[QUOTE="JA Battle, post: 169342, member: 40068"] so you would want to get a thyroid panel and 24 hour cortisol test as well as the other tests. however since we know lots of this will change when you get issue fixed i would nt spend the money or effort on those items just yet. your issue can be causing abnormalities with other feedback loops that make up your hpttaa (hypothalmic pituitary testitcular thyroid adrenal axis) they are very much interconnected from my views on metabolism. i would wait on all of that since you will see your health from the position of having primary hypogonadism. correcting this is likely to be a big game changer so i would not spend the money until you have a good testosterone protocol in place or have fixed varicocelle. then you can tinker. i am 4 weeks in to 56 mg test cyp eod. felt great. now feel ok but low energy. low cortisol i believe. thyroid wont even work to get the steroid production without cortisol. (pregnenolone, pregesterone, dhea). not to mention direct effects cortisol has on central nervous system. yes, ed is slightly complicated in a different way as you can read in my signature. some guys with average hormones or even low hormones have no issues with libido/erections/sexual swag. its dopamine. dopaminergic activity can really be thrown off with the high stimuli society we are in. (look up your brain on porn in google.) we really need to know your shgb levels and prolactin levels (these are standard for developing test protocol anyways and often times the culprit is high prolactin for a bodytype as you describe when i hear libido issues) i believe my body is not their or my mind to have sex but im getting closer. im focusing on healthy minded things like getting ahead and having an organised life.. the bare fundamentals. frequent chronic masturbation or ultra high levels of sexual stimuli found in porn can damage the brains dopaminergic activity similarly to amphetamine use (lookup DAWS dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrom) just think 10000000 hot girls doing anything without having to work to see them naked. dont even have to move your hips for crying out loud... its obvious that this does something to the reward center of the brain. regardless of healthy hormones. its fucked me up quite a bit im confident. prolactin works opposite of dopamine typically. low drive currently but when on caffeine (releases cortisol-remember from the trt my cortisol is low) i feel that zest come back. also i think exercise will help raise cortisol and libido will come back. im also considering a new test protocols all together at some point. i havent been exercising because my body literally couldnt keep up with the stress while only one nut is working. if i am in a sexual situation at the moment (if it falls in my lap) i fuck with either viagra 100mg or 20mg cialis the day before if i have time to prepare.
