[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 219980, member: 15832"] Yes, I stopped TRT in 2019 (started 2017) due to multiple deficiencies (iron, potassium, vitamin C & D), once satisfied with iron status I hopped back on TRT 8 months later and eventually found out injections was never going to work (Test prop maybe) and last May went on Jatenzo and had a positive experience for the first time. I need shorter half-life formulations of TRT to make it work, the longer half-life causes dangerously low blood pressure while sleeping, waking up clears the blood pressure issues which start as I'm drifting asleep. I strongly believe these issues arise from rock steady hormones, and don't respond to TRT beyond EOD injections and don't have those blood pressure issues likely due to a non-response to treatment. I'm a diabetic (A1C 6.4%, down from 12% 8 months ago) and run a high HCT requiring phlebotomies every 2 months. Pre-TRT Total T was 91 ng/dL, LH 3.6 and FSH 4.6 and SHBG 11. My body fat was 35% and is now 28% and falling. As for recurring problems, these deficiencies always seem to come back due to not taking enough supplements and I have learned what side effects belong to each deficiency, having had all four simultaneously it took time to figure it all out. Right now, I'm dealing with vitamin D toxicity and have to avoid calcium. As for the comment about throwing gasoline on a fire, I can see how it looks that way, but my diabetes is very finicky. It also took me a while to learn I can't take the vitamins all at once in the morning, or it like I didn't take it at all. That was a hard lesson to learn. I have to take my iron three separate times during the day, same with vitamin D. I had GI tract testing which showed food is accelerated through the GI too quickly. [/QUOTE]
