Correct.

How quickly can thyroid hormones change? In a matter of hours, days, weeks?
Example: If a person got stung by a bunch of fire ants last night, could it effect thyroid hormones by morning?
Asking for a friendšŸ¤£

Are you ok?

I am not on cycle never have been but, have seen it mentioned in the past in this forum. Is there anything that can be taken to help with low RBC and WBC?

Yeah, it will pass. Thanks!
Just couldnā€™t squat this morning because my heart was trying to break my rib cage.

Absolutely. Hormones can change immediately based on neural feedback.

Ms ms are you seeking treatment for Graveā€™s? Constant tachycardia due to elevated thyroid hormone over a long period of time can lead to the development of cardiomyopathy. Beta-blockers can help for the fast heart rate and tremors associated with graves and taking care of these symptoms can thus alleviate many of the mental sides associated with anxiety (as itā€™s a vicious cycle between physiological and mental with regard to anxiety). Iā€™ve noticed Iā€™m never really anxious anymore, I can thank beta blockers for that.

Only time I get anxious now is prior to large social gatherings full of people whom I donā€™t know (I tend to go to these events/parties or whatever hosted by other kids/young adults in attempts to meet new people and/or potentially meet a girl, however itā€™s nerve wracking when you know no one). Always gets better when the socialising begins though.

Anyhow, why donā€™t you seek treatment? Whatā€™s youā€™re resting HR? Do you live with constant tachycardia?

Thank you. I just havenā€™t been able to find the answer.

What like tronopin? What a load of crap (not on youā€™re part), to find out if thereā€™s an issue with youā€™re heart, an echocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound or MRI is needed, even an EKG would be good, esp if you always have tachycardia.

By stumbling are you talking about premature ventricular contractions? I get one every couple days, sometimes they happen more often but are otherwise very rare (although alcohol brings it on for me the day after likely due to electrolyte depletion and induced endothelial dysfunctionā€¦ alcohol is quite proarrythmiacā€¦ and super toxicā€¦ why is it legal again?).

I canā€™t imagine how anxious Iā€™d be with a RHR over 100, mineā€™s like 56BPM (though shoots up when I stand up by a ton #autonomicdysfunction), beta blockers simply largely amoreliate this issue

You should seek treatment again, donā€™t stop trying until you receive adequate treatment, this is youā€™re longevity youā€™re dealing with. Ask Mr Dr Mr Dr Sir Sirrington how heā€™d treat you (through email), Iā€™m sure he would act differently compared to the docs youā€™ve currently seen. Can you afford to go private? (private healthcare), the doctors who work in private practice tend to be more knowledgable.

Please, donā€™t give up, if youā€™re having frequent arrhythmias, have a RHR over 100 and have GRAVEā€™S DISEASE seek out help. (actually any of those three variables by themselves one should seek treatment for). Even if it was simple IST, a beta blocker would help (however the fast HR for you is almost certainly thyroid related, not IST)

Good sir, after a few years of research and hard training and dieting getting back into shape after a depressive rut Iā€™ve prepared to do a cycle. Iā€™m doing test e only at 250mg x2 a week and I believe Iā€™ve done enough thought to find it necessary to keep my youthful nuts sizable and take hcg 250iu x2 a week during cycle. Though from what I have been reading from you, you think an AI is unnecessary most times. I have read a lot of your posts and was wondering if I should just run a lower dose of nolva 10-20mg ED or EOD on cycle to combat any sides? Iā€™ve also read this could defeat the purpose of the cycle (IGF1 decrease). I feel like Iā€™ve hit a roadblock in planning this cycle because most people seem to favor an AI(donā€™t want to crash my E2 and get down in the dirt) but I also donā€™t want to waste time pinning Pharma test to limit myself with nolva. Is this an exaggeration? Should i be fine with this cycle gain wise and side wise? Should I leave nolva use while on more spaced out? I plan on following the general PCT protocol of 40/40/20/20 and if Iā€™m running hcg during cycle how should I think about my use of hcg in pct if at all? I know hcg will help prevent or reduce atrophy of the nuts on cycle and as a result my endogenous test would still run further bumping up my test. Am I going to run into more aromatase issues running hcg on cycle? Iā€™m being bombarded saying to take 12.5mg aromasin or .25-.5 adex EOD.
Iā€™m around 10% bodyfat currently at 5 ft 9 like 152 pounds give or take a few for water weight fluctuation. I just want to have a smooth cycle because I need to be 2 weeks into my pct before I fly back to uni since I go across the country for college. I have every date planned out and will get bloods pre cycle and at week 6. Previous bloods have my natural test at 623 ng/dL.
Starting mid or late May ending early to mid August, just want to clarify SERM vs AI during cycle and when to use if my current plan is too much or too little be it dose or frequency

Hey man :slight_smile: how old are you? Whatā€™s your training history? Your weight is really light - Iā€™m not sure a cycle makes sense at this point and perhaps hitting the weights and the food is a better fit. Tell us more about you.

sorry to hear about your depressive issues. That sucks but youā€™re on the right track. The IGF decrease from tamoxifen is so low compared to the increase from test - not to mention that igf is just one of the many things anabolics do to increase growth on cycle :slight_smile:

Do NOT run HCG on cycle and donā€™t touch aromasin or adex.

@ChickenLittle did you actually get the graves diagnosis we discussed previously? Remind me please. A RH over 100 concerns me. And no - fire ants arenā€™t good for anyone :slight_smile:

He said it looked like mild graves because my TSH was .23 and the Trab was slightly out of range. He did not feel that any more testing or treatment was necessary.
The HR issue is nothing new. Many years ago the cardiologist said it was just a neurocardiogentic syncope. He prescribed some beta blockers but, honestly they just seemed to exacerbate the problem. So, that didnā€™t last long.

I know ā€œLittleā€ Dr Sir means well, but doctor shopping it quite expensive if you donā€™t have insurance. I have neither the time, money, or mental capacity to do it.

Have you ever passed out? Like ā€¦ Randomly in reaction to stress. If youā€™re HR if always 100+ itā€™s not neurocardiogenic syncope. Neurocardiogenic syncope is sudden fainting at random, usually triggered by a stressful event or something, people with autonomic dysfunction such as myself can experience something similar (not syncope, but a rapid rise in HR upon standing, pots, orthostatic hypotension and whatnot) sometime syncope but Iā€™ve never fainted.)

However neurocardiogenic syncope can be caused by like ā€¦ Some people hate blood, so that could cause it. Spiders???

No. I have come close but never actually lost consciousness.

Sorry to hear you have to deal with this. I send my sympathies and this gif of an octopus waving hello

So adorable, it thinks it has little hands.

Do they not have healthcare in the US? Here we have Medicare which gives significant rebates from appointments/ medical consultations. Most Aussie residents have access to Medicare at little to no cost.

Private healthcare is a different story, expensive. Most guys here who want HRT/TRT/PEDā€™s prescribed without valid reasons tend to pay completely out of pocket, costs an arm and a leg (note thatā€™s not how I get my TRT, I have my TRT prescribed via a legitimate andrologist (not dr zentzner either), heā€™s quite popular among guys seeking TRT here.

Aweā€¦ itā€™s so cute! They are very intelligent creatures.

We do have Medicare when you reach a certain age and we also have Medicaid which you have to ā€œqualifyā€ for. I donā€™t qualify for either one.

Iā€™m really not worried about it. It will be fine.

Huh, in Aus Medicare in universal, just about everyone has access to it. Otherwise a simple 15 min visit to the gp would cost like 70$

Youā€™re older than me and thus likely a shit ton more responsible than I am thus with my flawed teenager logic my conclusion is if you say itā€™s fine Iā€™m inclined to believe you as you have more experience with this stuff than I do as itā€™s youā€™re body and only you can really know whether youā€™re fine or not.

Doc and members.

I have a couple questions in regards to trt and erecting strength.

  1. Does trt make erections stronger over time? Iā€™m 3-4 months in and have noticed better labido but erections are still 80% as they have been since my early 30s. Girth is better and thatā€™s a plus.

  2. What do you recommend to increase the strength.

I know Cialis and Viagra will probably do the trick, but why did this happen in the first place. Itā€™s been a decade since I have had a rock hard erection. Surely there must be a way to fix or improve without taking a magic pill every time.

Have you tried any kind of nitric oxide stack?
