Looking into to an Oura ring, do you find it helpful? I wear a home holter and PAC activity many times spikes between 10p and 2a. My dentist suggested the Oura to track HRV, SO2 and sleep cycles. Would have to use my little finger, only one that fits and I'm not fat.

Based on a 1984 study. Really? Before decades of clinical use showing safety and efficacy. Nothing but political and cash. T_space is correct, legit UG OX is about as easy to obtain as a T shirt from Amazon if one does their homework. It was never about safety, if it was the FDA wouldn't be...

Political IMO. If it weren't a drug that is abused for cosmetic reasons, they would leave it alone. Unfortunate for those that could benefit from it clinically (cachexia, sarcopenia, recovery from surgery esp involving skeletal muscle and injury, etc.). Regardless, it just forces more people...

This really underscores two major issues. One the less docs want to prescribe, the more the on line clinics can rip off those willing to pay, and it is also forcing an otherwise law abiding group into illegal activity esp non-binary, trans and the older guys trying to stay glued together...

I had 4 consults with different neurosurgeons, all told me fusion was the only option if I wanted to stay out of a wheel chair and in constant pain and the outcome would likely be in my favor. Little choice. I'm a QOL guy, without it I'd rather be dead. I don't fear death, I fear a life without...

Best option is the hybrid (maintains mobility and preserves the discs above) and make sure you find a best of breed neurosurgeon and general surgeon. Yes the recover is a bitch but if you can avoid the DVT and complications, in a year you'll be happy you got it done. I'll let you know about sex...

You should talk to Rick Collins about that or read Legal Muscle his book from 2002, if you can find a copy, it is very detailed and specific about the laws regarding non-script possession and how LE goes about their business if your package is ID'd. What you have to ask yourself is, if I'm that...

All fine until you're that one guy who ends up the target of a controlled delivery and some overzealous young prosecutor with nothing better to do than trying to rid the world of those evil testosterone users and make a name for him/herself. In most states just 2 vials of non script is a felony...

You really don't. That flushing is common, but I've known people using the IPA/CJC have it for a week or so then its gone, or some batches it occurs, others it does not. I have not figured that one out. Could be the body adjusting, or could be the peptide has lost potency. Best gauge is to look...

Not sure when I can stop it. They said 3 mo but will know more when I get there. Yes anterior hybrid (fused L5/S1 and Prodisc L at L4/L5) on March 21st, they really tear things up on the left side going in and with a tight brace and swelling no surprise I got a DVT with the inflammation. Was on...

No, just be careful when adding the BAC, very slowly. You can denature proteins with foaming.

Has anyone had any experience with Trimix injections while on Eliquis? Had a DVT following lumbar fusion (ALIF) and on Eliquis currently. While ED improved considerably after HOLEP (Sept 22), dealing with major back surgery recovery (March 23) has made the ED worse again. Hematologist wasn't...

I reconstitute the 5/5 mg IPA/CJC with 2.5 ml of BAC. That yields 2 mg/ml or 200 mcg/10 units or 0.1 cc. Usual dosing is 100 - 300 mcg before bed. Always start with the lowest dose. You should feel a flushing sensation within minutes after a sc inj. PS products have a vacuum in the vial. Be...

May be GABA related, why some take it before bed.

This thread explains what my urologist has been going through.

The big question is, does it really matter at those doses? Sure HDL drops and it is universal, but does that = significant increase in CAD risk? We don't know esp at doses that are not abusive. Best way to sort that out, get a CT angiogram, if the score is zero go forward with the OX, check it...

From a 1991 study by Friedl et al. Prolactin not on this graphic but did not change with the 100 or 300 mg/wk dosing. Only real difference is the decrease in E2, much less aromatization with ND than T.

Never underestimate the power of the far right and when religion gets mixed into politics it can make for a very hostile environment toward anyone that doesn't "fit in." https://www.npr.org/2023/04/24/1171293057/missouri-attorney-general-transgender-adults-gender-affirming-health-care

The way the political environment is going, states may start banning the prescription of any androgen to a biological female for any reason. Trans, non-binary, QOL, etc.

As above from Sammy. Oxandrolone Capsules Compounded 90 caps 15 mg for $99.95. Used this for a few weeks following my ALIF fusion/disc replacement, run the rest after I can become physically active again to restore some lean mass along with HRT. Personally wouldn't go more than 15 - 20 mg for 12...

This isn’t the DEAs problem, they are just doing their job. Biden played a big part in the Steroid Control Act and he can at the very least get T descheduled. The DEA did not want AAS scheduled in the first place along with many others and they shouldn’t have been. Since scheduling them the UG...

There have been studies looking at 200 mg/wk of TC for male contraception. Results varied. I know guys prepping for shows taking a level of PEDs that would make one look like a genetically altered farm animal and gotten their wives pregnant, twice. If you want to avoid pregnancy, HRT or androgen...

May have been a coronary artery spasm as well. Cold and stress can be a trigger.

Yes. Helps keep my BP in the low 120's/70's. I take 3 g of taurine along with it. I have a persistent atrial ectopy, the combination really helps to suppress it.

Exactly, Citrulline is converted into arginine and liver uptake is low, whereas the liver is good at clearing arginine so less gets into the blood. No need to take anything else if you are dosing adequately with citulline, and for some be careful mixing cialis or other similar drugs at the same...

3 g am/afternoon. Been over a year, still works esp for BP.

Spot on conclusion. A study to adequately answer these questions would require 4 groups and enough statistical power based on the outcome variables to detect differences between the groups. Control, T only, Ex only, and T + Ex. The exercise should include some level of cardiovascular work if...

For women yes, they can go to their provider and ask for testosterone and probably other androgens if they want a more masculine physique and don't want to be a full blown trans, and have it legally prescribed for gender dysphoria. For men with poor genetics or older men, and borderline T levels...

Stanozolol has been associated with serious hepatic sides, oxandrolone has not at least that I've seen in any studies if used alone in clinical dosing. Still longer term nandrolone is likely to be lower risk than OX esp for sarcopenia, certainly less than STAN and STAN at least according to the...

Most of the non-C17 hepatic masses were seen in patients with Fanconi's anemia, most but not all. Lesions were detected in men on both T and N esters wo FA. Again it gets back to imaging. An abdominal US every 5 yrs on HRT is not a bad idea along with an echo at a year and if normal maybe every...
