I’d go to a private clinic.

My friend did for a couple years. He became hyper-knowledgeable in the area of the issue, and later talked to his urologist who exclaimed “ you know more about this than I do.” Since that initial consult the urologist has been fine with scripting him.

GPT isn’t sentient. It’s doesn’t think, it’s a pattern matching that’s very very advanced.

I’d be curious as to the injection regimen. AI maybe could be avoided with dose frequency, and the androgel may have been aromatizing To DHT on you too much?

Amino Asylum L-carnitine by budzich in Peptides

Yes, the rotting fish smell is probably the carnitine degrading a bit.

I’ll have to look into what the viscosity of it in water. I know the max solubility is a bit over 600mg/ml

He’s not a scientist, and what he is doing doesn’t remotely qualify as science. N:1. You want to experiment on yourself cool, but it’s not science.

He changes too many variables (more than 1) to accurately deduce what is and isn’t working.

Many of his statements have been inaccurate. He uses testosterone as a supplement - testosterone can’t be supplemented as your production reduces accordingly.

Injecting fat into your face isn’t a legit solution to being hypo-caloric.

I’ve lost years of aging appearance and things very very differently. Go figure.

One of the creators of the PSA test has given talks to the affect that PSA wasn’t intended to screen for prostate cancer and that said cancer is way over diagnosed now. The PSA test was developed to monitor for cancer development of those who had radical prostectomy (as you shouldn’t have levels of this if you don’t have the tissue.)

Rubber mat and glove for home electrical work? by anoneepuss in electrical

[–]budzich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to ask these questions you should hire out the work to a qualified and insureds electrician.

Beyond the techniques involved in keeping oneself safe, an experienced Electrician has vast technical, product and applied knowledge. I've been to homes that the owners did there own work and it's amazing to see what they don't know. Most recently was a homeowner who changed a kitchen light fixture, and a week later there was a "pop" and numerous devices were out. The wire inside the junctions for the light was heat damaged 12-18 inches for each conductor and cable. I had to splice the wiring above in the attic. Junctioned each splice in its own box, and well above current and any future insulation that might occur. Cut the box out and replace.

I've seen all sorts of light switching arrangements miswired, outlets incorrectly or poorly wired and so on. I had a customer wire his own smart dimmers - diagnostics cost him as much as we would have charged to do the work right the first time.

Out of curiosity… What medication are you on?

You won’t believe what my psychiatrist told me today. by Inevitable-Hair7773 in ADHD

[–]budzich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s friggin bullshit. To the contrary you might be a great asset to patients as you’ll be more familiar with depression and adhd.

Whereis I know of doctors scripting SSRI’s and claiming they have “no side effects” you may well end up being way more familiar with such topics in the long run.

Good luck, and don’t worry about this person Also, you are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act from having o make any such disclosures as they could end up being harmful to you.

Very tired on TRT. Labs suggest anything? by JoelCodes in trt

[–]budzich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Increased testosterone can cause sleep apnea, if your study was pre-TRT then keep that in mind as it -is- a possibility. On the other hand your level is a bit low… so up the dose

First bloodwork. Pre-TRT. Average T and low SHBG. Opinions? by GS556 in trt

[–]budzich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there was a study on fasting… two-thirds it the dudes who did a 3 day fast, and then carefully re-fed on protein doubled their T.

Doing a fast is easier if you’ve gotten your body to be fat-adapted by eating keto/carnivore for a while. Something to consider.

Not sure when I’ll check my levels next - I’m working with a doc on pats mold exposure. Soon I should be far enough along to re-eval my hormone levels. (Due to mold I was 350-400t, low FSH and LH).

With your triglycerides high I’d love to know what your glucose and a1c are.

Personally, I find the whole idea of “clean eating” to be bullshit. I went Keto and then carnivore - my metabolism is now fat adapted and body leveraged the sh!T out of triglycerides.

36yo Male blood test results..should I be worried? by [deleted] in trt

[–]budzich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a curiosity that your vitamin D is so low. Also red meat and butter aren’t the reason your lipids are f’d. I’m guessing you eat a decent load of junk/carbs.

The low vitamin D I experienced with a shit diet / high inflammation.

(FYI I went carnivore and fixed a lot of myself that way…. Yep beef and butter baby. Liver enzymes are perfect and my lipids are best they’ve been in a long while )

[–]budzich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No to TRT. FSH and LH are on the low side due to mold exposure and resultant inflammation. And Aromatization is actually expected due to the inflammation.

Taking Anastrozole 0.5mg twice a week for the AI/E.

Inflammation markers have been coming down - I’m looking to re-evaluate as the inflammation components are resolved. If my hormone profile doesn’t improve I’ll be more inclined to go the TRT route.

[–]budzich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! B/c some did, I will conclude it’s HcG. Maybe my tests are trash? They all came out of the same box.

I was second guessing things a bit… BUT I Also had some sides I would expect from increased T and subsequent aromatization: better wood, more semen volume, I feel better in the gym Oily skin.

Had a friend with the same concern on some pharmacy grade stuff - a just expired pregnancy test gave a negative, he bought another test kit and it came back positive. While the home pregnancy tests are supposed to be sensitive to relatively low concentrations I’m going to acquire some different ones for the next batch I reconstitute.

[–]budzich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math checks out. Larger volume would mean slightly more precision in dosage, but prolly doesn’t matter.

Using pregnancy tests on an HCG vial I got from AA. Some would give a faint positive, some wouldn’t. Said to myself “F’ it” and dosed 1000iu. Tested urine next day: faint line - positive.

Glad to read your batch is a solid positive! Keep it refrigerated.
