KSman, have you read anything about Wilson’s T3 protocol? I ran it twice this year and found it to be very beneficial for my thyroid problems. Might be worth looking into if you’ve got some free time. http://www.wilsonssyndrome.com/restore/medical-treatment-of-wilsons-temperature-syndrome/

I know that protocol and have done it myself.
I was not responding to desiccated thyroid, could not get temperatures up. T3 [time release] did it. Still on it.
I wasn’t a great responder to desiccated thyroid either.
Did you have to do the protocol multiple times to get temps up?
I just finished up my second run and got temps up to about 98 during the day (with no T3 in my system). 97.2 upon waking. Still don’t feel “normal”, but feeling better each time I run it. I was below 97 before my first run for daytime temps
What’s your current T3 regimen look like? And what else are you doing for thyroid? Is yours under control now?

This needs to be in your own thread, not in this sticky.

@KSman can you please look at my thread ? I’ve posted two questions with an update on my situation, and I need some advice.
@ksman
age 39
height 6’2
36 waist pants size
Body hair has been light all my life. Back hair has increased in past 4 or so years. Facial hair will only grow to about an half an inch long and stop on the jaws, maybe a little longer in the goatee area. Top of head seems to have recently stopped growing hair or just really slow.
Store all my fat in the chest and gut area. Its been this way all my life. Trim everywhere else. Trim legs and arms. Noassatol.
When I was 18 yrs old I was diagnosed …

@KSman
I got the results of my MRI today. The Dr’s nurse called and said I have a 2mm Pituitary adenoma. They told me to start taking the caber and to come back to the Dr in September for another set of bloods (I guess to check prolactin).
With that being figured out what should I do in regards to test? My Dr didn’t seem to concerned about my test and seemed to think that fixing the prolactin will cause my test to raise back to normal on its own.
Should I wait to see with blood work in sept? …
@KSman
I received results for my second set of bloodwork at the 12 week mark and have a question about anastrozole dosing with the increase in Test Cyp. Thanks in advance KSman.
33, Low T, Trying to Find Cause and Best Treatment Option
Hey Ksman,
You’ve had bit of a break from here. So i thought i’d post here, i have posted my latest results in my thread, though my 6 week follow up is day after. I will post the 6 week blood work also later on.
6 weeks on and no improvements other than a couple of days of finding almost 80% of the women on the street hot which was a bit of a change to the normal instinct. Is it normal to take more time to respond to treatment?
Hi KSman,
I wrote a comprehensive first-timer post (full labs and oral temp included) and would appreciate your insight into my case:
Hi everyone,
Background
• Normal timely pubertal development in terms of physical features: normal height, normal voice depth, strong jawline, good athlete, lean/muscular, normal development of testicles and pubic hair
• Could not ejaculate until age 20, which is WAY past normal range for males
• Was not interested in sex in high school and college; turned it down many times and did not have a good reason why other than lack of interest
• I’ve always been fairly low self-confidence, low ene…
Bumping for @KSman again! Please review my thread I’ve been trying to get a response from you for a long time. Hope you have some insight!

@ equal0212 Please link me there. You are active in many threads and its hard to find you.
Had a couple of bad days, probably due to the stress of TRT not showing decent effects. I’ve been having regrets about the potential that I did not need TRT despite all my symptoms and blood work pointing towards low T. I just do not understand why I’m not feeling any change. I seem to be healthy other wise. I will get off and do an HPTA restart after revaluation in a month. If no change in symptoms, I’d prefer to live a low quality of life without simultaneously injecting myself 5 times a week. …
Here you go!
EDIT: Waiting to hear from you.
Please check my update when you get a chance Ksman. Thanks for your feedback bud.
