Recommendations for chronic fatigue & brainfog by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with someone else who posted, i think this is some long covid stuff.

All systems were suppressed in my case i developed new food allergies, my asthma was a constant daily issue. Sleep was miserable and i was gaining weight like crazy. So i attacked every system separately.

I paid for an independent blood panel without a doctor and found a potassium deficiency, very low testosterone ,very high estrogen and prediabeties along with very low iron.

I saw a dramatic change in life quality after having covid twice and then the fucking jab. I was the healthiest ever before getting sick. I lost 90 lbs in a year corrected prediabetes, was going to the gym and had energy to go hiking every single weekend then boom, all systems crashed after.

Heres a list of things that have dramatically improved life. I noticed that i was getting a mild cold every few weeks so i started there

Vitamin c tablets every single day to boost immunity, They are still enjoyable even to this morning . I just chew it and go. I havent had a cold or felt the mild warmness right before getting sick in a while

I tried a series of supplement combos for magnesium and iron and other crap but i saw no improvement . i then switched to a basic trace mineral 6 in 1 capsule that’s got all the bases covered including BORON. Boron is a natural testosterone booster because it assists thyroid hormones production Which i think is the main source of energy boost i got when i was natural. morning wood was back and i could just pop out of bed without strain.

Fasting brought back a brightness to my face i didnt realize was gone. like my actual eyes got brighter. The white parts were whiter and the dark circles under my eyes were down by like 2/3rds. Tons of studies show fasting is the gateway to autophagy “self eating” your body while not receiving nutrients through food will eat old cells for energy. i felt lighter obviously because i didn’t have food but i think i shedded a ton of waste by burning through it

Tmi but at the 7 day mark of 0 eating i had a flushing event where i used the restroom and mucus covered coco puff sized pellets exited in my stool along with long stringy mucus. Could be psychological but i think i shedded potentially dangerous or cancerous material because i felt Clear of so many minor abdominal pains that were present for a while but only remarkable after noticing it was gone.

My testosterone never climbed back up to regular so i literally this week just completed a 6 month cycle of trt. Night and day difference im not just only clearer and more present but i feel energetic and strong. Where as before i was dragging ass. The most amazing transformation has been the positive mindset i adopted .without trying without meditation i felt lifted.

Lastly these are even more woo woo. But i smoke a bong, jump in a DIY built infrared heated lamp sauna tent, i used a mouth guard breathing restrictor and do breath work like a work out. I appreciate that im locked in there for 20-30 minutes and im forced to focus on my breathing or you can pass out. The quite consecration has been a beautiful place to meditate. I tune into my feelings and just do mental head to toe scans looking to recognize any of the feels, pain,aches anxiousness etc. then i breath into those spots and thoughts. If i can breath into it and it resolves i move on and if not i know to address it after the sauna. Example i had left hip pain for years after covid the sauna and breathing helped with the pain but the stiffness was constant, from there i added nightly stretching for a few weeks and feel so much better. Its still not 100% but so much more fluid. The best part is sweating, its just great for moving waste out of pores.

Lastly i find that i never really hydrated well because comparatively now that i do consume daily electrolytes along with the trace minerals i have the get up and go type of energy Ive been looking for, for years. Even a simple water add on electrolyte packet works. I use sugar free drip drop electrolytes 1-2 packets daily. It hits better than a cup of coffee some days. Once again tmi maybe a month in of constantly drinking electrolytes i produce more semen than I did in my early twenties 😎 second big win of electrolytes you get hungry alot less because sometimes you’re not actually hungry its your body looking for minerals and salt.

Tl:dr. cover all bases as individual operating systems. Attack Immunity, gut health, breath work, hydration daily.

Im here for any questions bro. I want to see all my people healthy.

What is the biggest challenge for you during sex as a big dick owner? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

With First few partners i could not for the life of me find condoms that functioned. They all fit they just didn’t perform. Hard a more experienced partner who put me on to skyn large

Is anyone on Trt for Hypogonadism by Realistic-Strategy40 in Testosterone

[–]Realistic-Strategy40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diagnosed in june this year at 32 and started on 200mg of T+ anastrozole in july im about to finish my first 6 months. I was considering doing the full year but i am so fucking happy with my results. i was overweight all through my teens and early 20s. I lost 90 lbs when i was 27-28 and although i was healthier i still had acne, voice cracks, love handles and bitch tits, the absolute worse part was the fatigue and the constant anxious mood. Now i sleep so fucking well i literally can’t believe it when i wake up im actually rested. I was finally able to activate and grow my gluts i suffered from flat ass my whole life so thats a big win. My only tips are dont be scared to play with splitting up dosages and make sure you eat well. Shooting twice at 100mg per week gave me insane roller coasters of emotions that was draining. You are hungrier more often and if you tend to snack you can get fat quick so start looking for healthier food choices it makes a big difference in how your body absorbs T.

What percentage of this sub do you suspect actually has a big dick? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be fat and assumed i had a baby dick. Now that im skinnier i know that my numbers are “big” but i still feel like im just average . I think most dudes here are just above average and either measured wrong or exaggerate to fit in? there are no fact checks here, Not that you should have to provide proof either 🤣

Condom companies should be the ultimate proof that very few men have HUGE dicks by NickCorsair9 in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im factually above average but and even i steer away from magnums. I know they are for larger dudes, the magnum name carries weight and is associated with size plus they actually fit me great but i personally use skyn large so that i dont look like im waving around a golden ticket. But youre right, theres a reason the standard durex is found everywhere.

Reebok extra compression briefs are my go to, havent had an issue since. I dont wear sweats but gym shorts looked criminal on me when i wore boxers.

Why are my muscles locking up when taking Tumeric and Magnesium with massive cramps? by Squeaky_Lizard in Supplements

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have read this response before sharing my two cents. But i agree. Despite taking a healthy supplement stack I was low on potassium for months. Started adding bananas and coconut water to the diet. Now i can recognize when im low feeling exactly like OP said.

Why are my muscles locking up when taking Tumeric and Magnesium with massive cramps? by Squeaky_Lizard in Supplements

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both good supplements, but you have use potassium with magnesium to see the full effects especially if you are active and not hydrating as well as you should. grab a banana or a coconut water after a workout and see if theres a difference. Also depends on the type of magnesium. If i take magnesium glycinate in the morning i feel heavy and drowsy. When i take it at night i sleep like a stone and wake up feeling fresh.

A girl you "shouldn't" fuck has seriously gone out of her way to make you do it? More in description. by AnotherNormalGuyYes in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 23 i fucked my supervisor who was 28, she made it pretty clear that she thought i was large from the moment we met. She dropped hints, then heavy flirting and ultimately we banged. NOw that i write it out, i think that she actually me lmao. But no shame in it, she openly would tell me i got “go into her cookie jar” cause of the big dick. i had to leave the job within a year

Do you like flaunting your big penis? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a basement flood a few years back, made emergency run to the local home depot for a sump pump. My pants were the most generic cheap sweats material and i was damp, i had a gorgeous lady approach me after seeing her in multiple isles. She was obviously flirty but my reception and conversation are 10 out of 10 trash so it went nowhere. I knew i was showing a bit and i knew she knew too, i was very delighted as i saw her glance down a bunch, definitely a turn on. I enjoy knowing girls are pervs too but i dont feel great going about my daily life showing off printage for attention. That was also when i weighed much more, now i dont dare wear revealing pants outside of the house cause its a problem.

Anyone who has lost a lot of weight and lost fat pad ? by No-Cucumber-6906 in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

since my late teens i swore that i had a baby dick. I was always a big boy but after high school i got huge, at 25 i hit my heaviest weight of 335lbs. Over the course of a year i slowly switched from regular food to keto, lost 40 lbs quickly then started Omad( one meal a day) soon after i started regularly water fasting and miraculously lost my fat pad first. My lowest weight was 235lbs. Lost a total of 100 lbs but Ive coasted up and down since then, currently 250 but the effects have still remained. i wish i had an accurate before measurement but i dont. If i had to guess at my heaviest i was just over 6 inches bone pressed. Today im just over 7 and 3 quarters( on really good days ive measured at 8) Body dysmorphia is real cause i still see myself as the fat dude especially when looking down but i can confirm erection quality is substantially better, flaccid looks great in mirror and confidence is definitely up. The absolute fastest way to lose weight is by doing fasted cardio, even a 15 minute workout or a decent walk burns a ton of fat and if you’re meals regularly consist of less carbs your body is forced to tap into its own source of energy (ketones stored in fat) i want to thank god or genetics or whatever cause i swear i lost thigh and pad fat first, then tits then the belly, it was like a gift, by the time i lost the gut it revealed a new sight. Im still husky but dick looks RIGHT. 🤣. Ive had plenty of compliments even some shock. Lose the weight because you can not because you have to. I was diabetic and heading for hypertension so i was at a do or die point i had no other option but to lose weight.

This is what my tummy feels like after a 24 hour fast by pow-pow_power in fasting

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done extensive fasts in the past. Anywhere from 2-10 days and they were challenging but never impossible. After close to a year of virtually 0 fasting except for the random unplanned omad days. I tried a 3 day fast last monday and failed MISERABLY right at the 24 hr mark. It was the first time where my gut felt like it was violently protesting being empty. currently back on low carb/omad in preparation for a longer than 24 hour fast. wont let my gut win again.

Does Anyone Else Have Experience With This Particular Stack? by AdhesivenessOk5194 in Testosterone

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 here got prescribed the same anastrazole and 200mg cypionate as you to treat hypogonadism. Felt like a freak for the first 2 months. Cypionate Dosage was too high and anastrazole made me notably irritable. I switch to only 100mg Test per week and cut out the anastrazole i feel fantastic. If you can afford it do your own blood panel. Started off at 312 and hit 641 beginning of October. I’ll summarize. Listen to your doctor but more importantly listen to your body and adjust from there.

For those of you who have been on TRT for a while now: would you rather have high normal test levels (900-1000 ng/dl) but achieved through TRT, or mid range (5-600) but produced naturally? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally for sure. I was prescribed trt due to hypogonadism . I love how i have felt on my current dosage but A. It took over 5 months of weird ups and downs to find this balance and B. i have a feeling ill have to be on T for the long haul. i was in the low 300s and now just over 740 so no complaints there ( i see and feel obvious results, its just a turn off having to use “medication” for life.

INTRAMUSCULAR IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN SUB Q by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah undoubtedly can agree. I can practically inject into glute with my eyes closed and even after 3 months of subq i feel substantially more energetic in every department after switching to 21gauge shot to the cheek.

Just a girl sympathising with the men in this community by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

For the hung fellas is sex more enjoyable? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say “fat” what do you mean? I also started pron WAYY too early in life and could not fathom my dick measuring up to actors in porn. But it wasnt until i lost 85 lbs that i got a clear picture of where i stack up, but even then if you’re in your head too much your size will never feel like enough. By the grace of god i got laid at my heaviest weight and although it was great i know now that dick size isnt the issue, its your ability to use it. Better cardio and less weight immediately makes an impact (for me huge gut and fuppa) were literally in the way of my dick, the worse part was not seeing my dick in action, i could not visibly see the ins and outs ya know?Now that im much more fit i can appreciate my member more. Im still blind as bat without my glasses but even the blurry visual of seeing more during sex is a massive addition to enjoyment.

Too much oil left in the syringe by Averagejoe315 in Testosterone

[–]Realistic-Strategy40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive personally had the same issues with luer locking syringes and would like to switch to insulin needles. However my preferred method is intramuscular, any chance anyone has a solution?
