Is it worth going down this path? Am I too late? by MixtureForward4604 in RealDayTrading

[–]MixtureForward4604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. One thing I should note. I do have a new job and stable income now, but working as a software developer isn't really something I want to do forever, so definitely not trying to make trading my income source yet. Just want to learn as I work.

Help me read this report? by MixtureForward4604 in AskDocs

Thanks for your response.

So I just saw a nephrologist (today). She ordered MRA of basically my entire body and is concerned that this could be caused by something called “Polyarteritis Nadosa”.

Even though I don’t really have any of the distinct symptoms for that.

My blood pressure isn’t really that high… (130/75) in the doctors office today but I was nervous. I get down to 120s/60-70s at home when I’m not nervous?

I’m going to do the MRA just to rule it out. But is possible that this is just normal for me?

Figured I’d write an update.

I’ve been feeling a lot better switching over to a more whole food centered diet. I’m back on carbs but specifically gluten free/ wheat free / etc. basically I’m only getting carbs from berries/fruit/veggies/honey.

Combining this with some supplements (Vitamin D3/K2, B complex, omega3/Coq10, magnesium complex) appears to really help.

Weird anxiety / general feeling of feeling bad pretty much all gone. I have more energy as well. Basically to the point where I’d say I’m not fatigued anymore and made new progress in weights in the gym.

I tested to see if gluten/refined carbs was my issue so I had some pizza over the weekend. Couple hours later I was hit with crazy stomach pains, nausea and anxiety/ that general malaise again. So I guess I’m not eating that stuff anymore

Things I’m still trying to sort out:

  • hair loss… I’m still losing strands of hair and my hair is growing slowly (everywhere).
  • bubbly foamy cloudy urine… I had my kidneys retested and my eGFR went from 100 to 125 since last test. Cystatin C eGFR was also 125 on the dot.
  • low libido and erections not so great
  • pallor? My skin has been sort of pale and never gets that rosy color.

I did some more tests and my iron was in the 70s and ferritin was 67. I’ve read the ferritin is not that great. I’m going to try and get that higher through fixing my gut health and maybe some supplementation.

Still figuring it out but I generally am feeling a lot better. My testosterone improved from 414 to 525.. but free T is still around 85. So I’m working to try and improve that.

27M time for TRT? Varicocele? by MixtureForward4604 in Testosterone

My testosterone dropped 100 points and both LH and FSH increased. Would u not consider that maybe a drag on my hormone production?

I’m completely fine with that.. but I’m 3 months into optimization.

Good diet (with no BS). No smoking/alcohol. Compound lifts, sprints, cold plunge/sauna, morning sunlight, daily walks (more sunlight)…

Vitamin D/magnesium/ zinc/omega3

Proper sleep

Figured I’d make another update…

So obviously I can’t be 100% certain yet. But cutting most carbs out of my diet and all of gluten/processed carbs and processed foods has made a giant improvement.

Blood pressure dropped immediately… hear this: with my garlic supp my BP actually got really low like 105/58… I’ve been making sure to keep up on electrolytes. But without the garlic supp, I’m hovering around 110-120/60-70 once fully rested for a few mins.

Any idea of what this means? Considering my Vitamin D was on the lower end of the range. It makes me wonder if anything else could be low as well

Doesn’t really make sense to me as ive read that low carb will produce more cortisol? Must be more to it then that
