I was in that near homeless situation for a few months and rented a bedroom where I've done little but sit in a room for a year. At least it's warm. Since this thread exists, it’s easiest to ask all my questions on it. This has been a hell of a ride. Without steroids, I’d have been bedridden...

Yeah, I'm now homeless. Someone is letting me sleep in an uninsulated, partly dirt one car garage with power, no cooling, in a heatwave and we almost burned down a few days ago as insult to injury. I have to go elsewhere to reach wifi. I'm grateful to have this. Why do you ask? Do you have a...

"A wife can only help." Not sure what you mean. Without a sex life Medicare sees sexual health as irrelevant. With a sexual partner I can offer feedback, without I cannot. I don't date, would not accept a one night stand, and don't quite see how I'll meet anyone. Here on a forum, lets assume I...

Saw an Endocrinologist about three years ago, wouldn't do the obvious even though I had the Mayo Clinic (research library will research advanced subjects for the public) and a blood lab doctor saying I needed therapeutic phlebotomy desperately. Had this been caught earlier, all I would have had...

Crickets? Hey I know new doctors look at that and say, "Hell No! I'm not taking this patient." Any advice would be taken as tentative. Did I say I have hemachromatosis? That's not the whole story. I have one gene for Hereditary Hemachromatosis; which is where someone can't shed iron and gets...

Seems like since my question hasn't really changed, to keep it on the same old thread. I see I haven't updated in a year and a half. I've been in bed almost that whole time, struggle to get normal stuff done, and my SADIST doctor just checked my levels twice thinking maybe I should lower dose...

I've been pushing my doctors to find the cause, they haven't and they won't put forward the effort. As my doctors will tell you my care suffers from being fragmented. In fact, I need to switch medical systems. They referred me to Mayo Clinic, but the logistics of going for a month are near...

This isn't going the direction I was hoping. I am inherently extremely powerful. Though I've spent most of the last month in bed, I just dropped and did eight pushups. Eight throwing my entire body in the air and clapping push ups! That's right, when completely sedentary, I can do what most...

It's not going to happen. I will not get healthy. TRT is not for people who are healthy. I've been 'housebound' most of the time for the last 15 years, with my only reprieve being from taking steroids. Doctors that a Medicare patient is allowed to see do not know nor care anything about...

I get therapeutic phlebotomy (blood draining) of 500ml per session, twice what someone donates. This is up to every two weeks, currently every six weeks, based on results of CBC tests. My Hematologist (blood doctor) told me to go ahead and inject 200mg/wk testosterone and he'll monitor my...

We have different conditions. I've never had swelling, and even tight socks hurt. Those would be counterproductive for me.

My relevant history is already on this forum in five years of posting. No other medications are relevant to this forum. I don't take antidepressants. I went off cycle and have been off cycle for a couple months at this point. I'm going to go back on, but intend to do cycles because "just...

I have ‘orthostatic hypotension’ and other strange symptoms that are alleviated by injecting testosterone. After five years injecting nonstop, I tapered off and have been off for a couple months. I’ll go back on if I need a cane to walk, or in a few months. Doctors don’t know what’s wrong with...

snip snip I started out the thread not going to go into it, but what the hell, I have nothing to hide. There's a permanent stone in my right 'vas' or seminal vesicle that they've confirmed for over a decade, but I can't seem to get them to remove it! My right epididimus often hurts or gets...

Megatron: Read your stickies; very informative. But... What does a normal man require to stay at high total T with their own production shut off? (you showed a chart with response to doses but not long term effect of steady dose HRT) Am I injecting more than needed already? If so, what...
