    Surviving Propecia

    Yeahhh I don't know about this whole I feel homosexual thoughts now thing, but I am not going to comment on it because I simply do not know how they feel. I think at the end of the day you must realize you have hypochondriacs, lawyers trying to make a buck, and very negatively affected men out...

    Surviving Propecia

    I understood your point. And you missed mine... which is to analyze the individual situation and use your head. There have been no studies that if TRT is administered safely and correctly under a knowledgeable physicians supervision that it induces morbidity and/or mortality. Hypogonadism is...

    Great post. Always look at risk vs. benefit and the bigger picture.

    Surviving Propecia

    The difference between a candy bar making your **** limp and a propecia making your **** limp is that candy bars do not inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, which is pertinent for male sexual physiology. Propecia inhibits that enzyme. So I would disregard stupid claims like that but definitely pay much...

    Surviving Propecia

    Measuring plasma DHT isn't too reliable anyway so don't stress about that. I personally never would've taken it to begin with. The chances are very low but I don't like to take possible permanent risks. I just don't think 5ar should be inhibited in anyone since it's such a vital enzyme involved...

    Surviving Propecia

    I also have many friends who have taken Accutane. My best friend took accutane for 1 year and drank heavily on it. No issues. But then you have people like my family friend who took it and was perfectly healthy before and developed joint issues and libido issues on it despite normal blood work...

    Surviving Propecia

    The androgen receptor, thus androgens are responsible for prostate development and integrity. If you would like studies I will go find. But burning or pain only happens with the biggest minority which I mentioned- the ones who do not get better with androgens, time, or what gut cleanse you think...

    What's the beef with anastrazole?

    Read his post again. He pulled a 79pg/mL E2 reading with daily injections and NO anastrazole. ????

    Surviving Propecia

    I'd caution taking advice from this guy. While a lot of what he says is logical, he believes his experiences and his experiences only are dogma. He also thinks everything and anything is psychosomatic. I agree that adverse events from Finasteride are very rare (4%). But why take the chance. It...

    What's the beef with anastrazole?

    I wouldn't make two changes at the same time. Why don't you just lower the T dose and don't use anastrazole and see how that treats you?

    29 y/o considering TRT

    It has to be the low T and low E2. What was your clomid dose and what did it bring your LH & FSH + Total T to? If your LH and FSH were still low on Clomid you probably have pretty bad anabolic steroid induced hypogonadism. TRT + HCG at this point would not be a bad idea. From the looks of it...

    DHEA supplement on TRT.... bad experience!

    Agreed with this. That is also a massive arimidex dose which can cause further problems.

    Considering Dr. Saya for 2nd try with TRT – any advice appreciated

    Vince, what makes you think his thyroid is an issue? I understand by our knowledgeable standards, that a TSH of 3.6 is on the high side and should be closer to 1.0-1.5. The reality is that MANY doctors will not treat this, especially because his fT4 is in range. Would like to see fT3 however...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    My story makes perfect sense, you just don't know how read. Saw a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Both agreed with me and just saw another endo. With my PCP, We're all now working on getting me to Baylor College of Medicine for genetic testing. Ps. you have no place to refer people to MDs as...

    E2 at 51, to anastrozole or not to anastrozole

    I would forget the zinc and DIM for now and keep the HCG the same to ensure optimal testicle function (and mood/libido) but lower the T dosage. Your levels are on the high side, dropping the dosage can be more congruent with your age. Make small changes every 8 weeks and see how things pan out...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    No I do. I have lived in it for 24 years. Not really sure who you are to say I do not? I feel bad for you if you don't know your body. Perhaps try keeping a detailed log on how you feel compared to your corresponding protocol and blood work. Anyway, i am not supposed to feel like this off or...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    A lot considering with a FT level of 24.5 (9-26) and an E2 of 35 (7-42) I have no libido, no morning erection, ED, dry mouth, dry skin, hair loss on entire body, dry hair, slow nail growth, no pumps, no gym performance or aggression. On the same protocol i've always felt amazing on and all...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I'm 1000% certain. I've tried 4 different vials, 3 different brands. Compounding pharmacy HCG 500iu x2 week. Novarel 500iu x2 per week, and then tried 1000iu x2 per week. Then even got Corion, tried 500iu x2 per week, then 1000iu x2 per week. None of these yielded any kind of result in terms of...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    For bodybuilding. I don't respond to HCG at all, and clomid and nolva make me significantly worse so that's definitely not an option. Why would my endogenous T make me feel any better if my blood work is perfect. Once again, I've ran 100mg with no AI before and felt incredible. Ive came off...

    Ask The Urologist Anything (Dr Michael Rotman)

    Dr. Rotman, Background 24 y.o. healthy male here. I've been on TRT for 3.5 years, was not hypogonadic before TRT. Ran into issues this past May when I took way too much Anastrazole, while on 105mg T Cypionate per week. Ever since I did that, I have a myriad of physical and sexual symptoms that...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Funny you ask this. Even when I came off Testosterone awhile back with a PCT of just 2 weeks of Nolvadex and Clomid, I felt much, much better than this and had none of these symptoms.

    29 y/o considering TRT

    Are you working out? Rigorous resistance training increases both AST and ALT, but more so AST (1). After a 3 hour leg day, I pulled a 107 ALT, doctor was very concerned so I retested a week later and took a week off from the gym and everything was in normal range. 1...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I admitted right away I gave myself psychosomatic back pain when I was younger after my first deadlift injury. Of course I tell my doctor everything, I know the importance of thorough past medical history, plus HIPPA, patient confidemtiality, patient to professional? To me, there's nothing to...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Having ear wax my entire 24 years of life (which is normal, your body produces it to trap bacteria), to not producing any is a problem. It disappearing as soon as I crashed my estradiol isn't a coincidence. Yeah, urologist identified ED. PCP identified hair loss that isn't MPB. Going to...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Its not a clinical symptom. But it's something I noticed. I just know my body really well. 100mg of Testosterone would certainly would always make my nipples puffy and leaky. Now that does not happen. The quantifable component and clinical symptoms are the hair, nails, skin, vascular, and...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I've also thought of this and it sounds plausible. I am hoping I can get further evaluation and rule out a latent disease. If you look my each individual symptom, it really does make sense that it would be a hormone receptor signaling problem at play here. For example, on 100mg T Cyp per week...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    It's a nightmare and has decimated my life to say the least man, but thank you. Trying to handle this responsibly, logically, and maturely as possible. On a positive note, Baylor College of Medicine has sent me a letter saying I should consider applying for the Undiagnosed Disease Network...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Great study. Difference is I was only without estrogen for less than a month, and I had a few 24-48 hour periods during that month where I definitely had rebounds of estrogen because I would stop the Arimidex. Another difference is that I am a male like you said. Basically, I know something is...
