testo, Vit-D, PSA, TSH, CRP, CBC. I already had a basic metabolic panel done a few months earlier by my former Dr., but the FNP wanted to see these additional tests. Since TRT was on my...

Not a lot of hard studies, but, micologists like Paul Stamets talk them up, along with other shrooms.

Your consultation was with nurse Christie? I wonder how that works when you have a consultation with someone who's not the Dr who wrote the original prescriptions? Did the nurse consult with Dr. Calkins prior to changing the meds/dosage? I guess I'm asking "who is in charge, the Dr, or the...

Thanks. At least with a marathon there's a definite finish line which is attainable.

Do you feel you will eventually reach a steady state without the bad emotional and physical swings?

It looks like this roller coaster has been going on since last August. Just the kind of post that scares the crap out of me! Pretty sure I would never want to begin TRT if I had to go through a year of emotional and physical torture like Blackhawk has. Good luck.

Thank you. I guess I could just add the cocoa, coconut oil, and tyrosine to my coffee. Will says the extra energy is noticeable

A pre-workout with zero protein? Carbs? When I get up at 8AM, I have about an hour to get to the gym. No time for a meal, so I do the whey isolate/oatmeal...blended shake, and about a 12oz coffee. Where would this "pre-workout" concoction fit in? Thanks.

Yeah, what type of migraines?

Funny, I've never had a Dr tell me any of this prior to a PSA test.

A quick Google search got this: http://www.berkeleywellness.com/self-care/sexual-health/article/sex-psa

Why "always fast"? You fast regardless of what test is being done? Why avoid orgasm and bicycle seats 24-48 hours prior to PSA test? Any data on this? Thanks.

Thank you, and everyone.

Alright, I must be brain dead. Say I have my Testo tested on a Mon. Following Mon the results come in and show low T. A day or two later, LH and FSH are tested. What's wrong with that?

Yeah, I understand that. What I'm asking is if it makes any effective difference having my LH and FSH tested separately, after the Testo test, as long as they get tested? Yeah, I'm getting stuck twice when I could have gotten stuck just once...

Thanks, but I don't want a Dr that has to be directed. I will question him further though.

Are you saying the LH and FSH must be run at the same time the Testo is run? In other words, if my Testo comes back low, it doesn't make sense to then run the LH and FSH? He's not refusing to run the LH and FSH. He's waiting to see what my Testo comes in at. I must not be understanding...

How long would you have had to wait to speak with a dr instead of some random staffer? I don't like the sound of having to choose your own lab work.

Thanks guys. I'm not quite sure what the FNP meant by ordering estradiol lab work if I'm on TRT. Does that mean after I've already begun TRT, or after I confirm that I really want to start TRT therapy? As for the FSH and LH, he's delaying those, too, for some reason. Maybe doesn't want...
