I am not on cycle never have been but, have seen it mentioned in the past in this forum. Is there anything that can be taken to help with low RBC and WBC?
Yeah, it will pass. Thanks!
Just couldnāt squat this morning because my heart was trying to break my rib cage.

Absolutely. Hormones can change immediately based on neural feedback.

Ms ms are you seeking treatment for Graveās? Constant tachycardia due to elevated thyroid hormone over a long period of time can lead to the development of cardiomyopathy. Beta-blockers can help for the fast heart rate and tremors associated with graves and taking care of these symptoms can thus alleviate many of the mental sides associated with anxiety (as itās a vicious cycle between physiological and mental with regard to anxiety). Iāve noticed Iām never really anxious anymore, I can thank beta blockers for that.
Only time I get anxious now is prior to large social gatherings full of people whom I donāt know (I tend to go to these events/parties or whatever hosted by other kids/young adults in attempts to meet new people and/or potentially meet a girl, however itās nerve wracking when you know no one). Always gets better when the socialising begins though.
Anyhow, why donāt you seek treatment? Whatās youāre resting HR? Do you live with constant tachycardia?

Thank you. I just havenāt been able to find the answer.
What like tronopin? What a load of crap (not on youāre part), to find out if thereās an issue with youāre heart, an echocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound or MRI is needed, even an EKG would be good, esp if you always have tachycardia.
By stumbling are you talking about premature ventricular contractions? I get one every couple days, sometimes they happen more often but are otherwise very rare (although alcohol brings it on for me the day after likely due to electrolyte depletion and induced endothelial dysfunctionā¦ alcohol is quite proarrythmiacā¦ and super toxicā¦ why is it legal again?).
I canāt imagine how anxious Iād be with a RHR over 100, mineās like 56BPM (though shoots up when I stand up by a ton #autonomicdysfunction), beta blockers simply largely amoreliate this issue
You should seek treatment again, donāt stop trying until you receive adequate treatment, this is youāre longevity youāre dealing with. Ask Mr Dr Mr Dr Sir Sirrington how heād treat you (through email), Iām sure he would act differently compared to the docs youāve currently seen. Can you afford to go private? (private healthcare), the doctors who work in private practice tend to be more knowledgable.
Please, donāt give up, if youāre having frequent arrhythmias, have a RHR over 100 and have GRAVEāS DISEASE seek out help. (actually any of those three variables by themselves one should seek treatment for). Even if it was simple IST, a beta blocker would help (however the fast HR for you is almost certainly thyroid related, not IST)
Good sir, after a few years of research and hard training and dieting getting back into shape after a depressive rut Iāve prepared to do a cycle. Iām doing test e only at 250mg x2 a week and I believe Iāve done enough thought to find it necessary to keep my youthful nuts sizable and take hcg 250iu x2 a week during cycle. Though from what I have been reading from you, you think an AI is unnecessary most times. I have read a lot of your posts and was wondering if I should just run a lower dose of nolva 10-20mg ED or EOD on cycle to combat any sides? Iāve also read this could defeat the purpose of the cycle (IGF1 decrease). I feel like Iāve hit a roadblock in planning this cycle because most people seem to favor an AI(donāt want to crash my E2 and get down in the dirt) but I also donāt want to waste time pinning Pharma test to limit myself with nolva. Is this an exaggeration? Should i be fine with this cycle gain wise and side wise? Should I leave nolva use while on more spaced out? I plan on following the general PCT protocol of 40/40/20/20 and if Iām running hcg during cycle how should I think about my use of hcg in pct if at all? I know hcg will help prevent or reduce atrophy of the nuts on cycle and as a result my endogenous test would still run further bumping up my test. Am I going to run into more aromatase issues running hcg on cycle? Iām being bombarded saying to take 12.5mg aromasin or .25-.5 adex EOD.
Iām around 10% bodyfat currently at 5 ft 9 like 152 pounds give or take a few for water weight fluctuation. I just want to have a smooth cycle because I need to be 2 weeks into my pct before I fly back to uni since I go across the country for college. I have every date planned out and will get bloods pre cycle and at week 6. Previous bloods have my natural test at 623 ng/dL.
Starting mid or late May ending early to mid August, just want to clarify SERM vs AI during cycle and when to use if my current plan is too much or too little be it dose or frequency
Hey man 
how old are you? Whatās your training history? Your weight is really light - Iām not sure a cycle makes sense at this point and perhaps hitting the weights and the food is a better fit. Tell us more about you.
sorry to hear about your depressive issues. That sucks but youāre on the right track. The IGF decrease from tamoxifen is so low compared to the increase from test - not to mention that igf is just one of the many things anabolics do to increase growth on cycle
Do NOT run HCG on cycle and donāt touch aromasin or adex.

@ChickenLittle did you actually get the graves diagnosis we discussed previously? Remind me please. A RH over 100 concerns me. And no - fire ants arenāt good for anyone

He said it looked like mild graves because my TSH was .23 and the Trab was slightly out of range. He did not feel that any more testing or treatment was necessary.
The HR issue is nothing new. Many years ago the cardiologist said it was just a neurocardiogentic syncope. He prescribed some beta blockers but, honestly they just seemed to exacerbate the problem. So, that didnāt last long.
I know āLittleā Dr Sir means well, but doctor shopping it quite expensive if you donāt have insurance. I have neither the time, money, or mental capacity to do it.
Have you ever passed out? Like ā¦ Randomly in reaction to stress. If youāre HR if always 100+ itās not neurocardiogenic syncope. Neurocardiogenic syncope is sudden fainting at random, usually triggered by a stressful event or something, people with autonomic dysfunction such as myself can experience something similar (not syncope, but a rapid rise in HR upon standing, pots, orthostatic hypotension and whatnot) sometime syncope but Iāve never fainted.)
However neurocardiogenic syncope can be caused by like ā¦ Some people hate blood, so that could cause it. Spiders???

No. I have come close but never actually lost consciousness.
Sorry to hear you have to deal with this. I send my sympathies and this gif of an octopus waving hello
So adorable, it thinks it has little hands.
Do they not have healthcare in the US? Here we have Medicare which gives significant rebates from appointments/ medical consultations. Most Aussie residents have access to Medicare at little to no cost.
Private healthcare is a different story, expensive. Most guys here who want HRT/TRT/PEDās prescribed without valid reasons tend to pay completely out of pocket, costs an arm and a leg (note thatās not how I get my TRT, I have my TRT prescribed via a legitimate andrologist (not dr zentzner either), heās quite popular among guys seeking TRT here.

Aweā¦ itās so cute! They are very intelligent creatures.
We do have Medicare when you reach a certain age and we also have Medicaid which you have to āqualifyā for. I donāt qualify for either one.
Iām really not worried about it. It will be fine.
Huh, in Aus Medicare in universal, just about everyone has access to it. Otherwise a simple 15 min visit to the gp would cost like 70$
Youāre older than me and thus likely a shit ton more responsible than I am thus with my flawed teenager logic my conclusion is if you say itās fine Iām inclined to believe you as you have more experience with this stuff than I do as itās youāre body and only you can really know whether youāre fine or not.
Stay safe

Doc and members.
I have a couple questions in regards to trt and erecting strength.
-
Does trt make erections stronger over time? Iām 3-4 months in and have noticed better labido but erections are still 80% as they have been since my early 30s. Girth is better and thatās a plus.
-
What do you recommend to increase the strength.
I know Cialis and Viagra will probably do the trick, but why did this happen in the first place. Itās been a decade since I have had a rock hard erection. Surely there must be a way to fix or improve without taking a magic pill every time.
Have you tried any kind of nitric oxide stack?
Iām turning 22 in September but I use to be 165 around the same bodyfat before an abusive relationship. My deadlift use to be 385 for 2 squat 275 and bench 215 (shit bench I know) my stats are currently around 185 on bench and my deadlift as of recent maxed out at 315 but my squat is almost back where it use to be around 225 currently though not as smooth as Iād like, my hip thrust is currently my favorite compound because it pleases my sugar mama. My pr for thrust I havenāt tried 1RM but have done 360 for 6, Iām an hbio major currently at usc. I know Iām not starting on the most solid muscle base but I have extensive training and diet knowledge. This is all I ever do, I have been eating nothing but chicken and broccoli and rice/sweet potatoes for last few months. No urge to cheat, Iām aspergers so I find my solace in the gym and with my girl. I have no urges to drink, donāt really like it. I started lifting at 14 and was very swole wth the PRs above around 18 but I had an abusive ex who made false r allegations at start of uni and I got in a rut trying to transfer to Usc. But now Iām here and since last year have lost over 70 pounds(maybe more because Iāve recouped a lot of gains that disappeared in the 1.5 year do nothing state where I smoked weed everyday and ate endless amounts of frozen pizzas etc)
My current prs are what I can do for at least 6 reps except the deadlift, that current PR I only banged out for a few but I focus more on TUT and the mind muscle connection in my workouts, Iāve no interest in powerlifting just bodybuilding. Sorry if my posts are too long Iām very talkative and informative(overly so) and another thing of note is I had precocious puberty so I started at age 8 and was shaving a full beard since 12. No idea what this might say about my DHT and genera hormones currently but I donāt need steroids to boost my sex drive because I lost my last gf because I did her 27 times in 36 hours and not for short durations. Sadly Iām balding fairly well at the crown, in part to genetics and I suppose also early puberty. Much older history but when I was 9 getting blood tests they said I had the bone density of a 15 year old and I have not grown at all since 17. Iām honestly a powerhouse of hormones but my doctor wonāt even let me get finasteride to block dht so Iāve decided I really donāt want to be bald and small.
Iāve always read folks only cycle when theyāve plateaued at baseline. From there cycle to gain some bulk and strength. If Iām trt I hear you can hang on to it.
Donāt take finedtrade. I hear topical is better. Mixed into a specific shampoo. There is a post on here that is in depth.
Hair loss is genetic. I have high DHT and thank god i donāt lose hair. I did notice that when I took dhea at high range I was itchy in the scalp. I wonder if DHT including dhea causes this jump.
Donāt ever try scrotum applied cream . Youāll definitely go bald
Hey some guys look good bald. Ever tried it!
