TRT trying to find an answer in a complicated case

[chris_az]

HeadDoc,

I do show a lot of frustration at times it depends upon how I am dealing with my issues/how well I am. I am as capable as being as big an ass as the next guy I can assure you.

I sound like War and Peace, reading what I have to say is sometimes like looking at a Tolstoy novel, you know it might be intelligent, but its convoluted and difficult to deal with and sometimes you just can't be arsed

I was asked by a nurse recently if I was a bit obsessive when it came to this issue.

I said it depends what you mean by obsessive as your question is loaded.

If you mean am I obsessive in that I have cuttings on my wall and I chat to myself about it then the answer is no. If you mean am I obsessed by the idea of not living a miserable life and trying to find the answer to my problems that plague me and leave me with a very poor quality of life, then the answer is yes.

To accept that life is going to be miserable because of poor health that might be rectified if only the right treatment can be found, as others before me have found;

Well I think then I would be of questionable mind, I don't think it can be obsessive to want your life to be ok, (no searing back pain would be a start) and without your health you have nothing.

I wonder if you put a man in prison for a twenty year stretch and told him that he could walk free if he could finish a thousand cryptic crosswords, well I wonder if he would become obsessive about crosswords?

I think I know the answer.

I wonder why someone who has gone and come through cancer twice without any psychological problems, someone who didn't want to know anything about the cancer treatment (because it worked) would develop psychological problems as has been insinuated?

Of course I am judging myself here, but it would seem unlikely would it not?

I mean I would have thought that if I was the ideal candidate to fit there bill for anxiety or hypochondria, well I should have been in my element with cancer as opposed to putting my head down and just getting through it- wouldn't I?

Again I wonder how I have managed to develop significant gynecomastia, female pattern weight distribution and prevent my erections from occurring before I am even wake- via psychology as opposed to physiology.

I must be VERY talented, maybe I can levitate if I put my mind to it too

Or maybe the insinuations are full of shit and without any merit whatsoever and made because they don't have the answers and this is just irony

Chris given your bent for research, start looking into SARM's. If, of course, you are not there already.

SARMs,

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators.

I have not looked into there potential.

What have you found/are you aware of when it comes to this class of medicines?

I understand that they can increase or decresase the sensitivity of the receptor to testosterone and DHT, or lower it if you were talking about finasteride....I think that is a SARM is it not?

In relation to ones that increase androgen receptor sensitivity, do you know what there current uses are?

Are any of them used for the treatment of osteopenia or hypogonadism, if so what are these specific meds called and who are the pharmaceutical manufacturers?

Also, is there a reason that makes you think they would work specifically for me because of something I have detailed or is it more of a possibility that may work generally for someone who has struggled with differing forms of TRT?


P.S

I do look into such things in as much detail as I can, but I do not like to try and reinvent the wheel if possible.

Any information, article or sources that you currently have would be appreciated.

this is all we've got so far.

Very, Very interesting!

I did a quick and very basic search and saw that the US military had invested in reseach into SARMs so as to prevent bone fractures.

It sounds as though they could be the future of TRT, certainly if individual properties of androgenic action can be molecularly isolated and reproduced with other less desirable effects removed.

Perhaps a pipe dream for now, but thanks for bringing this to my attention, i'll certainly be looking for articles on this subject and I have already brought this to the attention to another forum.
