Many have tried TRT while having sub-low or normal T-levels with no or minor improvements. Mostly it was a try to combat the sexual sides.
But what about having PFS and getting older, like over 40 and T-levels getting lower, below 280 ng/dl ? Is it okay to get onTRT, not for battling sexual sides, but for overall health, bone-density, muscle wastage? And just go for 400’s-500’s levels?
I don’t know what to tell you I have 291 of T and high cortisol I have loss of muscle mass constant pain, extreme weakness rubbery skin, intolerance to exercise and only by lowering the T the pain goes down even if I obviously feel weaker and tired. I’m afraid I have Kennedy syndrome next month I’ll do some genetic tests to see if I have this genetic disease. It could also be a persistent damage to the receptors that essentially work with 291 as if it were 1500 and this creates toxicity even if I am inclined to believe that I have a genetic problem I have never had a very developed musculature and always very reduced gonads. In any case, in my opinion, raising testosterone does not help because finansreride has already overexpressed and increased the density of the receptors so they should be lowered even if there is no scientifically approved way. All the stories about autoimmunity, liver, thyroid, pancreas, intestine, are all nonsense the truth lies in the toxicity of hormones once they enter into relationship with A/R receptors this explains why people improve over time based on genetics. I think I have the Kennedy and that’s why I’ll take the test. I don’t recommend doing TRT. Regards
I am sorry to hear about the Kennedy syndrome. I hope you will figure out what is wrong and you can work forward to feel better.
I have to say having PFS and my T declining this doesn’t make me feel better. In comparison to 10 years ago (37 then) I am now less muscular and have more fat and belly. So I was wondering if I upbringing my levels to 400’s or 500’s I would feel better and more muscular and less fat
I don’t know how long you took finasteride or anti-DHT but they can’t cause changes in the perennial receptors nor suppress the production of T for life so if you have a low T it definitely depends on a form of hypogonadism that is due to your genetics at your age it’s not normal to have such a low T but you always have to check the reason for this situation I repeat it could be due to a hyper activation of the androgens and an excess of the density of the receptors that saturating quickly do not reach positive anabolic levels because they are too active for the little testosterone This leads to a belief that the hormone is sufficient but in reality the receptors produce toxic hormone as it is overexpressed and this leads to loss of muscle mass. Only with time will it be possible to rebalance the consumption by the receptors of available hormones. It’s like a car that has little gas if it accelerates fast it consumes it all but it overheats and gets damaged this happens to those who don’t have genetic diseases and that’s why next month I’ll do genetic tests for Kennedy. Putting more testosterone will feed an engine that consumes too much and risks suppressing your already low natural production the problem is regulating the engine so that it consumes the right amount. This is my thought
