[QUOTE="maxadvance, post: 136600, member: 12434"] So Jay and Dr Nichols are doing a full court press on evidence based symptoms, saying most initial sides are basically psychosomatic and to quit being pussies and get through it, Dr Nichols wents so far a couple days ago and said pretty much the entire membership of Excel Male needs to apply Vagisil instead of Testosterone for their protocol. Classy doc! So here's my reality based symptoms I'd like to share. My protocol for the past year has basically been 90-100 mg T pinned twice a week. Twice a week hcg as well at about 500 iu each. Bloods from last week and a month prior show my trough at about 900 and my day after at about 1600. My body has actually become more receptive to T doses as time has gone on, I'll likely drop my dose soon. But I'm also not using crap T cyp from Hallandale anymore, probably the worst pharmacy in the USA. The reason to post though is an observation regarding my hct. Because of Drs Rouzier and crisler, I decided I won't phlebotomize for awhile and see what happens. And much of what they say is on point. Yes the blood gets thicker, but your platelets don't, and a likely coronary event shouldn't increase based on their research. Athletes love thick blood right? More RBC, more oxygen, better performance, yippee. So I didn't donate for a year. I was religious with my omega consumption, along with B complex and minerals. A couple weeks back, my measured hct was 57. I had pushed through that mental feeling of something is different, and had settled in to my new reality of increasing hct. My body, my business. Here's what i noticed. 1. Complexion is always redder, I'd get comments frequently from hey nice tan, to hey why's your face so red all the time. 2. Libido went down, a lot 3. BP went up to 140-150/ over 90-100, and sometimes lower to that 130/85 range, not consistent 4. Strangely my eGfr for kidney function is as good as it's ever been, it's over 100, normal >59 So then I donated last week, and here's the difference in one week. 1. normal complexion 2. greater sense of calm 3. consistent BP reading of 112/70 4. Libido, we'll see So that's just me. I think low 50's is fine, 52-53 is nothing to freak out over. But it's definitely something that needs to be managed. #hct [/QUOTE]
