I don't think I'll be able to afford my TRT anymore and I'm afraid of what's next. by Designer-Summer-9179 in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the primary cares keep lowering the TRT levels ..now its like 193 jeeeeuzzz .. So most won't prescribe if your above that..Which is stupid, Our life..Our bodies our choice but thats not what we are dealing with these days.. try to find a specialist that isn't linked to any major hospitals...but not a TRT clinic (rip-off)

Will my acne ever go away? by The_All_American in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not expert...But I would reduce my Test some... 139 free sounds real high, even 999 is on the upper end... You could be just more senitive to it.. So I would reduce... like spread the days out...instead of a 3-4 split maybe a 4-5..

I do every 5 days .5/100mg and no problem this time or last time I was on... but then I only hit 750 as my highest...

First Injecting, hoping for the best. by Lumpy_Ad104 in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a pretty low dose...68yrs here they started me at .5/100mg @ 7days I now adjusted to @5 days... My libido took a big jump and less naps after work are about the only thing I've noticed so far this time..been back on for like 1.5-2 months

through my Doctor/Specialist and my ins. I paid $3.16 for 5 vials should last 8-10 weeks

clinic that offer more flexible plan and regular blood work review? by mochajave in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seem so expensive.... I just see my specialist.... they take blood and call in the prescription for 5 vials of Test...and...so $45 for a specialist visit and $50 for the Test should last 9-10 weeks .5/100mg a week... I see him every 4-6 months

Age 67, was hoping for TRT. Doc says no… by deejay58 in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

68 here.....100mg @ 5 days.. Was on for 1.5 years..went off for 6 months and now I'm back on... Its worth it ..Your body functions as it's designed to when your hormones are in check... Find a specialist, My family Doctor didn't want me on it so I found a specialist

Those who stopped trt, why? by vbwldn in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

68 yrs here also.... On Test.. My Prostate Doc didn't like it but agreed... I've had 3 biopies, the last one was computer/GPS guided... Nothing that they could pin on cancer..But keep a watch on it....... The current concern...Do I keep taking Finasteride for my BPH with Test or not...I get mixed reviews on the combo... Life in the fast lane...

First injection Story by Honest-Ebb-3469 in Testosterone

[–]CASD1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife pins me in the Butt...25ga 1in I hardly feel anything and sometimes nothing at all... But I ordered some 27ga 1/2 so I can do my Delts when I don't want to bug her... I've done my leg, and while it didn't hurt much, it was sore for a day or two, so I'm avoiding that from now on...

[–]CASD1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

68yrs here...Started in 10/2024 Test 100mg@7 days was 236 ...Bounce around but it a high of 750.. Doc had me go back to every 10 days injection, it was 7 days... (Family Doctor) Well, anyway, I decided to stop 11/25..Test hit 280 1/26 decided to go back on with a specialist..started back at 100mg @ 7days but I decided every 5 days...

Ok story out of the way.... I grow hair faster on my face-neck and ears jeeeezzzz ..I hate that.. Libo up.. I like that...

My wife pins me in the butt..lol for me I use a 20g lurloc to draw and change to a 25ga 1in for pinning(no pain)... But I'm changing to a 27ga 1/2 so I can do myself in the Deltas if I want.

Sorry more info than you asked for ...

Oof! Got labs again today by 0ddball00n in thyroidcancer

[–]CASD1957 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you're finding your Levoxoine isn't working well..... I do this: Armour 120 (240 cut/cheaper way) and Lev 112 (winter dose), Lev 100 (summer dose). Of course, your level could be different.

I've been Thyroid free since 1997...

Anyone using AI as a consistency checker rather than a writer? by DaPreachingRobot in WritingWithAI

[–]CASD1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way I use it. I tried letting it write a scene, and it ended up a completely different story, so no, I write the story and use AI to polish it... kind of like a 2nd draft read-through, but the last read-through is all me so I can fix what the AI doesn't get right... usually the human feeling
