[QUOTE="RAS, post: 267963, member: 38954"] Yes and No, I was taking 15mgs of test twice a week, then I stopped for a while. Now I have found out since then, Got some of my blood tests back, not complete, but so far everything looked fine with the exception of homocysteine, MCH, and estrogen. We all know that my estrogen would be high, but homocysteine, and MCH are elevated. Both suggest b12 deficiency, but more importantly, estrogen lowers homocysteine. Now consider that my e levels are astronomical, one would think that my homocysteine, levels would be super low, but no they are elevated. I wonder how high they would be if I hadn’t been taking estrogen. I am grasping at straws here, but follow the above and it kinda explains why estrogen helps and why I feel better when I add vitamin C. If you also take into account that diets high in protein also raises homocysteine, which I was of course taking in like 400grams of protein per day, add in some alcohol and smoking at times, which all raise homocysteine it starts to make sense that high homocysteine levels may have been the culprit, or that in adding all the external E woke up my receptors. I have been off E since like 9/6, and have added B12 shots and Folic Acid, and am back on TRT at 60mgs every 3 days and feeling a lot better.
