Controlling the load !

As I progress with my therapy things are improving in the bedroom department...starting to feel like my old self again.
Any tips from the members about hanging on to the load...just don't seem to be able to last that long which does me no favours with the wifey...any recommendations would be useful. I have heard proviron can be useful but not sure if it will help matters....

cheers guys

Thanks guys

Hmmm...nothings simple is it......never was an issue...before I changed my lifestyle back in 09.......alcohol used to do it for me but as I don't indulge any more I cant go there...I was doing fine but when my new Doc changed my meds and threw in Prog & Dhea which caused me to crash big time 2 months ago. I'm having trouble getting things back on track again....sleep was virtually non existent and my self worth went down the plug hole...whoo that was a dark place..starting to feel better now thankfully.
I will just keep chipping away at it until i suss it out....

I'm sorry to read of your challenges with DHEA and pregnenolone. Does your labwork, your levels, indicate all should be well (though it clearly isn't), or are you still working to get blood in line?
 
Hi CW

My new doc (private) changed things after my bloods. My DHEA was low so she threw in 50mg a day which I felt was way to high..so I split the tab in half down to 25mg.
She threw in 5 mg of Prog a day to control my E2 as I said I was concerned about the long term use of Arimidex, plus my HDL/LDL ratio was out.
As said after 2 weeks on this new regime my joints were as sore as hell and my sleeping had turned to crap.
I think the Prog and the DHEA were converting to E.
As I had become very emotional and paranoid with low self worth. Took me by surprise that I could go from feeling great to complete crap within such a short amount of time.
My bloods show that my DHT levels were high and I suppose with my new meds they also crashed and I'm thinking I must be one of those guys that thrives on DHT.
My PSA was good and I've still got a good head of hair.
I ran .5mg of arimidex 3 days on the trot.........no joint pain ...slight headache on a couple of occasions...
Just had a great weekend so I think I am virtually back to my old self again...feeling good.
just had my E-2s labs done ...just to make sure I am on track.

Cheers CW.

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.
