[QUOTE="Fett_Muscle, post: 63234, member: 15089"] Hello, I will try to summarize my issues quickly, and I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and offer any assistance. About 6 years ago when I was 34, I purposefully lost about 40 lbs, and decided to get into weight lifting. Started off just hitting the gym more, and had success, so I decided to try supplements. Did a little research, I purchased some over the counter products (not sure if I should say the name) from the mall store and began using specifically because they claimed to be non-hormonal. Unbelievable results immediately. Super fast muscle gains and my lifts went up so quickly it was absurd. I followed the instructions for dosing times and breaks, but actually dosed lower than recommended to be safe since I had never done this before. A few weeks in I started having erection issues, but didn't want to assume anything 100%. Shortly after, I couldn't get an erection at all. So, I got off the supplement, and a few weeks later everything was normal again. So I assumed all was safe enough as long as I cycled. Got on again, and everything was exactly the same with a few additional issues. Along with the ED, I noticed that my scrotum (not testes) had gone from hanging very low to being tight all the time. Like 1/5 the size it was previously. That, and one day in the mirror I noticed my sweat looked white, almost like milk. At that point, I said "screw it, I'm not taking any chances, I'm getting off this stuff for good." Of course, no luck going back to normal. My scrotum never recovered, my libido (which was always raging) is non existent, and while my erections recovered somewhat, they are hit or miss, and I can't rely on them. Each day is a different story, and morning wood (which was every day) almost never happens, and when it does, it's minor. I also gained weight, and couldn't gain muscle no matter how hard I tried. Now it's been 6 years and this is on my mind constantly. Good looking, in shape, single guy who doesn't want to risk embarrassing himself in front of women. I have a Viagra Rx, but I hate the way I feel using it (swollen head and ears). If I could get back 1/2 of what I used to be I'd be happy. First endo looked at labs, said I was normal, refused to do anything. Second endo saw my test in the 400-550 range and offered for us to try TRT. The first week I felt like a new man in every way, and then I went back to where I was in almost every way. I have lost a little weight and gained some muscle but that is it. He just decreased my dosage because my last labs had me in the 1200's. He doesn't take any time with me, and refuses to discuss HCG, Chlomid and various other products I read about. I just need some direction. I am so scared to try any chemicals in my body now, but clearly something changed in my hormones.

I feel like that should be a clear symptom of something, but I haven't found anything online where someone had the same issue, and I can find no one who had the same results from the products I took. I would love to find a doctor who cares and actually understand this medicine. Thank you for any help. [/QUOTE]
