KSman,
Thank you for your promptness in reply. Also, thank you for taking the time to review my thread and reply to it.
Please see my reply below, I italicized my replies, so you don’t get mixed up with prior post reply.
I have never heard of that. I would expect the acid could damage anastrozole. Can you dissolve 1mg/ml in vodka? Count drops per ml in with a dropper bottle and do the math or measure with a syringe to take 0.5mg anastrozole twice a week.
My intention was to avoid alcohol due to a religious restriction. Do you reckon after mixing with Vodka, I could dilute the 0.5 mg dosage in water to dispose of the taste and quality of alcohol?
Please inject T 52.5mg twice a week and take anastrozole at that time.
Will do
Mix hCG in 1.5 ml BA water, 0.5% benzyl alcohol. Inject 0.25 mg SC EOD
This is the bacteriostatic water that I purchased hospira bacteriostatic water. Will be following your suggestion.
You can inject hCG SC with #31 0.3-0.5ml [30-50iu] insulin syringes.
You can inject T with #29 1/2" 0.5ml insulin syringes. Try SC over quads, if you get lumps or swelling, try SC in belly fat.
Will do
You had low T and insulin resistance. Also know as syndrome-X or metabolic disorder. A1C=60 requires some changes. TRT does help with all of this.
I read more about it, I believe it’s genetics as I avoid sugars as much as I can.
You have vitamin B deficiency contributing to low HDL, find a high potency B-complex multi-vit that lists trace elements including iodine+selenium, 130-180mcg+150-200mcg. Also must not list iron!
I recently added iodine pills to my diet 250mcg, with 5,000 IU of vitamin D. Just purchased selenium and vitamin B complex and probiotics.
It must be something that I missed, why should it not list IRON?
Also, take fish oil or other EFAs, nuts, flax seed oil/meal
Will do
Blood donations: **
Ferritin should be 80 or better to support proper fT4–>fT3 conversion.
Do I need to increase my Feritin levels? The only reason I donated blood is to keep HEMATOCRIT within normal levels.
fT3 was well below target/optimal of mid-range. **
Eval overall thyroid function as per last paragraph in this post.
Low thyroid function, and low-T contribute to or cause insulin resistance.
I purchased a digital thermometer last night and took a reading this morning it was at 95.7 F. I shall take one every morning for the next 5 days.
Stop eating potatoes, white rice, sugars, white bread.
Started doing that today
Your CRP indicated generalize inflammation somewhere in your body.
Homocysteine is cardio specific suggesting inflammatory processes in your arteries - aka heart disease. Estrogen dominance can contribute to this. DHEA-S=297 was good -supportive. The lining of the arteries, the one cell thick endothelium is suffering.
My Homocsteine Level 5.62 (Normal 5-9 mmol) looks normal.
Worried about my CRP, how I can know where is the general inflammation is?
I was not able to understand your statement of “one cell thick endothelium is suffering”, could you please elaborate?
How is your BP and pulse?
Purchased a blood pressure monitor today, SYS 134 mmHg, DIA 77 mmHg, Pulse 67 BPM.
Anti-fungals can contribute to secondary hypogonadism as well as other medications, Rx or OTC.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.
