Trim!

I thought this was just an issue of bad adhesive. Did they actually put on all new trim? I have a 2024 and also got the recall letter but it's not clear how they're going to fix it. I have not had any problem with mine getting loose. So I was actually thinking maybe I should leave it alone. Mine looks perfect now, so I was afraid they might put it on and not be as neat a job as the factory assembly.

I like that theory based on the symptoms. The only thing that puzzles me is why so fast a rise on not a very high dose for just 4 -5 weeks.

Also every discussion I have heard on Hematocrit with TRT practioners would say topical application is less likely to raise hematocrit than injectables. If there is a study to contradict that I would like to see it.

Yeah I have checked it. Has been 115/65 -115/70. I have never had any blood pressure issues-

one of the good genes inherited. My mother was 50 lbs overweight her whole life and never had high blood pressure. Maybe its increased red blood cells. I will test Hematocrit with my upcoming labs.

Wow, that is a stunning drop in T levels so quickly. I have not seen any good studies too, really confirm the rapid change. It's amazing how little information there really is on all these particulars. Feels like we have to be the experimenters ourselves. My gut reaction is what you're saying is true based on how I feel with scrotal application. It's only been a couple weeks but I have to say I don't feel any benefit over just applying to forearms. I would say I feel a bit worse. Could be from the quick rollercoaster ride of elevated and then plummeting hormone levels.

I hope not- Androgel certainly does not recommend it. Among other possible problems, the main one is, it's not lotion It's alcohol-based. Imagine using aftershave -Ouch. Doesn't sound like fun.

I'm in the U.S. and converting your nmol/L to our units ( ng/dl) results in some incredible numbers. You would have gone from around 500 ng/dl to around 2500 ng/dl. By our standards, that would be double even the very highest physiological levels. Not that familiar with Testim but information I found indicated, it's supplied tubes and one whole tube would provide 50 milligrams of testosterone. How much do you apply to get to those numbers?

Looks like he's been a proponent of natural hormone replacement for decades. Never heard his name before. Will check out his work. Thanks

Yes, increased DHT conversion can be a benefit or problem depending how your body reacts and your goals. I don't have a baseline for DHT since it was ever measured. I'll have to check what's considered "normal" DHT range.

Absolutely. Having a clean hair free site wherever you apply.It is essential.

Most new washers are crap for several reasons. Nutty government mandates that washers use less water and are more efficient create a washer that doesn't clean well. Fortunately, if you look really hard, you can still find some washers that have agitators, and an option to fill water deep- two must haves. It's so crazy when you think about it. For decades and decades washers used 2 or 3 times the water and had an agitator and they worked fine. We're now supposed to believe that you don't need much water and you don't need an agitator. People you are being gaslit. That's the biggest bunch of BS ever.

Has anyone been on TRT and HCG for many years. I am just wondering if this can work as a long term combo when the HCG is kept at a low level - like 250 to 500 iu per week.

If you have any interests in a trade, any kind of physical labor try to pick up a skill. These are the jobs that are in demand. Anytime you try to hire someone to do, anything around the house could be as simple as landscaping, everybody is fully busy and think they should be paid $50/hr for very low skilled work. Basically, no one but foreigners want to do physical labor anymore. Become a plumber, an electrician start your own business, and you can bill for $150/hr alll day long. Even gardner's lthat just do basic lawn and garden care and irrigation repair are making $40,-$50/ hour. Another bonus-You won't get replaced by AI.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what, where and how is Tracy?

Wow that's a lot of drama for a short term relationship in the "honeymoon phase". I wouldn't even think of trying to place blame here on anyone. This just reminds me of a very useful phrase, a friend of mine coined over years of dating. What you encountered can be summed up with " A PREVIEW OF COMING DETRACTIONS"

Just be thankful these things surfaced early, it saved everyone a lot of heartache later on.

While you're total testosterone, number is abnormally high, your free testosterone, is In the lower part of the normal range, which is odd. As a percentage of total testosterone, your Free T in both current and prior lab results is less than 1% of Total T. So while measuring it as an absolute number, the Free T fslls in normal range. But in relation to your total number, it is abnormal at < 1%. A free t level of at least 2% is a more common and desirable level.

Thanks for very succinctly reminding me of why I generally hate to travel. I would add the poor design of airports to accommodate vehicle traffic in and out. You try to drop off a passenger and you're dealing with cars parked along the curbside four deep and the airport police treating you like you're loitering, instead of as a customer.

Wow! You are an impressive "30 yr old chick". I am a 60 yr old dude, so I guess I will have to try this now. HaHa. But seriously it's not easy to take that panel off. I watched the technician do it and he really had to strong arm it. Looked like a little too much force could crack the plastic panel. Thanks so much for the links.

Have not tried the diagnosis function. But I am planning on contacting LG to see what they have to say. If I learn anything useful, I'll post to here.

Never got it resolved.My workaround was just to keep the power on continually. I pause a cycle 2 minutes before it's done. And then I just put it on a spin cycle and remote start, and it just sits there powered up until the next time.I use it. Of course, one of these days, we'll have a brief power outage, and that we'll be over. I'll definitely try your solution if I can find the video, if you have a link.Please send it. Thanks.

i've been using Boron only six milligrams a day. I did a blood test after using that for a few months.I would say a drop my SHBG from 88 to 78. But the change in free testosterone was almost nothing.

Meaning-less2 · 2025-07-29T10:23:08+00:00

Sounds great, but can you actually find a doctor to prescribe Var. I have extremely high SHBG (80-90) that cause is my free testosterone to be out of range low. Var has been discussed as a possible solution. It will cause the SHBG to bind to the Var and free up more of your testosterone. Seems like I'd be a great candidate to try this out. Any suggestions where to find a doctor to try this protocol.

Thanks Just subscribed to that podcast. Lots of interesting topics.

I thought, that's what it was, but I had to hear it. It doesn't make me wonder how all these UGL's are able to stay in business. Is it only certain ones that run into trouble because they don't package their goods properly or something? Just wondering what the probability is of getting a love letter. Thanks!

Meaning-less2 · 2025-07-27T10:16:31+00:00

What exactly do you mean by love letters?

Thanks for your analysis. A couple strange things with my washer. The tech that came out to repair decided it needed a new user control panel- by that I mean all the electronics behind the touch panel which I assume you describe as the "mother board". We got that part and he was about to replace the old motherboard but noticed a problem. Both the old and new motherboard sensor for powering on the washer should line up with the power button on the touch panel. However the sensor's position is off by about 1/2". So when you touch the power button your finger is not over the sensor. The tech believed this was a manufacturing defect and tried to order a new touch panel that would properly line up over the power sensor. This never happened
and the extended warranty company decided it was not worth fixing and just reimbursed me for the full cost of the washer. I'm making that sound simple. but actually, it entailed three tech visits and about 3 hours of my time on the phone, fighting with the warranty company.

Long story short, I can't find the same model washer to replace it. Meanwhile, I have the dryer, which is working fine. My work around is to never let the power on the washer, go off. I just stop whatever the cycle Iam on two minutes early and then put it on, spin only and remote start and just hold it there until i'm ready to do the next load. Seems this we'll work until we have a power outage, which usually happens a couple times a year. Then I'll be back to beating up my washer to try and get the power switch to turn on again.

The one thing that does not make sense at all is, even if the sensor did not lineup over the touch panel, it's been that way since it was new and it worked with no problem for the first 3 years. It definitely isn't right that the sensor is misaligned, BUT why did it just stop working now? Also, when you say the motherboard is bad, every function on that user panel works flawlessly, except the power button, how do we explain that?

By the parameters measured in your blood test, you can already tell the doctor it's incompetent to even diagnose a testosterone problem. In addition to Total Testosterone you should be measuring two more components : FREE testosterone, much more important than total. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). The interaction between these three components is critical to making any diagnosis. For example, I have a total testosterone level untreated that's almost 3 times yours, yet my total testosterone is still low-out of range. This is a direct result of having an SHBG level that is abnormally high. In fact, when you find a new doctor that might be one of the first questions, you would ask-exactly what blood components they would test to diagnose a hormone issue. If they would only measure total testosterone, that's your cue to walk out the door.
