There are 3 Myths with Regard to TRT

That study is required as these e2 debates pop up every other month and nobody really knows.

The most common high e2 symptoms seem to be hypertension, ED and moodiness. Low e2 symptoms seem to be libido loss, severe ED/numb dick and osteoporosis. The links to BPH are a worry when it comes to high e2.

As previous said in other threads low e2 seems to have more obvious and intolerable symptoms that hopefully one would be spotted and rectified before osteoporosis ever set in. With high e2 though, guys struggle through life with full or partial ED and potentially unwanted prostate activity. The side effects are tolerable but could be harmful over time.

I searched for him on You Tube. As a TRT patient of 20 years, I cannot fathom there is that much to talk about TRT. I spend less than five minutes taking half a cc every Sunday and don’t think about it otherwise. My appointments with my doctor take less than ten minutes.

Give it 24hrs mate. Im sure you’ll be waltzing back in, kicking down doors, cursing up a storm, with steam coming out of your ears. Am I right?

ā€œ A fifth myth is that a man can actually feel fluctuating levels within the normal range, or that this will somehow affect health. For example. Going from 800 to 1000 on Sunday to 400 to 500 by Saturday.ā€

A tenth myth: you know what other men feel.

Can you tell me what you or another man feels from such fluctuations in the normal range?

The normal range is subjective. You and I both know this

With various reference ranges now dictating 150ng/dl or lower to be normal, there is going to be a fluctuation re how one feels throughout that range.

If we refer to say ā€œ400-1000ā€ as ā€œnormalā€, I’d argue there is going to be very little difference FOR MOST. Though personally I find things start to dip at around the low/mid 400s.

I say for most as FT matters quite a bit. If you’ve got a TT of 500ng/dl and abysmally low FT, you’ll be symptomatic; it’s not only about total testosterone. There is a diverse body of literature backing this

You could also have a TT of 400ng/dl, mid range FT and you’d feel fine.

However the effect TT (and associated FT concentrations) has on fat distribution between 400-1000ng/dl will be fairly pronounced provided one is maintained at either end of the spectrum on average for a prolonged period of time.

I feel no difference re hormonal fluctuation from 100mg/wk. Peaking at say 850 and nadir at 450 or so

I hear trenbolone replacement therapy is great. You can look like Zac Efron from baywatch year round on TRT! HDL of 10mg/dl? That’s trt for you

What about SRT? Stanozolol replacement therapy! Oxandrolone replacement therapy is probably the bees knees! How about nandrolone replacement therapy?

Halotestin is actually fda approved to treat hypogonadism. If someone from the US told me ā€œI take 10mg halotestin/day and that’s it, I’m on hormone replacementā€ I’d believe them. Fluoxymesterone is outdated, but is very occasionally still going to be prescribed for TRT.

Speaking of which… who wants to prescribe me some (joking)? I’ve heard it makes people very strong… and irritable.

Thinking back on the good ol’ days when u had the energy, old man?

:sunglasses:

Old man strength and TRT are a powerful combo. I have more energy now than in my 20s, and 30s. So no, and Im getting laid more than ever too. Being in my 40s Im seasoned and in better shape, thanks to proper T levels. Respect your elders boy! Or get that ass whooped! Randy Savage style! Oooooh yeah.

For me it’s all mental, usually. Low e2 and I just get depressed and don’t care about anything, no energy, hard to get motivated. High e2 and I’ve got anxiety and a hard time falling or staying asleep.

Lmfao yes im just joking around, 40s probably good
