No sore joints at all, libido has improved slightly but still not there yet. Overall happy with how its going so far.

[QUOTE="Canada878, post: 124984, member: 18912"] Update: I’m 4 weeks into taking 2 grains per day of NDT (one in am one in afternoon) 3 weeks into: 70mg test cyp E3.5D (for 140mg per week) 0.125 anastrozole E3.5D (same time as injection) 500ui HCG E3.5D same time as injection 25mg DHEA every night before bed Still supplementing with iron, selenium, fish oil, vit d3 every day I fee very good. I can tell that i’m not dialed yet but i’m definetly feeing better already. It’s funny. The first few days of NDT i eased into it with one grain per day and felt absolutely nothing.
