Overall, nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. But past 3 months I've had unusual neck pains. My PCP wanted me to get x-rays done. Those were done last month. Indicates arthritis forming... which was a surprise to me being almost 47 years old. I'm also getting an MRI done on the neck April...

All I can say additionally on this matter... I do meet with my Urologist for my yearly check up April 16th. I will ask him what he thinks of the new "Partially Empty Sella" finding. I don't believe he will add anything to my protocol. I will say this... I have tried 80mg of Test Cyp a week...

Quite interesting. I was just diagnosed with this around Feb 2024. It took me 5 years to convince any Endocrinologist to run an MRI on the Pituitary... I finally found a woman doctor who would authorize the MRI. She told me... I didn't even order this searching for "Partially Empty Sella"...

After 6 years of having ED issues and believing it was mostly due to inadequate testosterone levels etc. I tried 5mg of cialis... and I was more touchy feely with my girl than ever before. Point being... forget about erection strength etc... what does it actually do for you mentally? Does it...

Out of all the things I've ever heard about "the reasons" for erectile dysfunction... this one takes the cake. Thanks guys... I now have bad breath... teeth falling out... and a limp di##. Much appreciated. Come on men... wake up a little... talk about overthinking something. smh

Thank you fellas for all the posts. Great information. Today was the first day I read all of your messages. Again, I thank you for your time and input. I've been very frustrated... and haven't logged on. The one thing I've noticed which is quite interesting why is it.... every time about 1-2...

Been on TRT 4.5 years. I have tried numerous protocols to get EVERYTHING working properly... Sexual function and also an ambitious mind. It seems like when I have a lively mind... I don't desire sex.... when I lose ambition and focus... I want sex more... but the electricity and plumbing never...

I'm happy to hear that you have that energy System! I miss those days. I've been doing my best trying to study if this is a thyroid issue? Like... t3 and reverse t3 etc. I've even been thinking to get off the small t4 medication of 25 mcg a day. Like maybe it's doing other negative things to me...

I haven't been tested for Polycythaemia Vera (PV). I have been tested for JAK2 (V617F) if that's what you meant for Jack2? And that was tested on 5/5/20 and came back negative. I'm all out of answers in regards to regaining my energy back. I would go to the Red Cross and donate right now if I...

Spoke to my Endocrinologist earlier today. I said I don't understand why are we changing the TRT protocol on a whim? You claim my Hematocrit and Hemoglobin are HIGH but it's always been high for 3 years. Considering high points... this isn't the highest it's ever been. A few fraction points just...

My doctor called in the prescription to the pharmacy... he wants me to take Clomid 50mg but break each pill in halves. 90 day supply 45 pills. And it's not covered under my insurance. What a joke right? How is this going to help? My doctor left his office for the day. Will try to follow up with...

Thanks for the posts fellas. Been very depressed lately. Had a phone consultation with my Endocrinologist on Thursday November 17. He says he doesn't want to prescribe me any Test Cyp anymore. My irons levels are low. He said he is concerned. Wants me to start taking Clomid I believe he said 1...

I appreciate the posts fellas. Yes, I've tried to do frequent injections... small dosages everyday. I feel like sh##. I tried every day for a few weeks. I tried every other day for a few weeks. Doesn't change the way I feel. Every 3rd day seems to be the best choice. But again... I just feel...

I've been on TRT for about 3 years now. I've been taking 140mg of Test Cyp (weekly) for a very long time. I was donating blood rather consistently during those 3 years. Oddly enough during my last blood donation around October 2021 I haven't recovered. Both Iron and Ferritin sit exactly at 2...

So guys... I was searching for something different on my hard drive... and what do you know? I found the back of the original Libigrow packet from 2013. I took this snap shot with my own camera back in 2013. Again, this is from the original formula that the FDA claimed was spiked with...

I was going through my hard drive and I saved a copy of the front of the box... but apparently (like an idiot) I didn't save the back of the box... where the ingredients would be. But, this formula doesn't say XXX. I think they just called it Libigrow. The file date was September 6, 2012 on my...

Lumalux - I appreciate the post! The headache issue was definitely a concern. I wonder what additive caused this? I can't see it just being a heavy dose of just Sildenafil or Tadalafil. I shouldn't laugh lol but maybe we were playing around with death using those pills? lol All I know is... it...

Gentlemen I've been trying to backtrack a few things in my life... well before TRT. As a funny joke one of my friends told me about the Libigrow male enhancement pill back in 2012. I was reluctant to try it because well... what could it possibly do? So about 6 months went by and my friend said...

Same here Nelson. Cialis gives me awful backaches and also odd upper leg pain. Just a throbbing pain.

Systemlord - I agree with you 100%. When my PCP ran some Iron labs in early 2020 there was an error with the Iron... Iron Saturation and Ferritin. The iron saturation said 63% in the blood. Everything was sky high. I said... to my PCP I know these are faulty labs. She freaked out and referred me...

Systemlord - Thanks for the post. I was very surprised my Hematologist just brushed me off and said... see me in 6 months. He wasn't really concerned at all. When I first met him he was really down to earth and actually cared. I don't know what his deal was the other day? I did message my PCP...

Just my take on Deca. Yes, I do feel an almost immediate response to DECA being injected. I can't sleep a wink on this stuff. Please someone explain to me how you can sleep? I've even tried a very low dose of 50mg a week. And I still can't sleep. You feel so wired. I will say... sex life is...

Just wanted to update this thread. I did see a GI doctor early last week. I described all the symptoms I was experiencing. Inconsistent blood in the stools. No stomach pain or tightness. I did tell him about my unusual bowel movements sometimes 3-4 days apart. He said from all the symptoms...

I'm in Michigan and I've seen quite a few Endocrinologists/Urologists with Henry Ford and also Beaumont. Every single doctor would only allow 100mg of Test Cyp every week. Not a single drop more. Also, they won't allow you to use HCG. If you don't mind me asking... what protocol are you on and...

I appreciate the post and your insight. Is a CK/CPK test similar to a c-reactive protein test? I've had a few CK/CPK tests about 2 years ago.

Madman - I appreciate your post. Thank you! If I wanted to use HCG with my current protocol and not elevate the numbers. How much should I decrease the Test Cyp injections by? I wanted to inject about 700 IU's to 1000 IU's of HCG a week split into 2 injections around 3.5 days each.

And just like that... a few days off of Ibuprofen.... and no more nocturnal erections. Simply vanished. No libido.... and we're back to normal. It's mind blowing. Systemlord - Gut health seems to be fine. I have an appetite. Always hungry. That was an apparent freak accident a few days back...

Thank you for all the posts. I have been in slow motion since surgery. Mild swelling but recovering ok. I have something interesting to share while on medication from the hernia operation. My doctor wouldn't prescribe me major pain killers after the surgery. He prescribed 600mg of Ibuprofen...

Just had a quick in person appointment with my Endocrinologist about the low iron and low ferritin issues. In his exact words he said... "Apparently you're bleeding somewhere... there must be a loss of blood somewhere". I said would you like to help figure out what's going on? Well that's not...
