    Do I really have to take an AI like Arimidex during TRT? I think it makes me miserable.

    Nobody ever talks about tamoxifen (Nolvadex). What are the pros and cons of Nolvadex compared to Arimidex/AI's ??

    Do I really have to take an AI like Arimidex during TRT? I think it makes me miserable.

    Despite a semi-decent libido, I feel emotionally f*ckng miserable. After reading Nelson's post, and many other folks' complaints here about AI's - I must say that I blame my misery on Arimidex! Totally on Arimidex! If you feel I'm UNJUSTIFIED in blaming Arimidex for most emotional problems...

    Do I really have to take an AI like Arimidex during TRT? I think it makes me miserable.

    Given my estrogen levels below - what would happen if I stopped taking my Arimidex 2mg / week (taken for about like 10 months)?? I only ask this because many people on this forum say very nasty things about Arimidex... Is the only real possible side effect really just gynecomastia? P.S. - This...

    Low Cortisol Issues

    Most people love saying that cortisol is bad for you, cortisol will kill you... etc... But lower-than-optimal cortisol levels are just as dangerous (if not MORE dangerous) than high cortisol. Dr. Forest Tennant (a very prominent pain specialist nationwide) - says that many pain patients have...

    Nandrolone Issues

    Would you say that Nandrolone is fairly safe compared to other steroids that those big-time athletes and bodybuilders use? Because I once saw a short film about the misery that Cris Cyborg goes through before each one of her fights. Seeing such a tough woman like HER crying, made me wanna cry...

    Nandrolone Issues

    I go to physical therapy twice a week. This is with an actual doctor of physical therapy, not some personal trainer (which usually has less than 6 months of education in the field).

    Nandrolone Issues

    MOST people will not really understand my strange reactions and side effects to seemingly innocuous medications like Nandrolone. But since 2006, I have become that "rare 1% of cases" that science simply cannot find explanations for.

    Nandrolone Issues

    Since I'm not a regular steroid user, I'm not familiar with the phrases "cycle on" and "cycle off". Can you please put those in layman's terms for me? Thanks.

    Low Cortisol Issues

    Okay, I will ask for a ferritin test in that case. Are you diabetic? Can diabetes catabolize (waste away) your existing muscles?

    Since my last blood test did not explicitly test IRON itself, I will give a small screenshot of relevant markers which may help your question:

    Can HcG alone (withOUT T-cypionate) help sex drive & increase overall testosterone?

    I actually tried other brands of HcG before, and it seems like Pregnyl is rather WEAK! Anybody else think that Pregnyl is kind of weak compared to other brands of Pregnyl?

    Nandrolone Issues

    More than 6 months ago, I was started on Nandrolone decanoate ON TOP of my regular TRT because Defy judged that my back pain would greatly benefit from beefing up/strengthening my back muscles. I was assigned to take 0.15 mL's twice a week. But even at such a small dose, the Nandrolone always...

    Low Cortisol Issues

    Wow, that is quite strange. Despite starting TRT and experiencing more frequent hypoglycemic episodes, my A1C actually went UP from about 5.8 to 6.xx.. I know this sounds very unorthodox from what people have come to believe, but I have learned that I am, indeed, that 1% of patients that...

    Low Cortisol Issues

    I hope it's okay that I posted this here, but if not - I will repost to another part of this site. More than 6 months ago, I was started on Nandrolone decanoate PLUS my regular TRT because Defy judged that my back pain would greatly benefit from beefing up/strengthening my back muscles. I...

    How significant/powerful is Testosterone therapy's ability to improve insulin sensitivity in a type-2 diabetic?

    Low Cortisol Issues

    I only take Novolog insulin twice a day. I actually did reduce my dosage from 25 units twice daily to 20 units twice daily.

    Low Cortisol Issues

    I was diagnosed with lower-than-normal cortisol about a year before starting TRT. This was not your standard blood test - which can bring erroneous results. This test was a "saliva test" which means that 4-5 times a day, I had to spit inside a tube, and then have that tube shipped to the lab...

    Can HcG alone (withOUT T-cypionate) help sex drive & increase overall testosterone?

    I think that HcG (Pregnyl) ALONE at slightly higher doses (like 2,000 units/week) improves my libido and mood much better than any T-Cypionate brand I've tried. Get this - I even tried my own local pharmacy brand of "Depo-testosterone"...

    What to do if Lipodystrophy is suspected?

    Hi, My name is Gabe. I've been on TRT since August 2021. I've switched to Defy Med in March of 2022. I am also Type 2 diabetic who uses Novolog Subcutaneous insulin. Since Defy is the only clinic that suggested using Testosterone Subcutaneously, I did so starting in March 2022...

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    In your experienced opinion: do you really think you can count on Defy Med? I want to believe so. But I honestly feel like I was "lured into a trap" by Royal Med..

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    I am honestly starting to believe that Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a GIANT FRAUD INDUSTRY.. Yesterday, my doc told me face to face that my clinic (Royal med) is a 'fly-by-night' operation only expecting to be open for about 20 years tops. Only because Defy costs much more, doesn't...

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    Hi JohnTaylor: I also have thyroid issues for many years (more than 10 years actually). 10 months ago I was placed on 5mcg cytomel with 75mcg Tirosint together. I still feel very tired, COLD, and I actually GAINED weight! I am very curious to know how well is the iodine working for...

    Fatigue and Tired on TRT

    Hey Dk, I hope you get this message since your post is like one year old. I feel EXACTLY what you do! I started TRT on August 3rd 2021. I felt ZERO help with libido, mood, and my energy got worse... much more fatigue than before! Libido also became lower. I started getting lots of...

    Thanks for your awesome replies! I forgot to mention: They also *GAVE* me Gonadorelin which also makes me sweat BRUTTALLY without any real exertion at all.

    Royal Mens Med center

    Hello, I have tried the TRT protocol at Royal Mens Med Center. (RMM for short). I first started back in august but had to stop due to severe hot flashes, brutal sweating withOUT exertion, and insomnia. Then I did some research and found that Anastrazole was known to give very bad side...
