[QUOTE="JP84, post: 93808, member: 17455"] Hey guys thank's for the quick replies already! Yes I'm outside the US. This is done on the NHS, and although a genuine case - even getting on TRT was difficult. They are very strict on their procedures. I have asked about donating blood - but because of the high RBC and being on TRT they said I can't. So it would have to be a therapeutic phlebotomy. However, even with the mentioning of bringing the RBC under control - my doctor literally said today are the risks worth it? And we would need to fine tune a suitable dose. Fair enough. The thing is though, my symptoms only started improving at 15nmol/L with any real significance. That's still a mediocre level compared to some guys - but obviously right for me to get by on. I had tried various doses - but in my case anything under the mentioned I just did not find any benefit. Which is also why I don't want to go on low dose TRT for life without really getting anything from it. It's pointless. That's why I wondered if there are any alternatives such as targeting the LH specifically? I haven't had an apnea study no, I suppose it would be well worth looking into - but because I have a history of chronic insomnia (sometimes 3 days without any sleep at all) and depression - this is why finding a stable level naturally is next to impossible. I swear down now that has something to do with it. [/QUOTE]
