    Higher numbers needed

    Out of curiosity, why do you want higher numbers? How do you feel? Im on 150mg compounded cream daily and average in the high 600-700 range and feel great in all areas related to TRT and overall well being. If your on a good protocol and your balanced you should feel fantastic. Im the...

    The 10 Health Conditions that Marijuana Benefits the Most

    Mark Twain once said there are 3 kinds of lies, "lies, damn lies and statistics". Of course drug crimes are down, they decriminalize crimes, duh....no more crime. The wise voters of CA voted to reclassify crimes and release "non violent offenders" well a NVO is for the current incarceration...

    Arimidex

    If its a non sensitive test then its worthless trying to adjust your protocol based on that number. Check your DHT and maybe try to raise that and see how you feel, but you might be asking for nothing but trouble treating e2 off the standard test.

    Should I worry about this E2 level?

    I read a thread on the ratios last week and I apologize but I cant readily find it. My T is 729 and e2 runs at 42 on ultra sensitive test. I feel great and the ratio is around 17. I have had too high e2 and felt like crap but once I brought it down by adding .25mg AI every 3-4 days and...

    Should I worry about this E2 level?

    How do you feel? I personally feel best when my e2 is alittle on the high side. I learned something recently from a post by Nelson on T to e2 ratios that make perfect sense and based on how I feel im within that range. Divide your total T by e2 and you want to keep your ratio somewhere between...

    Without sounding argumentative and that is not my intent because this is not the forum for it but if you or someone wants to use MJ, have at it. To call people a naysayer by predicting problems and then say in a year nothing happened sounds naive. Until someone spends some time volunteering in...

    acne increase on T

    I have naturally high DHT so when I started trt, it went through the roof and I broke out with pimples and acne. Dermatologist put me on old school tetracycline, said you can take it long term usually without any adverse effects. Cleared me up quickly with no issues.

    Living SoCal medical marijuana is a joke. Being in LE for 30 years I have seen the ugly side of every addiction, including MJ. To this day I have yet to meet a succesful pot head, I know they exsist somewhere but the majority of potheads will never have anything more than a low earning pay...
