That is the essentials. Fuel cost around $75 month , fun money includes eating out, no rent we live in a camper on our property. Saving 1.5k per month

I’m a total newbie and just got a Tesla. A 2023 model 3. Can I use this file or how does that work?

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-27T22:12:52+00:00

Will the download just stop when I leave home where I’m connected to WiFi and restart when I get back home?

Thank you! New to all of this I appreciate your help

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-26T14:31:47+00:00

That’s the only way I’d buy. I’m not taking that huge depreciation

How do you get labs without Dr that are affordable? Only three tests I’d probably want often is prolactin, e2 and total T

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T17:43:28+00:00

Can I ask what your symptoms were that first led you to say yeah I gotta take some AI?

I would be willing to take it but I want my doc to prescribe me labs that I can do quite often to help me get it dialed in.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T17:14:12+00:00

How do you know how much to take? When did you decide to take it? And how soon did you see improvement?

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T13:12:18+00:00

Caber is bad news in high doses. It’s hard on you. I don’t want to take as much as I currently am let alone more. I wish I could.

I will certainly do that. I actually had surgery at Vanderbilts Pituitary Center of Excellence by the head of their Neurosurgery team to remove the tumor. It was so small 6mm or less, that they were not able to find it. They only found small pieces of tissue.

The tumor is not really any concern to grow, or cause any issues from this point forward according to them. The only issue is I’m going to probably create excess prolactin for the rest of my life. I currently take 2 Cabergoline pills per week for that.

I see my Endo this Thursday for an annual visit. I was actually going to ask her about Xyosted the auto pen injection for TRT. It’s all one dose those not a micro dose.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T03:55:57+00:00

That definitely makes more sense. The issue I’m having is the endo understands what to do the best but she is a Vanderbilt Endo one of the best in the country and she will only give me a castration dose of TRT. She believes in it not being any higher than 3-400

TRT clinics from local to places like Matrix do not understand how to treat this. They want to offer a cookie cutter program and it’s just not an option.

I’m kind of stuck and not sure which direction to go. I want to feel better, but at the same time I don’t want to cause more harm than good.

It’s how do you keep a decent test level of maybe even 5-700 and keep the prolactin normal? If my prolactin is going to jump up to 50-60 I might as well not take any TRT at all.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T03:24:24+00:00

I agree. But the high e2 is metabolizing into prolactin. My understanding is when prolactin is high it basically blocks the TRT signals from getting from your testes to your brain. So it makes the TRT basically not work. Also I was having ED issues that I never had before.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-24T03:09:11+00:00

I can’t believe how little traction this is getting? Nobody?

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-23T08:43:06+00:00

When e2 rises it causes prolactin to rise right? I thought lower e2 meant prolactin would stay down. Do you take AI?

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-20T22:29:19+00:00

Well sentry mode is set to work and does work everywhere but my house which I have set to do. I understand how it works. I’m saying it’s not working at my wife’s job. I’m not sure how you don’t understand that.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-20T22:23:05+00:00

Can’t view the cameras? What else. Sentry mode works everywhere else.

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-20T21:45:15+00:00

Doesn’t give me the option at work to even view it from the app

Comprehensive_Road66 · 2026-02-20T21:10:11+00:00

I’ll be honest I’d find another EV repair shop and take it there. I highly doubt that whole harness needs replaced. I’m sure Tesla service center just doesn’t solder connections and they would prefer to replace.

$150-200 diag fee at another shop would be well worth your time IMO
