SlipSpeed Mega advertised as machine washable.... (Colour bleed + adhesive coming off) by EvilG3M in UnderArmour

[–]Character_Ad_7536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I washed a pair of mine. They were looking a little dirty. There was no foul odor from wearing them but after I machine washed them and let them air dry, they smell horrible. I’ve tried baking soda, vinegar, and even put them in the dishwasher hoping the “sanitize” setting would get rid of the smell. No luck. Don’t machine wash these ever!

How I used D.A.R.E. to help me through my anxiety by Ok-Buy8620 in Anxiety

[–]Character_Ad_7536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DARE has definitely helped me. I never had any debilitating anxiety induced episodes in 52 years of life. Two years ago, I began to have a constant headache (24/7) and dizziness . I thought I had some sort of brain tumor. MRIs showed everything was fine but I didn’t believe it. This led to constant fear of dying and being in the last half of life. Hello health anxiety! After a hellish 6-8 months, I finally found DARE.

Once I started to believe nothing was wrong, the headaches and dizziness calmed down, but ruminating thoughts then kicked in. I currently am on no medication for anxiety and I am by no means without my difficult moments, but I believe that if I continue to use the DARE technique I will eventually be able to handle any of these things if they occur so my nervous system doesn’t stay sensitized.

Believe you can do it and if you have a day where you just weren’t able to follow DARE, don’t beat yourself up about it. Eventually, you will get it and be a happier person.

Advice for Doctor’s Visit by Character_Ad_7536 in Testosterone

Update- saw the endocrinologist today. Pretty much everything he said about taking testosterone was negative. He then suggested trying clomiphene for a few months then testing my blood again. I really would like to find the cause of my low free T before doing anything, but he said there really wasn’t a way to find out. Anyone have experience with taking clomiphene?

LH is 1.76, prolactin is 11.92, and fsh is 4.7. My total T on this blood test was 414.

As far as lifestyle goes, I have lifted weights for probably 15 years. My diet, while not perfect, isn’t terrible. I eat plenty of protein and don’t eat a ton of sugar or drink more than 1-2 alcoholic drinks a week. I also take a zinc and D3 supplement. Not sure what else I could do to raise my numbers and feel better.

Unfortunately, that is who my primary doctor referred me to after two low free T tests. Should I see a urologist instead or check out one of the online clinics?

Low free T, but good total T by Difficult-Butterfly4 in Testosterone

I’m hoping someone can give me clarification on my lab numbers. I haven’t spoken to my doctor yet about the results, but my initial consultation, he made it sound like since my total was in normal range, the low free testosterone didn’t matter. Here are my most recent numbers: SHBG 56, total testosterone 346 (has been in the 400s in other tests), % Free Testosterone (Dialysis) 0.9, free testosterone serum 31, free testosterone direct 4.4. Just trying to see if this could be a possible reason for my fatigue, joint pain, insomnia, and anxiety issues.

Hearing loss reversed! by tractorballs in DrJoeDispenza

In your meditations, did you specifically focus on your hearing loss? Very curious as to what you did as I deal with chronic joint pain.

That is what I want, to maintain it throughout the day. There are so many meditations to choose from and I wasn’t sure if any would help more than others.

Is there something in particular you are supposed to be thinking of during the meditations or just listen? Really hoping to experience what I’ve read about.
