[QUOTE="jpw1585, post: 255161, member: 45521"] 96 Yes... and it was much worse than it is now. I was taking 800mg of ibuprofin and smashing the gym. This likely was not the best thing I could do, but I was ignorant to my underlying conditions and had to fight against insulin resistance as hard as possible. I think by reversing the pre-diabetes, my CRP came down a lot and that inflammation due to pre-diabetes being gone, lessened the overall effect of the arthritis. Currently, with pre-diabetes reversed and RA medicated, I have a CRP of 10... However, and interesting timing, this Friday I am getting a periodontal deep cleaning. I am taking an anti-biotic ahead of this appointment and then have ordered some pro and pre biotics to re-boot the gut. The products I bought are stacked, and include lactobacillus reuteri and lactobacillus parascei... basically, I think it is safe to say that I have (and have had) a low level bacterial presence for a while in the form of periodontal issues. Perhaps eradicating this will lower that CRP number even more. In general, yes, I felt better immediately after reversing pre-diabetes... even with a low total t, bc the low SHBG made that FT relatively out-perform. Since CLOMID, going cold turkey, and before tyring ENCLO.... Felt like shit... as the T/E ratio grew in the wrong direction. Beginning on ENCLO, I felt amazing, but the E2 increased faster. Currently I have reduced my ENCLO dose in half. But the real question(s): - Why is my e2 so quick to increase? - Why does Letrozole 2.5mg twice a week barely move the needle - Chicken and the Egg: Low T is associated with auto-immune disease and insulin resistance... so, fighting these things with a low T system seems futile, but are they the cause of low T or the product of low T? - Is my SHBG still that low bc of something systemically wrong with me? or just my genetics? - I am now removing gluten from my diet completely, this is the only thing that has changed from when "I felt good" after reversing PD... I put quote on "feel good", bc while I did feel better than before, I would hardly say that I felt optimal Since starting the ENCLO, libido went way up but as the e2 crept up, those effects diminished... If I "make myself horny"... erections are quite good. But when I first started ENCLO, before the disproportionate e2 spike, a random thought would send me into a horny rage with a 10/10 boner. The gym gains are still stellar.... I am working out pretty hard and eat pretty damn good. Still improving sleep duration. [/QUOTE]
