  1. Lower Back pain after laying down

    After I iced it down and it healed for the most part, I figured I'd just be more careful. I went to an A.R.T. doc to have my shoulder impingement treated and mentioned my lower back and he suggested it is all a lack of stability issue and to do a series of exercises. He thought it is probably...

  2. Lower Back pain after laying down

    Injured lower back after going too heavy on machine squats about a 2 years back, then injured it again last year, although the recovery time was half. Since then, I have been unable to do free barbell squats without sharp pain the following day. I have had to stick to leg presses. In the...

  3. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Just curious if you've ever heard that mannitol/sugar alcohols should not be consumed by a person with a MTHFR defect. The reason I ask: Mannitol is commonly used as a filler in the majority of rhGH and peptide products.

  4. rhGH & COMPOUNDING PHARMACIES

    Anyone know of a compounding pharmacy that will custom compound rhGH without mannitol? The reason I ask is that I am unable to tolerate the mannitol that is in all of the commercial preparations.

  5. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    The take home message from this new study says it all: "... a low FT level is a significant predictor of a risk for loss of appendicular muscle. " nature.com/srep/2013/1305...srep01818.html But what would be the case if you have a normal or high TT and your FT is low, but SHBG is low normal?

  6. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Interesting glucose control supp I just happened on. Wonder about the soy though in terms of estrogens: metagenics.com/mp/products/glucorest ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11516639

  7. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Good to learn something new, thanks. What are your thoughts on stevia? I use it as an alternative to synthetic sweeteners. The studies show that it actually increases insulin sensitivity and doesn't provoke an insulin spike. This is interesting: [tiredthyroid.com/insulin-resistance.html]. I...

  8. HIGH TSH/HIGH T3 - need help

    Latest thyroid labs have thrown me for a real loop. See last column for 05-28-13: [box.com/s/iyg8sw10mfrcg1mtgq5l] How does one make any sense out of a nice and healthy FT3 level and a very hypo TSH - and higher rT3 - all of a sudden, and in fact, the highest TSH level on record for me? Tell me...

  9. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Sorry, the FBG was 91 and spiked to 121. Not too bad, I thought, but then the natural sugar content is very low, around 15g I would say. Tell me more about caber and dostinex; hate adding more drugs, not familiar with either.

  10. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Right now, 50mcg T3 seems to be necessary to get enough T3 into the cells and get my FT3 levels where they need to be. I will be adding dessicated thyroid to help since it has T1, T2, T3, and T4 and probably cutting back on the T3 since I don't have a problem converting T4 to T3. Also, since...

  11. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I spent the last couple days researching IR, as I think it could be a major player in my inability to lose bf. I went into it in detail in this thread: [ allthingsmale.com/forum/showthread.php?22631-Stubborn-fat-loss-insulin-resistance-amp-metformin ] As I concluded in that thread, the problem...

  12. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I am taking 50mcg of T3 currently. I am going to be experimenting with NDT (natural dessicated thyroid) which has T1, T2, T3, T4, calcitonin, and combining it with a lower dose of T3 to see if it will be more effective than T3 alone. Last year, I converted from T4 to T3 too well and...

  13. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I am taking 50mcg of T3 currently. I am going to be experimenting with NDT (natural dessicated thyroid) which has T1, T2, T3, T4, calcitonin, and combining it with a lower dose of T3 to see if it will be more effective than T3 alone. Last year, I converted from T4 to T3 too well and suppressed...

  14. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Thanks for your assistance on putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Like statins, I never tried RYR because it can cause rhabdomyolysis. I was using extended-release niacin, not slow-release which has had problems with toxicity. But too much niacin in general is bad for me because of...

  15. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I have seen my 2-3 hr post-prandial BG go from the mid 90s to 140s from eating most any carbs especially if I don't suppress it with vinegar. I also take chromium, vanadium, and black coffee bean supplements. Yes, I realize it's my LDL-P that is the problem, but if I've made some pretty...

  16. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I know you had asked me this in a previous post back on this thread, but here some relevant data again: FBG range: 86-95 a1c: 5.3 Fasting insulin: 5.7 You can see the rest of my labs including lipids here: [box.com/s/iyg8sw10mfrcg1mtgq5l] Another question: HGH is known to cause IR in some...

  17. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    The following gripe may be a moot point now knowing my latest free T is almost nothing (despite my total T of 557): 11.9 ref range: 09.0-46.0ng/dL. How anyone can lose fat/gain muscle with that is beyond me. Not surprisingly, got some disappointing news again today after doing two follow-up bf...

  18. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Don't know if it makes any difference, but what do you recommend for the best quality GH? My friend said serostim is best but very expensive. Other friends use kigtropin I believe which is from China. Many advise to stay away from anything from China.

  19. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Thanks for getting back. As age plays a factor in declining hormones in my case (I am 53), I really need to address the fact that even though my low free T may come back by now keeping at a lower dose of T3, it may never come back fully to what it was before T3 therapy. You agree? I mean, how...

  20. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I have determined that my liver is fine. It was too much exogenous thyroid hormone (T3) that causes a rise in SHBG which then bound up my Free Test (and E2). Given that, I've done everything I can. Getting back to doing the T cycle combo, since I have a tendency toward estrogen dominance...
