I wouldn't say I'm "100% Healed" as I still continue to struggle with intermittent "WAVES" on occasion. Never in my wildest dream did I think at now four years post all RX Drugs that I would still be struggling.
My "Iron Levels" were roughly in the same range three months ago prior to resuming TRT Therapy. My "Total T was 172" and "Free T was 5.2" and my "Hemoglobin" levels were 12.7. Perhaps I need to look into various ways I could potentially increase my "Iron Levels"...thank you for giving me some...
Everything has been off ever since going through "Klonopin / Benzo" WD over five years ago! I additionally came off numerous other RX drugs and I'm now 110% RX / Drug free. To the best of my knowledge I can remember this was an issue in years past.
Thanks for your reply as it's greatly appreciated. My "Hemoglobin" test results back in mid October 2022 were also "Low" at 12.7. They were additionally "Low" at 12.5 back in September of 2018.
Hello All
I'm hoping some of you far more knowledgeable than myself can possibly help me out? I recently started TRT again in late October 2022 after a 2.5 year hiatus. My recent blood work states that my "Total Testosterone" is over 1500 and my "Free Testosterone" is 30.1 while my "Estradiol"...
Dr told me the same thing over a year ago "WTH"? After going through Benzo W/D after never being given any form of "Informed Consent" I steer clear of DRs unless (IE) I need a good surgeon etc.
Nine days ago I awoke to flank pain on both sides coupled with testicular pain which radiated into upper abdomen. The aforementioned was accompanied with straining while urinating and the need to go the bathroom 10 to 20 times a day!
I would never consider taking an ABX especially a...
WOW many thanks for all of the valuable information "Much Appreciated" sir! I spent a great deal of time on the phone with various people over at both Labcorp and Medicare with respect to the "Proper Medical Codes"! Initially they both assured me the process of finding the proper codes might...
Even after submitting all of the "Proper Codes", my insurance carrier still elected to not pick up the tab? Can you please tell me both "Where" and "What Test Specifically" you order for only $30.00 as it would be greatly appreciated!
I initially went the route you advised before ultimately going with a company who specializes in hormone replacement therapy. Insurance didn't want to cover anything and I additionally received a bill from Labcorp. I spent the good portion of a full day trying to get my insurance carrier to pay...
Hey Guys
What's the best price for (IE) Test Levels, Estrodial Levels, Red Blood Cell Count, etc? My friend wants to get some blood work done however doesn't want to pay over $150.00.....any ideas?
And now that one is usually more times then not completely screwed up both mentally and physically...heck why not throw in a "antipsychotic ", for good measure! And to make matters worse it often times takes one years not months to get off these drugs..hence a customer for life! Those that...
I think your missing my point? Once "Psychiatry" gains a new customer.....they hope to gain that customer for life! What your psychiatrist will often times do is swap out your "Generic SSRI /Antidepressant", for a new supposedly more powerful drug which costs ones insurance lots of money!
The...
To many young kids are walking into psychiatry thinking they can just quit these drugs without any repercussions! There are countless stories of both kids and young adults who were only on a "Benzo", for (IE) month who are still struggling debilitating affects years later! (PAWS) or Protracted...
What we can do right now is instill this knowledge in as many young men as humanly possible! My son now 14 years old will never go on any "Psychotropic Medication / RX drugs" as he personally watched it almost destroy both of his parents!
We are indeed living in a day and age where...
You're absolutely 100% correct however this is probably never going to happen in my lifetime at least! Testosterone was actually prescribed for both depression and anxiety before "Antidepressants"...I think in the 60s and 70s?!
With testosterone being as cheap as it is and "SSRIS", costing big...
I'm three months post Benzo W/D...brain is slowly beginning to come back online so to speak!
If I go to (IE) Categories->Testosterone replacement->"What Test" should I choose? Discountedlabs has quite a few different tests to choose from?
Thanks,
RC
I know they told me the same thing....however I was just wondering if a site such as Discountedlabs has the same test? Do you always go through your DR or provider when getting labs? Do you ever purchase labs through a site such as Discountedlabs?
Nelson
Thanks for the reply! This is going to be my "12 Week Followup", as I have only been on TRT for three months! I called my clinic today and the following is what their requesting?
CBC, CMP, LIPID PANEL, TESTOSTERONE FREE AND TOTAL, PSA, SHBG, DHEA-S, TSH, ESTRADIOL SENSITIVE ULTRA...
Nelson,
I go through a popular "TRT Clinic" recommended by you guys and I'm trying to save a few dollars! Is this the same test that is usually required when one does follow up "Labs" every three months with a reputable provider? Close to $300.00 every three months X four times a years =$1,200...
I go through a popular "TRT Clinic" who request labs every three months! I'm trying to save a couple dollars by purchasing the same test through "Discount Labs"....is this possible? I need one comprehensive test which encompasses the following!
Here is the list:
-CMP 14
-CBC
LIPID PANEL...
Wow, thank you for the amazing well thought out extremely concise reply! I have been feeling a little under the weather the last few days as I'm currently only "Forty five days post Klonopin w/d". I agree with pretty much everything you wrote and will move forward both listening to the advice...
Congratulations! Quite a few veterans such as yourself are electing to do "TRT Therapy", as opposed to taking often times dangerous psych drugs!
I'm no longer on any RX medication(s)(-: Coming off of Benzo's in my case Klonoppin took me to a place far below the deepest depths of hell! I now...
Probably the greatest "Wisdom", we can share with those males who are younger then us! Most folks simply have no idea what their walking into when they walk into a psychiatrist office! Why would a DR prescribe "Testosterone", when there is zillions of dollars to be made prescribing often times...
My thinking initially when I started "TRT" two weeks ago was similar to what you expressed above! Back in the day when I was competing I would run "Sustanon 250", then after and only after I came off my cycle would I add variables such as "HCG", and "Nolvadex". Occasionally I would use...
Much appreciated my friend! I have created a new thread located here as you suggested(-:
To "HCG" Or Not "HCG" Two Weeks Into Testosterone Therapy Treatment?
"To "HCG" Or Not "HCG" Two Weeks Into Testosterone Therapy Treatment?
So after two weeks of "TRT Treatment", at Cyp 200 mg/ml – 0.40 ml IM/SQ twice weekly or 160 mg a week by balls have indeed elected to shrink! I'm going to include all of my initial labs below and would appreciate various...
Nice "Congratulations"! Coming off all RX drugs one of which included a benzodyazapine took me to a place no human being should ever have to visit! Keep up the solid work...that's quite an achievement my friend(-:
WOW Fantastic post "Thank you"! I will create a new thread moving forward as you suggested! I'm now "Thirty Five Days Post Klonopin Withdraw" after a brutal fifteen month taper! I was on Klonopin for sixteen years @ 1.5 to 2 mg a day! During this time it should noted I developed chronic pain and...
