Yeah trust me, I am doubting my symptoms being from that but its worth a shot, as everything else is normal. MRI with contrast, blood work, kidney function, test and estro same as before etc. At this point I just want to try everything, Im at wits end.

Going in a few hours. Fingers crossed. If this helps relieve my symptoms I will be ecstatic, as I am a bit worried as of late. MRI was supposedly clear, so thats good news. Drinking plenty of water before going.

Hello all I have been dealing with some symptoms lately and I think it may be due to my hematocrit. Light headaches all day for 4 weeks, numbness occasionally in hands, weakness in arms and legs occasional, feeling dizzy, nauseous. Went to Kaiser last week, bloods looked perfect except...

I would also like to state that either way, one must look at hormonal conditions prior to prescribing finasteride. I know my Dr, who is in Kaiser, does not. Hence who knows, maybe many PFS guys are really suffering from something before hand. Also would like to note, the fear being spread...

Studies that can be accessed on NCBI, some of which studied by the same organization/individuals that are used on this site time over time to prove things about TRT, hormones, etc My question is this: many younger guys that are low in testosterone experience hair loss, has any of these "PFS"...

thyroid came back today at TSH 1.99, up from 1.87 2 months ago. is it worth the money to get full work up?

so 2% get all of the above at once??? Lose your family? Ok man thats a little much.... If the PFS board, whatever that is, considered who I am working for after my comment, then that Board has indeed lost their minds. just in case you want real data, i have now about 5 friends and family on...

Most people experience that in the first few weeks and freak out. But with time, that will usually resolve. Less then 2% of people have continued issues. When I started TRT I had all kinds of issues. Took time to adjust. I think it is strange that finasteride is the only drug Ive read about...

Hello Wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on face bloat that is most likely not because of estrogen? Whats crazy is Ive lost weight and trimmed up since starting. But my face is larger... doesnt make me feel good about how I look. My carbs are average, my cardio could be better. But...

Definitely an option I may be pursuing.

Will do. Sent an email due to time difference last night, but I will call.

Im looking into that option.

Total possibility. Just interesting how it was timed at exactly the time of my switch to new batch. And my semen volume hasnt been like this since pre-t. But who knows.

Dead giveaway: my semen volume is huge again. On trt, it was very small. Something is definitely up. Empower called and said "all our stuff is tested" and said nothing more.

Took bloods today will update

Nope hands and feet are good, also just had a test for iron about 4 weeks ago and it was fine at that time. This is the same exact symptom I had with low T, uncontrollable drying of skin. As soon as I started TRT weeks later I was oily again, felt amazing, lasted literally until I started the...

I noticed you posted about another pharmacy a while back, and you never updated the thread. You mentioned you had lab values that showed some issues with the batch. What was end result? I noticed now that empower is a compound pharmacy. I heard i should stay away from that due to fda not...

yep something is off, my GF mentioned I started looking pale again, and the worst symptom is back :(((( dry skin! Dead giveaway for me. I paid for another test for test out of pocket, going in tomorrow to test as that is right before my injection. Last value was ~700 right before injecting.

I wonder if creatine supplementation has any negative affect on kidney stones. I love using creatine but I have a history of stones since being a small child. I have been off creatine for about 2 years, but always get the itch to jump back on.

Yikes.

Good advice, thank you. I wasn't sure if going straight to empower would be a good idea. I will reach out to them. I understand mistakes, just want to make sure I don't go off track with the treatment.

Protocol the same. Dosage same. I was happy with the way it was going before.

Not sure, can't tell from the bottle. All I know is empower website shows grape seed.

Hello all So this is the first time I am refilling my testosterone. My first 4 months have been pretty good! Got my levels up and feeling good. So I ordered a refill (Defy) and got my next batch of two bottles. The outside box looks different (white box versus a black-purple graphical box)...

Whoa Those look good! I might order a box, just need to find out if I can just order it in California.

Maybe but does that mean when I am drawing up the Test, I've been drawing less then I actually need?

Hmm not sure if you are understanding why I would not want to waste. I was low T for a long time, and the effects were crippling on my life. I prefer to not mess up my regimen and lose weeks of my dosage, that may put me backwards with my progress. I don't think, personally, hormones are...

I did, they upped my next order a bit, it hopefully will account for the waste, I'll add it up and see. It just sucked because it was my first time on Testosterone so I didn't know until it was too late. Defy has been great, not hating on them, just wish I knew about the waste and the...

Its not me who is afraid, I ran short due to this and was refused more testosterone until my "set time". So I missed a week.

I am going to try it on my next injection. Just a little air bubble up top. We will see how that goes.

Yeah I can see that. I may keep testing and see if I can get the thin needles a go.
