I am seeking a provider in Oregon that works with insurance who will prescribe both testosterone and an armotase inhibitor together. Ideally in the Portland area but can travel down the Willamette Valley down to Eugene. Might even go to Bend if I have to.

Hi- I was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism in '18 based on these labs: LH (1.5-9.3 IU/L) 2.5 Testosterone (241 - 827 ng/dL): 292 Free Testo (47-244 pg/ml): 35 % Free Testo (1.6-2.9%): 1.2% SHBG (15.0-87.0 nmol/L): 66.3 Prolactin (2.1-17.7 ng/ml): Estradiol 17-B (<=40 pg/ml): Ive never...

I have a very hard time finding balance w/ trt. Also diagnosed ADD after trt. Been on trt for a couple years. Starting to figure out B12 defiency along with some ferritin symptoms that I thought were related to hormones and have been chasing. Might be worth looking at ferritin, b12 and folic.

TRT effects my mental health big time. I have ADHD, some mild depression and anxiety. Had an awesome honeymoon period- was beforfe I had an ADHD diagnosis and TRT initially made it go away. I didnt feel anxious, depressed or ADHD. These things slowly all came back, but to a much lower degree...

Exercise like mad. Push it hard when you do it. Get the endorphins flowing. Has helped more than anything.

Ive battled anxiety my whole life, Im 54. It got really bad about 5-6 years ago, went up a few notches. Had my first full blown panic attack, or at least what I thought was a panic attack. I believe 5-6 years ago is when my T levels dropped out. I was tested and came back at like 310 and got no...

I have had moments of clarity like that. I've described them to my doc as life changing. A vail all my life is lifted. It was amazing. I havent had one for a long time, but earlier I felt it a few times. For a day or two sometimes half a day. My T is in the low 900's now, I am going lower. I did...

Guys- I am not sure if this is related or not. BUT, I started TRT a year ago, started Feb. 2018. At first I felt the best I have ever felt my entire life- mentally. I have had anxiety since I can remember, Im 54 now. At first it made my anxiety melt away. I felt focused, confident and little...

The person who has uploaded plenty of TRT videos on You Tube, Bignoknow, has a few videos with one of his doctors and she is in Portland. I am making an appointment with her. Just FYI for anyone else in PDX looking. https://youtu.be/fUitMlwMlkw

I am looking for a knowledgeable doc in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Phil Grasso popped up on my radar. He is a naturopath. I have no experience with a naturopath. So, wanted to see if anyone here had first hand experience with Dr Grasso. Also, curious about a naturopathic vs. conventional approach to...

Apologies for dragging out an old thread, but I am from PDX area and about 4 month in to trt and not sure about were my doc is heading. Wondering if Dr. Straight worked out? Dave

Thanks for the welcome! I lurked for a month or so so I understand what you speak of. Its cool. Lots of forums can get blunt, sometimes its how you read the tone. I go in assuming its meant as help. 30 years in B2B distribution sales, Ive got thick skin w/controlled response. Plus, I really need...

Ive got a huge learning curve. It is very confusing to me. I have a very mechanical mind and I should be able to figure this out. I like my doc a lot. I do trust him. I know he has experience with this therapy, I don't know to what degree. I like his curious mind and willingness to listen and...

When I first started injecting, at 100 and 50 mg I swelled up to the point my shoes didn’t fit, had really bad flushing, itchy nips, brain fog, lack of focus, anxiety, delayed orgasm, weepy, gained 5 pounds when I should have lost 5 pounds, penis wanted to crawl back inside. Labs have all been...

Thanks for the info. I had to chime in here. Maybe not good, but on Monday when I saw my labs and knew how I felt, I bumped up my injection w/o consent to .5ml/50mg on Monday and Thurs. I managed to acquire an Armidex sample and took 1/4 of a tablet. I have to say, today is the best I have felt...

I didn't properly introduce myself. David. I live in the Portland Or. area. 53 y/o. Mostly active guy. MTB, some road riding. But, half ass. Not that fit, lol. Regular, middle aged, suburban guy.

Hi All- I got a secondary hypogonadism diagnosis in January. But, based on what I've learned and have felt, pretty sure I have run low for a very long time. 15 years? Prolly in range but either low or maybe sensitive to E, both? Mostly emotional symptoms, so it is really hard to say. Not sure...
