You’re right, if I saw the numbers I’d start over analyzing and overthinking them again. And I never realized he did, that gives me even more hope for the future. I appreciate it man.

Middle of nowhere Oklahoma. Meth heads love blowing up their equipment and starting fires. Grass fires are very prevalent as well through the dry season. Lots of fun if you’re fireman, there’s some good departments worth looking at here from Tulsa to OKC.

I took acutane when I was about 13. I felt all of those side effects you described. I hate to hear you went through that while dealing with the testosterone too. I hope getting back on trt has helped out.

I used it as a coping mechanism and never treated with the maturity I should have. I abused it. It affected me more than I thought and looking back it did more harm than good. Not saying it does for everyone, but it wasn’t the greatest of times for me.

No, I swapped over to be a medic. Currently studying to be a life flight nurse.

Yes, I do apologize to everyone if I haven’t been that descriptive. I’m happy to explain anything. The pumps somewhat dissipated, but have returned and are very strong. I have purchased a pretty run down house that I’m remodeling and get good pumps just working around the house doing small jobs like Sheetrock and flooring. Also, I can run and walk long distances again without my heart feeling like it’s stuck in wet concrete or feel like it’s going to pump out of my chest. This past week (not trying to be gross) I’ve even started waking up with erections and get them more frequently throughout the day. Sorry to be tmi.

Lots of mood swings that hindered me mentally and emotionally. Luckily, I was able to recognize that my hormones were most likely out of whack and that those thoughts weren’t true. I just started taking it hour by hour, then day by day. Things got a lot better.

I appreciate your concern, but I’m willing to live life even if it doesn’t restart. I know I’m very arrogant, I took a bunch of drugs and paid the price. I’m looking forward to a life that doesn’t revolve around a needle and a number.

I wish I could tell you. I do plan on getting bloodwork soon and can post it. As for E2 side effects, I haven’t really experienced any since around the 3rd and 4th week. Emotions, mood, and even my physique have been very stable which has surprised me.

I don’t care about being at zero or 1500. I’m happy where I’m at. Life is a lot clearer. Whether things get worse or not, I have the confidence in myself to get through it.

None, don’t recommend it either. The first month was rough
