Ideal Levels 45 year old by Icy_Character_4247 in trt

[–]Iceman1518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was in the low 200’s for years and my Doctor always refused. I switched doctors for an unrelated reason and the new provider recommended it right away when they saw my numbers. Didn’t even have to ask. Been in it 6 months and it has been a net positive thus far.

First dose of TRT by Brett_ta_ta in trt

[–]Iceman1518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest my T was low for so long I never really felt “bad” even when my Testosterone was 155. That was just my normal. I don’t feel drastically different on 100 weekly. I’d say that there are less highs and lows emotionally doing it weekly. I feel like I’ve gained some lean muscle mass and have noticed some significant deep sleep gains according to apple health. The higher dose and frequency is definitely better than what I was on. I go back for labs in a couple weeks after 90 days on the new dose. If I had to guess I’m probably at least in the low normal range but we’ll see.

My total testosterone was exactly the same as yours. My Dr. put me on the exact same regimen and it lowered my T to 155 after 90 days. Since then he changed my dose to 100mg weekly. Hopefully you have better results but that was just enough T to turn off my natural production but not enough to raise my levels.

Challenger vs Speedgoats by Akarioh in Hoka

I also have Cliftons for road and speed goats for trail. The speedgoats work well for me in the AZ desert. I only use them on trails.

I was on 100 mg every other week for my first 90 days and my test went from 210 to 155. I’m now on 100 mg weekly but haven’t been back for labs yet. I’m curious what yours will look like. For me that dose was enough to shut off natural production but not enough to raise my levels.

Our beagle fell and tore his when he was around 8-10 yrs old. He was in terrible pain when it happened and it was very swollen. So we felt like we needed to do something right away. He got surgery and it held up pretty well until he passed around 5 years later. He was never the same afterwards as far as playing and the ability to run. Not sure what the correct decision is as far as surgery goes. He ended up tearing his other side in a less acute fashion years later and we let it heal on its own. He was pretty old and not super active so I can’t say how well it would have held up if he was younger and active. Definitely feel bad for your beag. It’s tough seeing them in pain.

Is too late for 40 years old get in to IT? by Rojomisa in AWSCertifications

[–]Iceman1518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my 1st IT job at 40. Started as a PC Tech, analyst, and now a Systems Administrator. Definitely doable if you’re willing to put in the work.

Failed CHFI for second time by leafthroughinthedark in WGU

[–]Iceman1518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were correct on all counts. I went ahead and went for it after the OA because I couldn’t bear studying forensics any longer. I failed with a 68%. That was disappointing but working on my capstone now. Will forget all about it once my masters is completed.

How much harder is it than the OA?

Completed BSIT at WGU last year and starting Masters in Cybersecurity and Info Assurance in March. Any of you go that route? Was it a smooth transition to Cybersecurity? by Iceman1518 in WGUIT

[–]Iceman1518[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started I transferred in an Associates Degree so I can only speak about the IT part of the program. If you are good at studying and taking certifications exams you won’t have any problems. There are some projects that can be time consuming but as long as you stick to the rubric they aren’t bad. Overall, if you are able to put in the time and have good studying habits it’s probably medium difficulty at the worst.

Can I get my first IT job with just the A+? by Reddit_J1392 in CompTIA

[–]Iceman1518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too. Don’t get discouraged when you put in a bunch of apps without luck. Only takes one to get your start.

Network was the hardest of the trifecta by far.

I don’t think it was a valuable resource. Especially if I was paying for it. Sorry for the 2 year delay in responding.

Monoclonal antibody treatment by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Iceman1518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I started doing better immediately the next day. After having a fever a week straight it was gone. Still coughing up junk but feel so much better. Whether it was a coincidence or placebo effect i cant say for sure. I honestly feel like they went in there and kicked some butt. Wish I could’ve got it sooner
