[QUOTE="Shawn M, post: 163217, member: 38903"] Update: T-Cream at 4 clicks, 100 mg / day on forearms only seems to work for me. After the initial episode results: 9/9/19 (Two clicks forearms AM, 2 clicks scrotum PM) Testosterone, Free + Total, LC/MS >1500 (Ref. 264.0-916.0 ng/dL) Free Testosterone >50 (Ref. 6.6-18.1 pg/mL) Estradiol Sensitive 49.8 (Ref. 7.6-42.6 pg/mL) Dyhydrotestosterone 579 (Ref. 30-85 ng/100ml) I returned to 4 clicks on my forearms only, and now my numbers are more in line: 11/1/19 (Two clicks forearms AM, 2 clicks scrotum PM) Testosterone, Free + Total, LC/MS 668 (Ref. 264.0-916.0 ng/dL) Free Testosterone 18.1 (Ref. 6.6-18.1 pg/mL) Estradiol Sensitive 16.3 (Ref. 7.6-42.6 pg/mL) Dyhydrotestosterone 181 (Ref. 30-85 ng/100ml) My DHT is still on the high side, but the jitters, over-the-top libido, and blood pressure spikes are gone. Male Sexual Functioning (ED) is still borderline, but improving. Should I try to raise E2 a bit higher in the "sweet spot" of 20-30 by applying a click to the scrotal area EOD? I don't think so, with DHT that high, and knowing what a higher number might do. It seems like my body type favors conversion of T to DHT (reductase/androgenic) vs E2 (aromatase/Estrogen). I asked my Doctor about my high Thyroid Antibody numbers (Hashimotos?). I would paraphrase his response as follows: "The numbers say you have something attacking your thyroid and it's producing antibodies. You can use the label Hashimotos disease or thyroiditis, but labels can be misleading and overused in medicine today. I've seen others with much higher numbers." He further went on to postulate that many such conditions allowing foreign materials to come in contact with your critical systems result from poor gut health ("leaky gut").
