Blahahahha. Yea man I’ll find a way to treat you myself.
Hey brother, sorry to see you go.
My time posting here is coming to an end as well. I will still be around, lurking, maybe posting here and there.
Will still come here when I have issues arise in the future, and ill be in other boards too.
Did you ever fix your tennis/golfers elbow?

The golfers elbow is the same. Not worse. I decreased activity that hurts it. I put athletic tape on both arms , you know, below where it hurts, and still do pull ups and such.
I think I would have to stop for several weeks get better and Start up again will the counterforce brace to prevent reinjury. It sux. I really don’t want to stop.
The flexbar am using to try and build up the forearm and wrist muscles.
Thanks for asking man.
I mean I love helping guys in here but it takes to much time. Then on top of that you have to deal with assholes that think they know it all. Instead they should be describing their experiences which is what people want.
Peace dude! Tag me guys if you want me to respond as the forum will email me.
I wish I was friends with some of you in “real” life.

Hey brother, I know you are super slammed with tons of people on here.
Did you happen to see my post about the Carnitine? Super bummed I cant use it (or maybe I could, at a lower dose).
Anyway, ill catch you in the other boards.
@anon10035199 oh crap I did miss it. Are you positive it’s the Carn? It def improves liver function etc but to get a large decrease in e2 just from that seems odd. All other variables were in place?

I was taking 2 grams of L-Carnitine L Tartate. took it for 4 days before I started to get the Low e2 symptoms. Dry lips/skin, pissing every 30 mins, joints achey Ect… Basically I knew I was low. There is no questions anymore when I feel those symptoms.
I DID also drink warm lemon water for the day before and three days into the carnitine. I also considered maybe that was a factor. But it was so quick. Literally almost overnight I felt like it tanked.
I hate to take up your time, and I know there isn’t really much you can tell me. Just maybe thought id throw it at you in case you come across something similar with future patients.
I might attempt to take a smaller dose, maybe 500mg after working out. But the idea of lowering my e2 is too much of a pain in the ass. Its too detrimental to my workout routine.
takes a week or more to somewhat recover.

@physioLojik brother can you please tell me if having man boobs if a significant symptom of having high e2 .
This is super interesting. Yea def go with a lower dose and see how you feel. On a side note - since people here assume you need low e2 to feel good haha. My last labs for funsies
Total test 4,262
E2 72
HDL 142
LDL 64
Fish oil - loads.
Not bothering with ranges as you guys know this shit already. Making a point.
Erections - amazing and I fuck my wife x2 a day. Mood - amazing. Sleep amazing. Physique - check my log in pharmacy. Around 265 right now at around 10%.
Stop obsessing over numbers people and see how the hell you FEEL!

Your HDL is 142? How is this possible
LDL of 64, that is one of the best LDL readings I’ve ever seen
Yep. I take 16 grams of fish oil a day, eat virtually no excess omega 6, all grass finished beef and loads of chicken and lamb. @unreal24278. Cholesterol being wonky is almost always an imbalance between omega 3:6

Doc, you still taking Tamoxifen and getting those E2 numbers?
Have you looked into your iodized salt levels? Ask your Dr to check those levels first. If they are low please consume at least 2 lbs of iodized salt per day. Then check your temperature anally and orally with the same thermometer for 2 weeks, both AM and PM. Then report back those findings.
What cup size are you?

That’s awesome brother, im glad your cycle is going well! You’re a beast!
I will mess around with it at a later time and tag you, if your not already bombarded with questions. LOL.
Other than the low E2 issues, my TRT has been going great!

I felt terrible after taking Acetyl L-Carnitine and Propionyl L-Carnitine every day for a few days. Total fatigue, weak, irritable, nauseous. I assumed it was making me hypothyroid as I read it can prevent the uptake of T3 into the cells. So it reduces E2 as well?
I have found that any supplement that increases liver effectiveness has the potential to lower my e2 drastically.
Carnitine increases liver function.
That’s good to know though, what dose were you taking the carnitine at?
That’s interesting. Thinking more and more that my symptoms might be low E2 rather than under active thyroid. Waiting on some bloods to shed more light. I was on 1.5g of each.
If one is low E2 would Clomid help or make things worse? It’s pretty confusing
What other symptoms do you have. Fatigue is a big one when it gets really low.
I always notice dry lips/skin. Especially the skin on my knuckles.
Im just “off” . Im not in my good “alpha” mood. Hard to explain, just not myself.
Heart palpitations, itchy skin, dry thinning hair. Skin seems a little dry, not majorly though. Get a bit light headed sometimes. Main thing is the general weakness & fatigue
