Some feeling a little better on creatine and some getting worse on creatine further illustrates this point. Different cases. Like how optimally vitamin D levels make some people worse and some people better. Both examples are increasing our hormones. So it makes sense that if you had overly sensitive up regulated androgen receptors that increasing your T and DHT would make you feel worse. And the other way around if the androgen receptors are down regulated.
Receptor imbalance is the best way to put this theory.
All the symptoms you describe are the typical androgen deficiency symptoms despite either not being androgen deficient or correcting your androgen deficiency and getting worse or not getting better
It all seems like receptor imbalance that probable has vast complicated implications on other receptors that either down regulate or up regulate trying to correct the problem. All this is just theory obviously.
If I’m right finding a solution will first probable require us to find the common factor among us that results in our receptors becoming imbalanced in response to temporary inhibiting DHT
In my opinion I don’t see that happening from studies. It’s going to take a ton of us to do our own experiments and getting our own labs done to try to find what many have not been able to find yet for a long time
For example, I get better or at least do not get worse every time I block my prog, cortisol and androgen receptors with Mifepristone. I get worse every time my cortisol goes up.
How do I know this? From taking risks and spending tons of my own money doing my own experiments. What I have learned about my own condition is light years ahead of the studies
