So I just wanted to give a quick update guys. I saw an Endocrinologist which reviewed all my blood work and basically told me he did not see any evidence of long term permanent damage to my body. And told me to stop everything....and only take Benzodiazepines (Ativan) when needed, which doesn’t seem to be working anymore.  But now I am seeing a top notch Urologist to figure out my bladder symptom.


I have no issues with ED, Gyno, Libido, and other signs of possible hormonal imbalance. I have morning wood once and a while, but my sleep has steadily declined. I go to bed consistently at 9:30pm and sometimes wake up at 1:50am. Other times it can be around 2-3am. My dreams are vivid, but never have nightmares. Besides that I have had several doctors tell me I am perfectly healthy. My BP has improved 120/67/60, as well as my weight which I am getting down now. I am 209lb and want to try for 185-190lb. I may find that lowering my weight will help my overall health since when I was I kid I was always around 160-170lb (medium frame). Growing up around age 21 I did experience Gyno only on my right side which went away on it’s own. Felt like this was from all the weed I smoked in college being a dumb kid. It was not until age 24 I started experimenting with AAS and peptides. That is where everything went down hill. Luckily I found a great girl who is supporting me through this 10 month difficultly in my life and and handsome 1 year, 7 month year old son who is my joy in my life. I am suffering and struggling for 10 months now with bladder symptoms which has given my anxiety and depression. From all the tests so far taken, has proven to be negative for serious problems.


My next step is to have Systometrics or Urodynamics to make sure all the nerves are functioning the way they should be. Possibly a Cystoscopy if this Urologist feels if it is necessary.


I will include my more recent lab work again, being on Clomid for several months, then coming off.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
