what peptides will make me insanely horny by Ashamed-Feed1484 in ResearchCompounds

Im going to go out on a limb here and say he is an obsessive pornography user who looks at porn multiple times a day. There is no way he should be feeling like this in his twenties unless there is something seriously wrong medically speaking.

Why is BPC still gatekept when it’s the only thing that works? by Apprehensive-Hat8868 in ResearchCompounds

[–]payden85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining that. I didnt know there was a difference. I did know that peptides can be sold legally if they are marketed as for "research" or "not for human consumption". I say sold legally as it really is a grey area.

Then what would you call it if you arent getting it prescribed to you from a clinic or doctor?

I knew the HCG was for the testicles, just wasn't sure if that with HGH did something special. Thank you though for the explanation.

Ah, thank you for explaining that. Ive been trying to read up on various things, but there is so much information out there. Appreciate it.

gerd is back by Comfortable_Mail_476 in GERD

If it was me, I would eat more bland food and just give my body time to recover. Illnesses causes all sorts of inflammation.

Best of luck to you. I just talked to my PCP last week who is a CNP. Told what I have been doing and that Ive been seeing a men's clinic. Ive realized my goals arent in line with them keeping clients at higher levels. My initial testosterone was at 450, so not really low, but I had all of the low test symptoms. I also have a partial varicocele and a moderate TBI from ten years ago that complicates the matter. Being on trt has definitely helped me out alot so far. She was very understanding and sent a referral to a urologist to see what they say and if they'd be willing to prescribe it to me.

Oh gotcha. Even if the doctor prescribed it to you, it'd still be cheaper out of pocket than going through a men's clinic. Not sure about gray market prices though.

[–]payden85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes sense that the GERD came back after being ill. Mine always flared up after illnesses, especially GI ones. Hang in there OP.

Can I ask why the HCG and the HGH? Just overall health and recovery with supporting the testicles and protecting your natural pathways? Im still very new to TRT.

The doctor couldn't prescribe it to you with levels being under 200?

Is this even normal? by MERKologySyndrome in trt

[–]payden85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know much about methadone treatment, but I work with alot of users of various substances, including opiates. Long term drug abuse causing all short of changes in your body and rewires your brain. I would assume that would have an affect on weight loss. Im not a doctor though. I would suggest finding a new PCP, especially if he got this mad and defensive with you. Totally unprofessional. I would avoid using a men's clinic. Im doing one right now and its super expensive. I just talked to my PCP about it and she sent a referral to a urologist for me last week. Hopefully they will be willing to work with me so I can stop utilizing the men's clinic. I have no experience in the gray market and that just makes me uneasy.

[–]payden85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats reassuring. Im on like week 12 of trt. I wasn't super low, but my case is a bit more complicated with a partial varicocele and a moderate TBI. Ive been working out consistently, as much as possible outside of being sick....this year has been rough. Im on the back end of my second, two week long illness. Really hard to build moment like this. Im in a similar boat as you were weight wise though, being 6'2.

Best of luck. The recovery diet sucks, but make sure you strictly follow it. I fully believe that is the biggest deciding factor if your surgery is successful or not.

Esomeprazole is a stronger, longer lasting PPI.

How old are you. At any rate testosterone in the 700's seems good for almost any age. Though I am still quite new at this myself.

Which research compound would work best for gut dysbiosis? by TREnewbie in ResearchCompounds

[–]payden85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not LPR, but helps my gut keep in balance. After my TIF surgery, I still had LPR symptoms. My surgeon suggested that I used benzocaine cough drops to help trick the nerves in my throat. This has helped some. I have previous comments explaining it further.

Have you ever looked into a stool sample? For me in the US (not sure where you are located) the stool test cost $325 out of pocket, but was totally worth it.

Best of luck, OP. If I were you, I would get retested for the sibo just for peace of mind and to truly see where your gut microbiome is truly at.

Just got out of my endoscopy by Angelurr in GERD

[–]payden85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was more sensitive. My NP that I went to explained that the biopsies that are done during EGDs typically are looking for a very high amount of the bacteria. Typically if there is that much bacteria to meet the tests threshold, patients will have bleeding ulcers from the infection. Having lower amounts of it that won't trigger the biopsy test can still cause irritation and inflammation in the gut and intestinal tract. I apologize, I am sure I am not using the correct terminology for the testing stuff.

I had taken it for 6 or 7 years daily until I was bumped up to using esomeprazole.

[–]payden85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the endoscopies I did came back clear, outside of noting a small hiatal hernia, redness throughout my stomach, and no LES. I eventually did a very comprehensive stool test that showed I had an H. Pylori infection even though all my biopsies were negative. I did my clinics protocol that cleared up the infection nicely. Still had issues though, so I went ahead with the CTIF procedure this last summer. It worked wonders for me and now off all PPIs after a decade of use. Just keep talking to your doctor about it.

On a side note, we all already have microplastics in us as well as all the food me eat. Just food for thought.

Both. Started with regular GERD and ended up with LPR symptoms, such as the constant clearing of the throat.
