Hey guys,
I went to the doctors lastnight because iāve been quiet pale and discolouration in the whites of my eyes.
The doctor said iām slightly Jaundice. Though I was tested for hepatitis about 3 weeks ago and it was negative. Iāve seen my ALT improve since stopping finasteride and the only other suggestion is I have good blood iron but low Ferratin.
Was
ALT 48 H (5-40) U/L now 26 (5-40)
S AST 30 to 32 (10-40) U/L
Ferratin 97 ng/ML (30-500)
Iron 21 umol/l (5-30)
Negative Hepatitis (3 weeks ago)
eGFR <90 (90ml/min/1.73m2)mmol. No sign of liver disease.
S TRF 2.3 G/L (2.0 - 3.2)
S TRF SAT 37% (10-45)
T-BILI 24 H to 19 (4-20) UMOL/L
Getting these re-done.
Anyone help?
No one?
Anyway after stopping sodium bicarbonate - my muscle twitches have returned and digestion is shit. Any explaination possible coritsol imbalance? i have no idea. But iām going to start using it again as my sexual functions return on it.
One thing iāve noticed is my gums are not bleeding anymore which brings me back to the bodys ph state. if we are in an acidic state our body is going to steal nutrients from other areaās of the body such as calcium from our teeth etc etc etc etc.
Oh and vommit and nausea when ever I have caffeine
Waking up completely saturated from the torso up. I thought I wet the bed at first.
Where to now? I was diagnosed with hypogonadism now my thyroid is spiraling upwards, my back is fucked, i look like a cancer patient. Psychologists cant even help the way I feel. What am I left with, there is no hope in this shit.
What prescriptions, supplements, vitamins, etc are you on? ā¦and I guess this is the diagnosis you got from the 7 Endos?
Nothing just various vitamins and healthy diet. Nope I was told my pituitary wasnāt responding to low testosterone
Enough, we donāt know that yet.
My entire package feels dead almost everyday, my fertility is fucked up, I feel like shit, have no motivation, feel passive, no sense of humor anymore, you know the storyā¦ lost career, lost GF it FUCKING SUCKS!
But hope maybe in our future stillā¦
My girlfriend is amazing, but I donāt want her to stay in my miserable existence. I dont see how i can live a normal life now, not being able to have kids or even feel human.
You annouce youāve organized a PFS research program then a day after you were supposed to meet with them you say youāve lost all hope? If they have any interest try to get them in contact with our patient organization which should be put together in a few weeks. They will be taking the lead for organizing research and undoubtedly will be happy to speak with them. Really the only thing we can do now is further media awareness and push for research where we can. I agree our situation sucks but those are really the only things we can do now. Try to focus your frustration on those things, maybe it will be helpful.
Yeah I suppose Iām just Fustrated that I got screwed by the system. Of course Iām happy that I have people backing research.
You canāt reverse a faulty pituitary.
Yeah we all got screwed by this system. thatās why Iām working on screwing the system.
has anyone just randomly recovered from hypogonadal testosterone?
Hypogonadism is treatable.
PFS isnāt. Not with much success anyhow.
What are your T levels?
really lowā¦ approx 210 (260 - 780) also my LH is 3.8 and FSH 1.9. TSH is 4.0 (approx 1.0 -5.03) i dont get it HPTA shutdown? my cortisol seems fine.
There are plenty of ways to boost your T levels. The problem is, when most PFSers bring their T levels up they feel little if any difference. One guy had 4000 ng/dL and he felt no difference.
like can you ever get your levels back to normal like increased LH and FSH response to low testosterone? really dont want to go on HCG or Chemicals forever.
Yes you can, but thatās likely not the issue.
Receptors are āmessage receiversā located throughout our bodies. They are typically transmembrane proteins located on the surfaces of cells, and they bind with hormones and neurotransmitters to āreceiveā the signal and initiate a sequence of changes in our bodies ā often profound system-wide changes in energy utilization, tissue growth, or the perception of pleasure and pain. For some reason, receptors donāt get the public attention that gets showered on the communication chemicals ā the hormones and neurotransmitters. And yet, as I shall argue, the receptors may be far more important than the signaling compounds that they interact with, because they do not change by the minute or hour, but are long-lasting parts of the control systems of our bodies. If hormones and neurotransmitters are the āsoftwareā, receptors are the āhardwareā.
