[QUOTE="Benny58, post: 13305, member: 2669"] Thanks for your reply Nelson! It was your book on T that got me to this site, and you have been a huge source of both information and inspiration. The work of the HIV+ community has been a huge wake up call that no matter what your condition, you have to take the wheel for your treatment, because the medical/pharma complex really isn't going to do it for you. So thank you! Total T at baseline was Total T 236.7 ng/dL 193.0-740.0 Free T 52.58 pg/mL 30-150 That was the level that my GP suggested we might look into TRT. I confess that I'm having trouble making sense of the Free T numbers, as that seems to be in units that are different from the normal reporting. The Thyroid numbers from July 2014 are from after starting beta blockers-- I began Atenolol in late 2013. I also have some Thyroid panels from late 2012 and they are not substantially different. I will look into Bystolic. I found some research that specifically showed that Atenolol shuts down Leydig cells in rats-- (may have been on this site?) so I'm wondering if HCG may not be a bad idea. I'm not worried about fertility, but I'm pretty sure testicles do more than just make Testosterone, so it may not be bad idea to keep the boys alive. Any ideas about Cialis or other solutions for ED w/ beta blockers? Thanks again and I hope the hand is healing up well [/QUOTE]
