You also have to consider what level of free/bio available T this 800~1000 total T takes you... Total T is not very useful. What is your SHBG/Free T number? 1000 is high, unless you have high SHBG this puts most males in superphysiological free T ... I think you need a good TRT doc... I...

Hmm... no one talks about SHBG and free T much, but I believe that is one of the major issues with long term TRT users... I started TRT with my total T in the 500s but my free T was really really low... I felt miserable. I have no idea why my SHBG was so high... I started TRT and oh boy, did I...

Oh it did not fix my low SHBG, lowering my dose fixed my chronically high Free T ... Sorry for the confusion...

Yes, the lower dose influences my motivation towards sex and my erection quality... counter intuitive but it sort of makes sense, it probably mimics my youthful T levels better in a physiological sense.... total T is not the important number here, free/bio available T is... So even if I keep my...

I take Iodine for prevention, does anyone know if Iodine can be helpful when cancer has shown its ugly head? (search dr brownstein)

I have low SHBG too... my free/bio available T is always super high... nothing worked to increase my libido except... lowering my dose! I too was flying high at 140, 120 mg/ week for a few years until I finally tried lowering my dose... I now fly between 50mg and 70 mg/ week and never felt...

Two 20 year old in my bed ... Geesh... that would be all I would need right there.... lol

You are describing my case exactly... I now run between 54 and. 64 mg/week depending if I am cycling in HCG or not... and all those issues have gone away... I use to run 140 to 160 / week ... with supraphysiological T and Free T ... and was having terrible palpitations and anxiety, especially at...

I had a lot of palpitations when I was flying high... never had any hematocrit issues, but man, anxiety and palpitations at night were really strong.... Lowering my dose fixed all of those symptoms.

Well if that is any comfort 80mg/week is high for me! ... I started my journey at 140mg/week... 6 years ago... and felt like superman the first 6 months... but was a mess ever after. I was chasing this high and went to higher doses until I finally listened to my doc and starting getting lower...

2 times .75 of delatestryl which is 200mg/ml is actually 300mg per week. That is very high... When was your last blood test? What is the range of the test? 25.7 is the top of reference for my labs. I am in Canada and on Delatestryl too... If you did this on your lowest point, being top range...

I use an Apple Watch. It does not give you a sleep score pre say but a graph showing your paradoxal, REM and deep sleep...

I am in the same boat as you, I am extremely sensitive to the T... I guess I became sensitive in time... 5 years trt here.. I started at 140, and persisted with trying higher ... thinking it would be good... but nan, chasing the dragon I guess.. Now I am in a lowering phase, which my dock si...

Might be annectodal, but I track my sleep with my phone because of some sleep issues... I have very mild apnea only when sleeping on my back... so instead of a CPAP I sleep on my side... lol I still wake up 3 - 4 time a night but fall right back to sleep... Now I have been lowering my dose...

I have been injecting my belly subq for the last 5 years with no issues. The only time I did have issues such as the one you are having is if I don't inject deep enough. If I pinch, and go straight in with a 1/2 in needle, I have a little bump for a couple of days with is completely normal. But...

You and I are on the same boat... I am following with interest. I too have low shbg, normal t and high available t... libido is low too... However I achieve those similar levels with 72 mg/week in two doses... I am real sensitive to this stuff... My doc does not test for estrogen or sgbg...

It does great for my balls, but not much for penis sensitivity... I too run marathons in the bedroom... sometimes I just give up, I can't finish.... I wish there was a solution. My main reason for HCG is I just feel better... and kind of like my balls hanging a little, I hate it when they are...

Yes, you have to burry it as deep as the 1/2 in pin will go... otherwise, even pharma stuff will give you this inflamation if not deep enough. Maybe you should spread them further appart if you have to do 3 shots... Try to get better stuff If you can... That UG stuff would scare me... Take care...

I cycle HCG... so basically 3 months on, 3 months off... I find I loose the effect if I stay longer and I am also concerned about hcg exposure for alzheimer ... but I do feel better on hcg... I do 500iu twice a week... which is probably not ideal as a dosage regimen but it does what it needs...

Why 3 shots? Years of subq injection here and only once did I have this and it was because I was injecting at an angle and it did not go deep enough... I pin with 27g 1/2in on 1 ml luerlock syringes... I use a bigger needle to pull the oil. Must inject at 90deg, direct down into the skin (I...

No mention of your levels? What do you bloods tell you? Are you running superphysiological levels of T? That will cause anxiety in the long term... In my case, lowering my dose to physiological levels is my key... if I run too hot I will get real anxious (palpitations and all...). But naturally...

I am 65, and they do grow back a little and hang better if that makes sense... I see the difference as I cycle the HCG. When they start going back up, especially the right one (too much details! ... lol) I go back on HCG and it starts hanging with his brother again which is way more comfortable...

Hahaha... we should have a section called <Ball Talk> ... It is more like a slight pinch... but it is quite tolerable, you just know something is happening down there... my right test has a tendency to go back up when atrophied and on hcg it goes back down in its place if that makes any...

I have been doing subcutaneous injections for 5 years with great results... No botched injections ever... Subq is the way to go in my book or at least shallow muscular with 27 to 30 ga needles... Stick to it, it gets better with time... try to add exercise to your TRT and it works miracles...

I don't notice much on the libido front, but balls start growing back in the first week... will get some small ball pain, not much but you can feel something is going on in there. I lower my dose of T when on HCG, I do 500iu twice a week. I actually cycle HCG, I stop it as soon as the honeymoon...

Darn, this was intense. I am part of the lucky ones that can take 5mg on demand and it works verry well... Usually I just end up with a little headache, stuffy nose and heartburn... (yes all this on 5mg, I guess I am quite sensitive to the stuff...). But yesterday, oh boy, the leg pain! Took the...

80mg + HCG for a while, but I am off HCG now as it seems that the benefits of it wear off over time... and the link with alzheimer.... so I am now cruising on T alone... Note that when on HCG, I reduced my T to 70mg per week as the HCG topped up the rest, it really adds to the testosterone...

No! Not my favorite Goretex running shoes! ... lol This is nutz!

You would be better served with a stimulant... Tell your doc you have ADHD and get som adderall... Short term T boost will be very subtle, I don't think it will do what you think it will... and it screws up with your hormones... Occasional amphetamine will be much more efficient... Just my 2...

I find it is very well written. I am in the more techincal section where he goes into some history and delivers sort of a biography.... I would say this would be an excellent first book on longevity for someone discovering the field. I am enjoying the review of all the field... understaning that...

The only time I had issues with subq is when I was not shooting it deep enough... I was going in at an angle... and got all sorts of issues, redness, itch, bumps... I don't have any of those issues when I go straight in (90deg to the skin) and use a 5/8 27g needle... It goes into subcutaneous...
