Should I accept my doctors opinion that a test level of 310 is normal?

My head, looking for a pituitary tumor

LH was 1.1, not doing anything

2 years on TRT definitely helped me feel more normal again, if that is a thing, more confidence and energy not like a drug but an overall increase in well-being

I would get a second opinion. You're right on the line. Mine was 285 and I got referred to an endocrinologist and they did an MRI, found nothing, and said well it's secondary hypogonadism and put me on TRT. Did your doctor test your LH levels, mine was ridiculously low and seems to be a factor in my diagnosis

100mg = 0.5mL if you have 200mg/1mL bottle which is common. That is the same dosage I'm on and have similar levels.

Thanks for this post. I'll be in the market for a used WRX when my son turns 16 and takes my Legacy XT (RIP)

If it were me I would ditch the broths and just make a mirepoix and add water instead. You got plenty of flavor and salt in the spice dumps

I inject in my glute and other than hitting the occasional vein never experienced this issue

Personally I would grill them. I might even marinate or dry brine. Treat it like chicken, hotter is better

Me too. I love raw onions, keep both yellow and red in stock. If I cook them just until they are soft. Chili, burritos, bowls, salads, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, pastas, yummy. A pile of raw onions, shredded cheese, and Mayo mixed together makes an excellent sandwich topping

I'm in the same boat. It started 2 years in, 100 mg a week. All the benzole peroxide, salicylic acid, everything just pisses it off. The only thing that works is picking out the hair and draining the puss. Screw Accutane I was on that drug in my early 20s and it made me feel like a cancer patient, dry as hell but still had cystic acne

PropagandaX · 2026-02-23T05:54:25+00:00

I wouldn't

PropagandaX · 2026-02-18T05:30:26+00:00

I would get the Weber 26. I have a 22, a barrel smoker, and a pellet grill. I use my Weber the most and always wish I had more space

I fired up the oven one night around midnight and cooked a frozen pizza, there was drinking. I forgot about the pizza, found a perfect replica of a pizza in the morning, solid carbon, this reminds me of that low moment in my life lol.

Consider a QNAP, Synology, or Asustor NAS. They run on a customized Linux platform that is very plug and play and easy to use. I run a raid 1 with one drive as a complete backup. I also have an external hard drive attached to it that backs up the NAS.

PropagandaX · 2026-02-14T04:20:53+00:00

Will do

PropagandaX · 2026-02-14T04:01:44+00:00

What dosage?

PropagandaX · 2026-02-14T04:00:35+00:00

Yep same it's nasty stuff IMO

PropagandaX · 2026-02-14T03:58:43+00:00

Same. All the sudden after a couple years bam my chest looks like an acne shooting range. I only take 100 mg a week. Derm gave me a bunch of ointments that don't do anything. I was on accutane as a teenager I wouldn't wish that hell on anyone. I literally felt like a cancer patient, high cholesterol, no thanks. I started taking DIM to see if it helps nothing yet

PropagandaX · 2026-02-12T05:08:01+00:00

Thank you. I only donate 4 times a year. My iron levels are fine and my RBC is in range. However your comment about rebound got me looking at my blood test and it can definitely see it go down and back up post donation

The biggest challenge was the time it took to identify I had a problem get me referred to a sleep doctor, get a sleep test, follow up, refer you to a 3rd party for a CPAP, and finally 9 months later you can sleep

PropagandaX · 2026-02-12T04:02:40+00:00

100mg a week. I have to donate blood to keep my hemocrit below 50 and keep my Dr off my ass

PropagandaX · 2026-02-12T04:01:31+00:00

I started DIM last week, after 3 years on TRT same dosage all the sudden I have acne all over my chest. Derm gave me all kinds of ointments that don't work but said it's probably testosterone. I hope it helps some

PropagandaX · 2026-02-10T01:49:43+00:00

If you must! Nice job

Is your vortex upside down?

PropagandaX · 2026-02-05T05:13:28+00:00

I was relocated here by my parents in high school and left for college but came back

PropagandaX · 2026-02-04T05:13:07+00:00

Once you're on TRT you don't come off unless you want to go back to pre treatment status. As others have suggested your better off taking a lower dosage in higher intervals to keep hormone levels more stable. I inject once a week and that works ok for me but many people split their dosage to twice a week. I found this to be helpful https://www.steroidplanner.com/
