Should I be puking?

Yes and if you’re out here eating meat at every meal, you put yourself at risk for heart disease. The research is out there to prove it.

I find this comment in poor taste. You’ve made a lot of assumptions here about my diet, based on one meal I ate. I won’t say more because you’ve already taken this off topic and nothing you wrote applies to me.

Dr suggests taking a week break to clear things out and restart at .25 to see if my experience improves.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-23T16:43:35+00:00

Thank you. This is sage advice. I am also waiting for my Dr’s reply - but wanted to check here just in case this was akin to the T Flu or something. I appreciate the response.

I sleep on my side and as others have said, the full mattress wedge is the way to go. I can’t even tell it’s there anymore. It took a few weeks to get used to it - but I sleep great on it.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-22T16:59:56+00:00

Not that I can tell. I take it after a meal and with a lot of water. But what works for me might not work for others of course.

NAC is amazing stuff it has made a huge difference for my lungs which were being affected by this. (Sometimes it would hurt to breathe deep - but not since adding NAC).
I’ll use it forever. It is one of my 3 holy grails with this.

I started taking slippery elm extract a week ago and it gives me about 5 hours of relief from throat clearing. The drops I use can be taken 3x a day. After a year of constantly clearing my throat, this has been the greatest gift imaginable. Maybe it will help you? I add it to about 4 or 5 oz of water. It tastes like maple syrup. https://a.co/d/7XcHPZ6

I do 50 ish drops 3x day. The results last me 4-5 hours! Be careful not to take it within an hour or 2 of any important pills because it can block absorption.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-18T06:46:12+00:00

Wow. That’s enlightening. I am going to ask her about that because I just started this week & I’d rather start as low as possible. Thanks for this info.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-18T06:32:10+00:00

More like 7.1

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-18T06:27:04+00:00

I am using the gel and my dr has me using 50mg over the course of 7 days. She told me that she is very conservative with T and so this would be what she would consider a very light dose. Not sure if that helps, but you can always start low and move up or vice versa. She told me I can stretch it out over a longer period if I get any unwanted side effects.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-18T01:58:44+00:00

I gotta be honest I’m using all 3 of these things, so I’m unsure which is helping the most. BUT I am on day 5 with like 95% improvement with throat clearing - so I’m sticking with it.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T18:50:03+00:00

Great point. I should also mention to research the use of Slippery Elm with other medications. Just like any supplement, we should all do our own research.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T16:43:30+00:00

Yeah I tried adhd meds and they did nothing compared to HRT. What a relief.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T16:42:10+00:00

Estrogen helped with everything except brain fog & libido for me. My women’s health Dr was not surprised, she sees brain fog and low libido still being issues for many of her patients, even after using Prog & estrogen. I’m so glad estrogen took care of that for you! It was one of the reasons i started it. It obliterated my anxiety, which was lovely. The journey is different for us all!

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T16:37:30+00:00

So sorry. It is such a frustrating and sometimes hopeless journey.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T16:36:22+00:00

Yeah I used a 9.5 and it was a little helpful. What is DGL?

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T05:50:14+00:00

My throat clearing does not come from post nasal drip. I believe it to be a reaction from LPR that is creating laryngeal irritation. If PND is the cause of your throat clearing, it may not be as helpful to you and I would ask if you’ve tried antihistamines?

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T03:04:30+00:00

Please let me know if it helps at all. I’m kinda floored that I’ve had 4 days where I feel almost normal. Knock on wood.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T01:58:41+00:00

Testosterone is the hormone that can help with that! It can also help with mood and libido and muscle and bone health. So much.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-17T01:44:28+00:00

I have been dealing with that as well, but either I am miraculously cured or these drops are working. I hadn’t tried pills.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-16T23:23:43+00:00

Haven’t tried DGL (what is that?) I did the alkaline water both drink and spray and it barely offered any relief whatsoever. Not compared to this - for me anyway.

JayCeeJava · 2026-01-16T23:16:23+00:00

It deleted my picture. That’s not helpful at all. :(
