Been here a while, but mostly keep to myself. Posting here as required in order to post on steroid underground threads.
Started TRT long ago after serious injuries followed by years of prescribed opioids trashing my endocrine system, which did not bounce back. Seriously thought I was going to die. Muscles were so weak and even walking was difficult, which was hard to deal with, especially coming from a guy who was strong, fit, and healthy his entire life. Doctors were puzzled and kept sending me to specialist after specialist with all kinds of tests only to be puzzled. I finally convinced a gastroenterologist to run a hormone panel on me after what I read and he agreed and that’s when I found that my T came back at 38ng/dl, and so the journey began.
Ran into lots of issues from different Endo’s, urologists, primary care, (years wasted because of them), and finally found a good A4M doc that led me straight, until he retired and then I was back in the jungle again with wildly different opinions and treatments from different doctors who did nothing but mess me up.
I got tired of all their misguided advice with all the other bureaucratic crap from them and insurance companies and decided to take this on myself, which led me to various underground strategies such as homebrewing, and various other PED’s.
Long story short, I’ve been managing myself (T & labs) for a very long time and I’m happy where I’ve been at for many years. Life has been good ever since and nobody would ever know just how debilitated I was from looking at me now that I’ve been back to being fit, strong and healthy for a very long time. Bring your own advocate and educating yourself accordingly has worked great for me.
T saved my life!
