Just a second reply to address your situation...
I'm sure you are doing whatever you can, but honestly here in north New Jersey, I have never had any problems with CVS and Walgreens for Adderall. They almost always have it in stock. At the longest it's a two day wait. I know that not all...
Golfboy,
This pharmacy immediately struck down Adderall AND testosterone. I have never had any other pharmacy do anything like this in these past three years. I have had Adderall filled at CVS, Walgreens, Costco, and Acme without a problem. Sometimes they had to wait for a shipment, but they...
TL/DR: Two different days, two different employees, two different Rx's, same outcome
April 8th I go to ShopRite to pick up the sildenafil my doctor had called in. Really nice employee, really nice interaction. Then I give her an Adderall script. She looks at it and immediately says "We don't...
My urologist was going over my meds. I told him I was taking 2.5mg Cialis a day. He asked if I was using a compounding pharmacy, and I told him "No, I just split the 20's that you prescribed me way back when." Then he said 'Why don't you just take 20mg a day?" I said I thought 5 or 10 was the...
I never even heard of it until today. Plugging it into the search field, it mostly shows up in posts that just mention it in passing
One poster said it plummeted his SHBG. Is it unpredictable and hard to dose?
Check and check. Good to know I can rule out thyroid, and I have an a1c test coming up, so I'll be checking the diabetes angle there.
You're 100% right about the types of food making a difference. I can attest to that. But lately I am just not satisfied no matter what I eat. This started...
I'd love to try semaglutide, but between getting approved and the cost, it's a pipedream.
I have done a little bit of self-help stuff, and I will give your suggestion a try. I appreciate it.
TL/DR: Endo says these results are fine. She's not concerned about the T4 Free, even though it is barely normal. Is she right? Should she order more tests?
T4 Free, Direct: .84 ng/dL (.82 - 1.77)
TSH: 1.290 uIU/mL (.45 - 4.5)
T3: 86 ng/dL (71 - 180)
Recently visited an endo. I like her a...
LOL. At this time in my life, my impetus has been appetite suppression, and this stack does blunt my appetite. But I'm eating regardless.
I've got some kind of restlessness going on that has me wanting to eat all the time. Of course, I can just stop. I've used willpower before. But the...
I have made my own ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin cocktails, and the effects are nowhere near the old Xenadrine. I admittedly use far less caffeine than Xenadrine did, but I still wonder whether there's another piece to the puzzle. The euphoric effect I get from my mixtures is about 1/10th that of...
How profound can the changes be? I never hear it touted as an AI alternative. Can it be?
Edit: I read the embedded study. The subjects were taking cialis 10 to 20 mg on demand, not daily. I wonder what these results can suggest about a lower dosage taken daily.
"My (calculated) free T is low. It is low because of my high SHBG."
This is circular logic. Calculated free T is based solely on total T vs SHBG.
Even if you believe in the methodology, blaming SHBG for low calculated free T is like blaming flames for a fire.
CVS was giving me the 10ml vial even when the Rx didn't specify it. Then they just stopped. I preferred using one vial but I never questioned them, because for stockpiling purposes mini vials make much more sense.
So many of us make ourselves insane, double triple and quadruple guessing ourselves, because of the variables.
I changed protocols ad nauseam and quit twice.
It took a lot of foolishness to just lead me right back to what my doctor originally prescribed, albeit with an AI.
I wasted a lot...
Your doctor is going to shit if you tell her you want an E2 sensitive test. And despite many claims that it's necessary, I've never seen its results differ much from the standard assay when people have run both simultaneously. All things considered I would just ask to have your E2 tested and...
Yeah it came off as criticism out of the blue, mainly because this thread was just trying to tell the OP about what we liked about trt, but no worries, apology accepted.
I've read theories saying the pump is beneficial to hypertrophy, but I know that is not universally accepted. Regardless, it...
@granger I like the pump. And I really don't care that "runners dont like 'pump" in there (sic) feet". And yes, I like to eat what I want when I want.
But thanks for your concern about my BP. I appreciate it.
I'm glad I started. Though libido has not increased at all, erections and staying power are now on point.
Resistance training is fun. One set of pushups and I'm pretty pumped, and the pump increases as the workout continues. When the pump reaches a maximum, it stays until well after the workout...
There's no way to corroborate what you claim, nor what I claim. But it's pay-to-play. That's the business model, so logic says no one is going to pay TP to leave up a bunch of negative reviews. Even if you can't unilaterally remove a review, TP has the backs of those companies who pay. I'm sure...
I'm not judging Defy, but TrustPilot is not trustworthy at all. If a company has a score of 4.9, it is because they are paying TrustPilot. That's how it works. Pay TP and they squash every bad review.
And if those who are taking weekly injections are in any doubt whether to switch, there's no reason (apart from personal circumstances) for them not to test their levels at point(s) other than trough before making the switch. The "always test at trough" mantra needs an asterisk.
I believe when classifying a result as low, middle, high, and every subcategory of each, the result has to be judged in its relation to max-normal and min-normal, rather than max-normal and zero. Using max-normal and zero would put 12.4 almost perfectly in the middle of the range (with 12.5...
As far as total and free:
First test: total 1062 ng/dL (193-740)
calculated free 202.7 pg/mL (40.6-156) (SHBG 46.3 nmol/L, albumin 4.7)
Second test: total 862 ng/dL (264-916)
direct free 11.4 pg/mL (7.2-24)
The second test was from May 19 and was further from...
Take that ten and times it by ten, and I still will probably be scratching my head. But I will definitely try. Thank you for the reference material.
Until then, I want to understand the differences in results taken within five days. First my E2, which strangely came back very similar despite me...
I have two sets of results, which I will post shortly. The E2 is using the same assay, but the total and free are not. Before I present the results, I would like to understand the following:
For my free testosterone, both results are using pg/mL. I know that the results won't be the same, and I...
Now I remember what @readalot said. The exogenous T will raise the free T but will not lower the SHBG. It’s just that the system is flooded with T leading to more free without affecting SHBG.
@madman always suggests waiting a minimum of six weeks (preferably eight) for any tweak to T dosage and frequency, as well as for the addition and subtraction of other compounds (eg. AI's), and any subsequent tweaks to said compounds.
I'd guess that your peak is higher than 900. I'm assuming you're concerned about your total T because of the direct correlation between total T and estradiol. If so, you really should do a blood test at peak if feasible. That's really the only way to know.
I'm assuming you don't want to take an...
