The labs do not say otherwise, they have different ranges and as I said you CANNOT compare different tests for free testosterone. The only way to compare is through the calculator. If you have been off everything for a year, why is your vit D level still high? When I say stop everything I mean...

Use the free T calculator and compare your free testosterone for Feb-22 to June-24. I don't think they are very different so you can't blame how you feel on free testosterone. If you have to learn one thing from this forum, it is that you CANNOT compare different tests for free testosterone by...

Assuming your albumin is standard 4.3 g/dL, your calculated free T is 14.3 ng/dL. Not that low at all. https://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm

I doubt your low libido is due to your experimenting with clomid and anastrazole, unless you took insane doses. The body should have restored to homeostasis when you stopped. Some other process must be at play - nervous system perhaps. If you have libido problem at your high testosterone (and...

I'm surprised I'm not breached LOL

Your WBC seem elevated due to elevated Neutrophils - compare with your values from before the headaches started. If there is an elevation, this suggests some kind of infection going on - possibly bacterial because Lymphocites are not elevated. Headaches manifest in afternoon or evening because...

I would stay on your current regimen for a few more months to test drive it and see if will continually bring you benefits without side effects. Then, I would try 125mg/week to see if it's better and decide between the two regimens. Don't add any other stuff, which may complicate things and...

Lots of eating, beers, or something in the multivitamin improves your cholesterol to testosterone conversion. The lab values on paper are good but did that improve your tiredness? Check if your cholesterol is even higher. Also check your fasting blood glucose.

A protein that promotes inflammation could hold the key to a longer, healthier life. Blocking the protein, called IL-11, in middle-aged mice boosted metabolism, reduced frailty and increased lifespan by about 25%. The mice didn't just live longer, they were shielded from key signs of aging...

A worldwide yearly survey of new data in adverse drug reactions Arduino A. Mangoni, in Side Effects of Drugs Annual, 2015 Diosmin The authors speculate that the combination of arterial and venous vasoconstriction might lead to ischaemic muscle damage, with consequent increase in creatine kinase...

I doubt the injuries are due to a direct effect of testosterone but to doing heavier excercises. You should be careful with Diosmin because it contracts blood vessels and decreases blood supply. If you overdo it, it may lead to tissue hipoxia and damage.

Best is to stop viagra and go back on your previous regimen of cialis, which I am assuming did not give you this problem. Viagra has clinical studies of delaying ejaculation, which is helpful in people with premature ejaculation. This is not just my opinion or "anecdotal reports".

Viagra often makes it harder to ejaculate/orgasm.

Also get checked for H. Pylori with a stool antigen test. Fullness after a small meal, corresponding lack of appetite, and even nausea are symptoms of H. Pylori infection in the stomach. "Bloat" due to intestinal gas is related to intestinal bacteria and infections. It has nothing to do with...

Some logical thinking: 1. Unlikely this is water retention because the diuretic did not help significantly. 2. Unlikely this is intestinal gas/bloat due to colitis because the pics show volume and flabbiness at love handles, pecs, arms. 3. Most likely this is fat. - Reduce your daily carbs...

You are all wasting time arguing about observational studies. You must be seriously out of your mind to think that association with a single factor, neglecting gazillions of others, proves causation. This is in every book of statistics, yet "researchers" pretend it doesn't exist. One person may...

If you mean you hear your pulse in your ears when you are in bed, that is most probably intestinal inflammation. You can't sleep with thumping in your ears. The temporary solution is to pull off your pillow so your neck doesn't press on it and you don't hear the pulsations. If you have that, you...

The first "study" is observational, so it cannot make claims of cause and effect. Of course they ignore that. All it shows is that people that take fish oil for medical reasons have a higher probability to suffer from what they are trying to avoid by taking fish oil. A possible explanation...

When did you stop Addyi and did you sleep normalize? Welbutrin can also cause sleep issues since it increases norepinephrine (similar to adrenaline).

Small ignored fact - Ostarine is suppressive. Best is to lose weight in the old fashioned way OR get on drug 1, then on drug 2 for the side effects of drug 1, then on drug 3 for the side effects of drug 2 .... you get the picture.

Rifaximin acts locally in the intestines, very little of it is absorbed. Ritabutin is systemically absorbed with the corresponding harsh side effects and is not a replacement. If you can get better without antibiotics, best is to not take Rifaximin. It may get you in dysbiosis because it does...

Mine was a combo Berberine HCL with Bismuth etc for H. Pyllori. I made Amazon refund it due to side effects: Amazon.com

I have taken Berberine and it gave me the exact side effects in the Amazon reviews so don't underestimate the negative reviews on Amazon. I cite the reviews because they are more than just my experience.

Berberine HCL gets the same types of negative reviews on Amazon. Keep in mind, the Amazon reviews are very skewed towards positive, so usually the negative reviews carry the truth and more than 5% of 1-star reviews show that there is a problem. If you decide to try it, make sure you can return...

I'd say, try to lower the dose to get around 700 total T, to satisfy the new doctor. I don't believe a trough level of 700 and "between 800-1000" is a massive difference in terms of effects or side effects.

Berberine is indeed a systemic anti-inflammatory but can irritate intestines, causing the corresponding upset stomach, nausea, and throwing up. Currently, 9% negative reviews on Amazon.com which is too high for something claiming to be beneficial: Amazon.com

On top of that, this dubious "research" was paid by Palatin Technologies, the manufacturer of Vyleesi® (bremelanotide injection). Not trustworthy to me. Seems like the article is just disguised marketing.

The relevant question is what percent of the patients remained on bremelanotide for longer than 6 months, instead of switching to viagra/cialis/levitra. Over 46 months, only 444 dispenses of bremelanotide? That is like 10 dispences/month. Doesn't seem much for a sexual health clinic. 73% of the...

Stress can provoke ulcers but is unavoidable response to financial difficulties. It won't stop until you find a job with more financial security. Don't forget you can try intestinal anti-inflammatories like Smecta or Pepto-Bismol. The antibiotic Rifaximin that I suggested is unique because it's...

You can do another stool test for H. Pylori to see if it's eradicated. This is usually done at least 1 month after the last antibiotic pill, to give it time to proliferate and be detected by the test. The fact you pain is gone for a month after antibiotics, suggests infectious origin. It may be...

Did you go to a gastroenterologist to do all the testing for inflammatory bowel diseases, intestinal infections, gastritis, colitis, upper endoscopy and colonoscopy? If low DHEA is involved in your intestinal pain, popping a DHEA pill should resolve it. Or it may cover it up, because DHEA may...
