Actually, my dad has just joined this club too. He recently had a tumour removed from his pituitary gland at the front of his brain. Unfortunately, by the time they'd taken out the tumour, there wasn't much pituitary left - not enough to control the production of various useful hormones, like cortisol, thyroid, and testosterone.

So last week the endocrinologist gave him a shot of Sustanon (don't know the dose), which apparently he'll get every 3 months. That seems like a long time between shots to me. And it means Dad has to endure months of virtually no test while the Sustanon builds up. If I were the doc, I'd have got Dad front-loading with a shorter ester first.

maybe find another doc for him and get a second opinion? 

 

I made a mistake and left the doc that had been prescribing me test and went back to my old doctor because he lives much closer.. My old doc is 5 min away, the new knowledgable doc that put me on test in the first place is an hour round trip to go to see.

 Any way, my old doc who admits he knows nothing about TRT in his infinite wisdom dropped me down  to 2x40mg caps of test per week..

When I told him that wasnt going to happen he said if I wanted to have anything more I would need to go see an endo.. That wasnt going to work for me as I think there are plenty of endo's that have limited knowledge in this area. So I went back to the new doc who had prescribed trt fo me in the first place and he let me set my own dose which was great. :-)

  Im going to start posting a lot of stuff as I want your guys help to get something together to help educate my "old" doctor on this topic.  Im probably going to move on to the new doc but it would be handy to know my old doctor was up to school on this stuff if I ever had to go back to him for some reason.  Also I know my old doctor is treating some other poor guy by having him on 2x40mg caps per day.. The poor bugger must be feeling like shit..  I tried lowering my dose to 3 x 40mg spread out over the day and i started to get the old feelings of lethargy come back..  Im now back up to 5 caps per day and feel ok on that.. Although I felt better when I was on 7 caps per day...  My last Oestradiol test came back at 50 pmol/L which makes me think I need to start taking AI and am putting that to my new doc.. Anyway, I intend on posting quite a bit in here now so hopefully you guys can help me fill in the gaps to get some info to my doc..

Im quite lucky in that my new doc will let me take what ever dose I want as long as it doesnt mess up my hemoglobin - blood count... :-) Hope I got that terminology right. 

Hey guys, is there an option in here some where to get emails anytime some one posts in this thread?  I cant seem to find that option in the forum anywhere..

On another note, most of you will know about my torn rotator cuff tendon only holding on by aprox 10%..  Well Im still training and weights slowly creeping up..  Funny thing is the torn rotator cuff shoulder feels like a million dollars..  Its the other shoulder thats giving me a bit of shit now..

Im damn glad I didnt let the surgeon operate now or I would be laying on the couch now probably lol The old surgeons are pretty quick to cut people open these days.. A bit too quick IMHO.

mrgeeky how are you getting on with TRT, did you end up doing a low dose? Have you had any problems and how do you feel. I.ve just come off 300mg test pw, went off early at 8 weeks. Had some problems tho, first I got the flu wk 1-3 then stuffed my bicep wk 4, took time off till week 7 then got gyno. Letro and nolva..into week 3 from the last dose.

Wondering how a small dose will affect gyno, as many people say it wn.t. Thats no help if you actually get it. Also do you get as much bloat on a small dose, or is it a given to get bloated?

On the  3 x 40mg caps per day I started to get feelings of lethargy.. I must trial it again to make sure it wasnt just in my head.. But I stayed on this level for over a week and it wasnt until about the 3rd day I noticed I was starting to loose enthusiasim to do anything.. This appaeared to get worse as the week went on..  

Im allowed to stay on 7 x 40mg per day that i was originally on but  Im a little worried Im ingesting too much and cant find any info about the long term effects. Although I have found a few posts that say long term useage of Andriol is fine. No clinical evidence though. Some thing i need to do more research on..

 

As for feeling bloated, Im not sure what you mean.. The only time I have felt bloated while on test is when I eat too much lol 

Re gyno - sorry mate, cant help you there.. There are many more informed than I on that topic..  maybe start a thread on it under roids section?

Dang, wont let me paste anything in here... Anyone else experienced this?

At the bottom of the page you should see Bookmark and Subscribe buttons. Bookmark lets you get to a topic easily (it shows in the My Shortcuts box at the top of the front page). Subscribe will also send you an email when people post (and I think you can set the frequency of emails under My Account)

Not sure why you can't paste anything in. What browser are you using? Have you tried using the paste icon in the message editor's toolbar?

Cheers Pseudonym, that feed icon on it had me a little baffled.. Thought it was going to subscribe me something different for some reason.. All sorted now anyway.. .. I'll just go and set email frequency now. 

Cut and paste wont work whether I use my mouse or keybaord shortcuts.. I'm using I.E.11. It's the developers version so maybe there is a hiccup with it.. I'll try another browser to see what happens, if so I may have to roll back to ie;10.  And no, the paste icon wont work for me either..  cheers for the help mate.
