Did your doctor prescribe those BP meds or did you find through research?

My Dr knows I take them but did not prescribe. I did not want bp, diabetes meds to show up on any kind of MIB report, so I sourced myself. I have a pretty progressive Dr who runs an anti-aging clinic.

Thats what my kidney dr said. He did a biopsy to find the cause of it and apparently steroid use causes a specific type of scarring. He didnt put me on any type of diet restriction. Well he did restrict my water intake to two liters a day. I lowered my protein intake down to 150 gms a day. Without test, i figured my body wont use it anyway. Some thing that i find odd, is that i simply cant drink any kind of whey protein shakes (iso, any kind) it makes my kidneys hurt. But a meal replacement shake made from whole food I can drink. Ive increased my hgh to 10iu a day (5 morning, 5 at night) and i look like im on cycle. Or at least the biggest guy at planet fitness lol. Jokes aside. Im just grateful i can still hit the gym, i would lose my fucking mind if couldnt.

Something that just occurred to me, the why of it. My limited understanding is that test is test. Why would test scar kidneys? Maybe the increase of blood pressure from test over the years causes scarring? Im going to ask him next appointment. oh and yeah, i dont take any kind of supplement with creatine either.

I have similar issue with with whey proteins. Manifested more in bladder pain than kidney through. Was fine with plant based protein powders for years then that became bladder problem also. I seem to be fine with 150 grams plus of solid food proteins
