Just wanted to add- not everything is sunshine and roses. My HCT has gone up to 54.5 Due to previous chemo treatment I can't just go to Red Cross. When I do blood tests I need butterfly needles. No decent veins. Tend to have anxiety issues giving blood- though I've been good lately. So, I...

So, I am still on TRT 7mos later despite having some doubts a few months ago. My dosage was raised for a couple weeks, but I didn't feel better...had LOTS of pimples. I tested out to 987, my prior test put me at 700. My Estradiol was up to 69. I returned to my 25mg every 3.5 days regimen...

I appreciate the feedback. I go back and forth on stopping. I'll probably get the labs suggested first and take it from there. I figure if I get strict about my diet and exercise, being on will be a lot easier than being off testosterone.

My BF% is up there. But my face is so bloated my glasses are now tight. Its not really neck fat as I have always had extra skin on my neck even when lean. Testosterone has made this worse to the point I have a double chin starting. I have been up to this weight in the past, but it was mostly in...

45yrs old. Been on TRT a bit under 5mos. 50mg 2x/week. Last test reading before TRT was 225. During TRT I'm at 700. It's GREAT not to have chronic muscle aches and calve spasms weekly during the night. The down side: I have good genetics to build muscle and look like I work out even when I...

Just wanted to follow-up as I saw the Endocrinologist for the 1st time. I was prepared for the worst...a reluctant and arrogant Dr not wanting to issue scripts for the T or give a lower dose, etc... I was pleasantly surprised. He was personable and down to earth. He was open to suggestions and...

In researching I found this: Current Drug Shortage Bulletin: Testosterone Cypionate Intramuscular Injection And this about the 10mL bottles becoming rare... 10ml Testosterone Vials - Endangered Species? - Anabolic.org

Just left CVS where I've gotten my scripts filled several times before. Regardless of how the script was written, I've always gotten a 10mL bottle of testosterone cypionate. So, I filled the script and left without looking in the bag. Turns out I got TWO 1mL bottles of 200mg with 1 refill...

Started TRT for the 2nd time on Thanksgiving. I took my blood test Mon morning prior to injecting. Usually inject 50mg Fri AM and Mon PM. So, 100mg a week. My general Dr told me he wasn't comfortable balancing hormones but gave me a supply to start out until i saw an Endocronologist. I wil see...

OK. Had bloodwork done Monday morning. My GP doc would only do the basic labs and wants the endocrinologist I'll be seeing next week to take over everything. I had given his assistent a letter with all the labs I wanted. It was the kitchen sink of TRT labs. He basically wants the Endo to handle...

Now, a week later I'm happy to report that just using the Salicylic Acid daily has drastically reduced my acne.

Well I just used Salicylic Acid for the first time and like it. I got Clearasil Ultra Acne + Marks Wash and Mask which contains 2% Salicylic Acid. I used nitrile gloves and after wetting them I rubbed the lotion in my hands. Then applied awkwardly but effectively to my back. Also got my neck...

Interesting. I actually drastically reduced my meat intake about 3mos ago.

I have some acne on my upper back and neck with some misc acne elsewhere. I'm going to get an exfoliating back strap. I was wondering if anyone has a soap or acne treatment that works well? There seem to be a fair amount of acne treatments on amazon. It's not an overwhelming amount of...

I hear ya. I'll cross that bridge when it comes. Maybe my Dr can issue a therapeutic blood draw.
