More classic severe B12 deficiency symptoms “bad oxygen feeling (shortness of breath)”
Like i said you mess up with B complex vitamins, on that diet. (and you keep doing it, because some of them go away if you fix it!). especially B12, and that put you in a condition of a possible nerve damage (maybe permanent).these vitamins are water-soluble and vary widely in tests. These types of extreme diets lead the body to a very stressful situation, which ends up consuming more than normal its reserves of vitamins and minerals, also increased like you said , not consuming meat, egg, milk .
Im my opinion, it looks like your body are screaming for nourishment. You should check a Doc specialized in nutrology to correct all your deficiencies, edit: (and lack of calories).
About your nerves, permanent or not, there are some supplements that can help:
alpha-lipoic acid
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Omega 3
D vitamin
B complex vit
I can feel a scratch like people mention, just no pleasure down there? It is very common in steroid abusers, propecia, accutane users as well. I dont believe its nerve damage. I contacted Dr . Chrisler (who past away recently)about the numbness and he told me to check DHT. I checked it and it was LOW. E2 is low as well. T is normal
cant get trt due to test being around 650.
b12 is in range on my blood test
neurosurgeon says he thinks its hormonal despite leg emg and minor herniation l1-l2
urologist gave me saw palmetto (anti androgen , which I did not take)
Hi charlie, so you have experienced the genital numbness as well? Just making sure Im not crazy because doctors treat me like I dont know what Im talking about? I am not on trt nor have I ever been, All was fine until a crash diet in the summer of 2016. I have not recovered ever since.
Ps. Sorry for being a pest, just trying to soak up as much info as possible!
Are you soaking it up though? Because every time you get an actionable suggestion you just carry on asking new people as if someone is going to come along with the magic pill.
You have hormone tests PROVING that you have LOW DHT
Low DHT is very commonly associated with ED and sexual dysfunction
You have suggestions that you can follow to try and INCREASE your DHT
Do this. Wait a month, or more, hormones work slowly. Take new blood tests. Assess.
Earlier on, I cant find the quote, you said something like ‘I drank soy milk for two days and felt no difference’. Wow. people on prescription TRT can take up to a year to ‘feel’ a difference sexually. Literally a year is how long they tell you to expect it to take for genuine full blown TRT to fix sexual dysfunction. Get out of the daily feedback feeling mindset or this will be impossible, because you will end up in so much stress that you will feel shit no matter what is or isnt working.
@enackers I believe something else is going on in the bigger picture causing all this. As you can see I have a whole bunch of other hormones/enzymes out of whack,so forgive me for posting them?
If I’ve learned anything in the last few months is that one imbalance can cause other imbalances.
If I was in your shoes I would leave this board immediately because I’m not hearing what I went to hear.
Why post labs. Don’t you already know your hormones are whacked out. From your post it’s obvious. Have you tried a suggestion and these labs show the results ?
Lastly, you are not getting advice from medical professionals who are experts in this. You are getting suggestions. If the issue is bigger then go find a doc tk work with. Most of these fellas are Here for TRT help
I went through this post and 10 times , even dr crissler are looking at DHT ad the culprit haha… your fucking DHT is low dude. What are you doing to yourself. Everyone is saying the same thing over and over again. You just posted blood values that paint the picture of low DHT.
@enackers my symptoms are not normal for a young male. Its a bunch of symptoms not only libido. I want to stay away from trt/hrt as I want to find what caused this
Well that’s some nonsense. You think your abnormal and shouldn’t have these problems! Tell that to the cancer patients and other issues young people have. It happened. You have the resources available in this modern world , but you are denying yourself any solutions. DHT is not TRT … go try it. Otherwise your going to turn 49 still complaining about how you were dealt a bad hand when you were young.
Then one day you’ll wake up and Realize you just wasted years of your life. Why? Because you were young and couldn’t get over the fact that your body went haywire after trying a stupid diet?
Do you see how stupid this sounds? How crazy this is?
If you don’t get it, then let’s just call it …Insanity.
I’m only saying this because it seems you are incapabale of accepting your current situation. Until it is accepted nothing can be fixed.
That’s all I can say. I wish you luck. Maybe one day you’ll post that you tried fixing your DHT levels and come back with the results. Maybe you’ll come back with a grin on your face and tell us how fabulous you feel. Until then good luck and adios amigo.
