thanks for replying guys. yeah i just need to accept the fact that i will be injecting frequently and if i have to to feel better i will do it for sure. its just that i feel so depresssed that i tend to overthink stuff too much @systemlord . i will be posting to you guys about my temperature and everything else in one post so you guys dont need to read several posts. thanks again for replying
@KSman @systemlord hello guys!
okey so i took my body temperature during the morning/afternoon/evening 2 days. heres my results: morning 95, next morning 96. afternoon: 96.2, next afternoon 96, evening: 96.3 next evening 96.4.
i read that body temperature is suppost to be 97.7 suggesting that i might have thyroid problem. my mother told me if i was crazy or sick when doing this because she thinks im extremely crazy because of all my hormone problems and me not finding a solution to it. im in a current state where i dont know exactly what to do. already went to the “best” endos around and not a single one checks estrogen or cares about shbg, imagen if i tell them the correlation between body temperature and thyroid. they will say “uh?”.
anyways, about my iodized salt intake history. i used to avoid that kind of salt when i was younger until i joined this forum and started reading about it. BUT i only added iodized salt to my food and did NOT bought any supplements like you recommend right? my salt intake is about 2500-3000 per day with a total of around 4000 sodium if im correct.
symptoms: I DO get cold easily, everytime i go out i get cold easily BUT people blame it on my weight. im skinny atm with not much fat and they just say “dude you just need fat”. last week i went to my job and was feeling cold, went to the hospital and was feeling cold BUT for some reason when i go to sleep during the night i wake up all sweetie and my bed is all sweet. picture of my eyebrown Imgur: The magic of the Internet. nails Imgur: The magic of the Internet Imgur: The magic of the Internet
it seems that my solution is indeed trt. i wanted to try clomid but my shbg is high and could increase adenoma. i haven’t tried hcg monotherapy tho. WHICH defy gave me the option to try it. BUT im extremely worried and confused about the protocol 350 iu everyday meaning 2450 a week for 8 weeks. i called to check this again and they said it was because of my low lh. now to my understanding lh does not matter because hcg will shut it down anyways? also after reading studies and reading on the web i dont get why ibutamoren was prescribed. yes i know this increases igf1 BUT it also have a chance to increase the tumor? i didnt know that before. i do not know if theres any other way to increase it if not this or do a test?
lastly, i do not know what else to do or where to go. i exhausted my resources on this. doctors are clueless in trt and thyroid? lol they said im fine considering my t4 and tsh. I have yet seen a doctor say anything about temperature. and their solution is prescribing me with trt once every 2 weeks. one said once a month lol.
I mean I DO NOT MIND DOING trt + hcg freezing my sperm. BUT i would like to know a real diagnose of my problems and exhaust everything before trt.
what do you recommend? the hcg mono seems strange
Being low testosterone affects blood circulation since it affects your cardiovascular system, my veins disappeared after my testosterone dropped below midranges. This weird protocol just may allow you to live a normal long life, who cares about weird, care about life.
If you talk to your doctors about your temperatures they may look at you a little funny. Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3 and antibodies, that maybe they will understand.
You have few options, only you can make this decision.
(1) HCG monotherapy
(2) TRT+HCG+FSH
(3) Remain as you are now
yeah im also having cardiovascular problems with low pulse of 38-42. went to a doctor for this and they found nothing wrong after doing mri of the heart and other exams.
its not that the protocol is weird, its that the dosage seems high for a hcg which i read commonly its around 1500 Weekly (heck sometimes i see 1k) BUT im not a doctor. im here just to ask from experienced guys like you and the others. i will for sure follow what they say.
(3) Remain as you are now
uhm, naaa ill pass
what about ibatumoren and chance of increasing the tumor size @systemlord
what about the ibatumoren i read about it online and a couple of studies. it does increase igf1 but it seems risky when having a tumor @systemlord
ok guys my only doubt is taking the mk 677 as a gh stim test? i keep reading about it and it just makes me more worried since theres a possibility that tumor might secrete igf1 im doing the hcg mono tho
@KSman any updates?
Peptides are proven safe, probably safer than anything else. We are talking about IGF-1 within normal ranges, hardly anything to worry about.
It’s the very high over the range IGF-1 than can cause health problems, notice I said can and not will.
