I did a full heart/cardiovascular analyses including Heart CT, etc. in the past year. I have low levels of coronary plaque, and my cardiologist recommended 5mg crestor and a baby aspiring daily. I held off for months, due to research about new science on baby aspirin, etc. Started both last...

Your urologist can write a script for it.

I dealt with prostate issues (prostatitis) for years until I started taking Avodart every 2nd day. Thankfully BPH managed now.

I read this in a book, and I think it just about sums it up: One always thinks that exquisitely happy time at the beginning of a relationship was the ultimate, the feeling we always try to replicate, to get back, but that is wrong. That's like comparing sparkling mineral water to French...

Thx. Hoping therapeutic phlebotomy will help with my high blood pressure too.

I'm putting my elevated hematocrit down to changing from topical to IM injection a year or so ago. Just scheduled my therapeutic phlebotomy for every 3 months starting in July.

phlebotomies every month? Does that lower ferritin and iron levels? How do you manage this?

I agree, I thought at the most every quarter, certainly not every two months. Don't smoke, and no sleep apnea to the best of my knowledge.

That's what I thought. So, how often is recommended?

My hematocrit is 52.8% I have ordered a therapeutic phlebotomy every two months, which I understand will also lower my 'high' blood pressure also?

I don't have sleep apnea (that I know of). I enrolled in a sleep study last year to test for it, but was unable to stay through the night - I woke choking with the cables wrapped around my neck. The admin unhooked me, and said I could go home. was 1:30am. Ref: high MCV = high hematocrit My doc...

60 year old male: 10+ years of TRT 1+ year of HCG Recently blood work over the last year has elevated MCV of 109 = high hematocrit. Can't donate blood because using dutasteride (avodart) for BPH. Where else can I get blood taken to lower my hematocrit percentage? Thank you, Mark Patrick

My Recent bloodwork: MCV at 109 (outside healthy range) - too high. How many times annually is reasonable to give blood without it being harmful to iron deficiency and energy loss etc.? 60 yr old. TRT 10+ years HCG 1 year

How do you handle HCQ needing to be refrigerated when flying/travelling?

Hi Vince, I'm trying to find the most cost-effective way to get my script filled, and at the same time understand the dosage. My doc confirmed that 5000IU per injection was a typo. You do 500IU twice weekly from a 12,000 IU vial, that's 8 x500IU = 4,000IU total per month. Given that a 12000...

Thank you for responding. So one injection weekly of 5000 units is too much right? How much is 5000 units is that 10 time more than 500 IU? Is this apples to apples? What's that in ml? Where do you get it at a reasonable price? Thx, Mark

Thank you for responding. So one injection weekly of 5000 units is too much right? Do you do the 1 week on three weeks off as I've read? What is the 3 weeks off all about?

I've been on HRT for 12-13 years, and am interested in starting HCG to counteract testicular atrophy. My urologist prescribed Chorionic Gonadotropin 10,000 unit vial 5000 unit IM Q1WK - one injection weekly of 5000 units Is this the correct dosage? My pharmacy is asking for $300.00 for one...
