  1. muscle repair and DHT

    No, but with a 90% probability I would have BPH by now if I were not taking Avodart. I was already having minor symptoms when I started it. I do not believe there is anything better that you could take to prevent BPH. The more effective ones are going to be operating by the same mechanism but...

  2. muscle repair and DHT

    The number one reason for being on Avodart is to prevent the problems that my father had with BPH. The number 2 reason is to prevent prostate cancer which my father also has. The 3rd and unexpected reason for being on it is that it made me feel better in terms of thermoregulation issues which...

  3. muscle repair and DHT

    I suffer from muscle injuries that do not seem that serious but do not heal even after a very long time despite relatively high testosterone and IGF-1 levels. MGF helps me but does not cure the problem. Recently after trying arimidex and aromasin it seems that I ruled out my high estrogen...

  4. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    I'm really curious what your latest take on progesterone is. It seems that you did that during this period on pain meds. I'm wondering if you think it might be worth revisiting as a way to counter estrogen.

  5. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    Did you do this when you were off the pain meds?

  6. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    It seems like you are having some serious rebound problems. Is there any way you can back off the AIs for a while and tough out the panic attacks?

  7. Are these testosterone levels normal for a 33 yo? Need some advice.

    My answers are: 1. They could be OK. I doubt they are the direct cause of your issues. No, TRT looks like a bad idea for you. 2. Yes, you need further testing and probably not just for hormones. 3. You will find quite a few ideas on this board if you poke around. Here are some: Decreased...

  8. dhea

    I have seen reports of DHEA helping people but like TRT it seems to downregulate natural production so after a while you need more. Long term I wonder if this is really a good way to go. I think it would be much better if you can figure out why your levels are low to begin with and see if...

  9. Sexual Dysfunction, No Libido, Depression-The Matrix and Others

    I'm always of fan of comprehensive testing if you can afford it. If you cannot then you have one big lead - your prior drug abuse. I suspect this is causally related to your current condition. It is probably a combination of physiological and psychological issues at this point. The opioids...

  10. Sexual Dysfunction, No Libido, Depression-The Matrix and Others

    Are you taking any medicines/supplements for anything right now?

  11. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    Darvaset also contains an opioid so it may also mess with your AI.

  12. How to increase your total FREE testosterone

    Yes, and you might try to lower the dose on the T shots too and have them more frequently (twice a week). During your peaks a lot is probably converting to E2. You say you have thyroid issues so how well is that under control? Seems like you need to balance that first and then adjust the T...

  13. Propecia/Rogaine and TRT

    Look into using a topical combining Minoxidil with Azelaic acid (a DHT blocker).

  14. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    The mechanism by which opioids lower T is most likely by increasing aromatization. This is directly fighting against the action of aromasin. Ultram is also an opioid and likely to have similar issues. If you can wean yourself totally off the opioids that will be the only way you can test...

  15. Can a pain med Norco lower T levels on TRT.

    The answer is that the hydrocodone in Norco can definitely slam down your T levels. It is tough to find better pain killers than opioids if that is the class of medication that helps you. Most of the opioids can adversely affect T levels. But some may be better for you than others. The only...

  16. YUP, SHBG 82.4, HELP!!!!!!!

    If you feel fine then why bother messing around with SHBG? The old saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies here - you could cause a problem. Of course I don't mind if you like being a guinea pig for us but it would be more interesting if you actually had some symptoms like ED, fatigue...

  17. YUP, SHBG 82.4, HELP!!!!!!!

    It was never clear to me what your current major problems are from your posts. You mentioned fatigue but you seem to have fixed that by getting off T3. Can you please clarify what symptoms you are hoping to fix? Thanks for the link - the case studies are interesting. I used to take all...

  18. YUP, SHBG 82.4, HELP!!!!!!!

    So did you start on Danazol? How does it feel? It does not seem that the mechanism of action of Danazol is that well known.

  19. 27 and new to TRT...looking for advice!

    Starting TRT before doing more investigation is a bad idea. Most doctors really don't seem to know or care. Surely you need some more labs and after that there are probably better treatment options. You do need to find a better doctor. We would get more insight if you shared more information...

  20. Therapy for the gut

    I saw this one is out there. Have you tried it? While I agree with the matrix that we would like to get at the cause of the inflammation sometimes you can't and perhaps treating the symptoms will provide some relief. Another one along these lines is Cissus which may have some...
