    Thanks for the input guys, I'm getting a little more relaxed with the idea; still have some reservations though.
  2. Worried about pituitary MRI with gadolinium dye

    Yeah there lots of gadolinium reactions/issues supposedly. Google: gadolinium MRI and you will be shocked as was I.

    DetroitHamer- You posted in one of the duplicate threads of this thread (I'm not sure how duplicates were made but this is the real one, I am trying to get mods to delete the other 2 duplicates. Anyway you posted: "Long distance running will kill your test levels. I ran 6 miles a day and my...
  4. Worried about pituitary MRI with gadolinium dye

    I just found out that I pretty much have to get a pituitary MRI with and without gadolinium dye performed in order to further look into my Low T problems to rule out a pituitary tumor. I am worried about the use of the gadolinium dye because I have read how nasty this stuff can be. Has anyone...

    Thanks Matrix, but this 1 of 2 duplicates of my previous thread. I'm not sure why it got duplicated. Mods could you delete this thread. The REAL thread is the one with the same title, but has like 15 replies. Thanks

    Mkretz- I will definitely post my results once I have them tested. I am hoping to get them tested at the end of the week along with a lot of throid tests. I am also trying to get a food allergy test. Now that I look back at the past 6 months to a year, although I was training decently hard...
  7. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    Thanks. I try to live as healthy as possible, including a healthy diet and exercise. It just sucks when one tries to do all they can do to live as healthy as possible, but still feels like crap. And then finds that Hormone levels are very low and that am FAR from healthy. One day at a time I...
  8. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    I hear ya, but I would say that I do indeed have a truely balanced diet (unless like I said I have a hidden food allergy that is causing malabsorbtion). IN a geiven week I'll eat: eggs (whole and egg whites, ezekial sproated wheat bread, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, apples...
  9. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    So you think I should get all of those tested? What is FT? My nutrition is great (unless I have an unknown food allergy, which I am going to get checked out), I meditate when I can to help manage stress. I'm sort of stressed out, but I think all grad students are. I don't drink, smoke, or do...

    Good points. Yeah the sleep issue is ruining me. The problem is I have really good sleep "hygiene"; I got to bed at a good time 9 pm and can sleep all the way until 6 am if I am able to, but my body never lets me sleep that long, I wake up around 3 am a lot of times and can't go back to bed...
  11. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    To add to my symptom list I also have joint pain: Suffered from patellar tendonitis for over a year (and I wasn't even running that much), I also get extremely hungry lat at night and my hands and feet seem to get even colder after I eat. Just a few more I thought I'd add.
  12. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    Thanks for your help Matrix. Yeah I am definitely looking for a long term solution. My original Dr. wanted to go with a short term solution, suggesting HRT, but wanting to have kids someday and other factors; I wanted to try to sort this out naturally IF possible. That is why I cut down on...
  13. Need help. 28 yrs old Low testosterone questions.

    Lets try this again. I'm new to this board; it was recommended from a guy in a different group. Lots of good info here, glad I found it. Anyway here is my story thus far: I am 28 years old and had been feeling very crappy for a while and went to the doc and got my testosterone levels tested...
  14. Need a good protein/energy bar for preworkout

    Good choice for a pre workout bar, a good mix of fast and slow digesting carbs. I've always liked Kashi products; quality ingredients. Their cerals are really good too if you don't mind a little soy protein. Kashi Go lean is addicting!
  15. heavy 4 day split

    Totally agree, especially Leg extensions. Lots of these will leave your knees in a world of pain down the road, too much sheering force applied to joint.
