Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi SteveJ1996 and Welcome. Most of us have been down this road thinking we are suffering from depression and put on them dam meds. For the first 5 yrs that I got sick they did every kind of test on me but low T. After not finding anything wrong they told me I am suffering from Major Depression. I had to go along with this because I was so sick I could not work and was on sick leave. So to keep my job and keep getting my sick pay I had to pur up with this. To make a long story short after 5 yrs. I got a bad bladder infection and had to see a Uro he found me to have low T. I was on so many AD med's I had to go into a Re-Hab unit for 30 to get off all the dam AD meds. When I started on TRT all my feeling of fatigue were gone and I was back to work. I was never Depressed but it was the Low T. After 22 yrs. on TRT and not feeling 100% I live in the U.S. and have been a member here and on other groups for the last 5 yrs. I was on Androgel from the time it came out to last yr. The longer I was on it the more my joints and muscles hurt it got so bad in my back, legs and arms that I could hardy walk. I am 62 and my Dr. felt it was my age and that I have Arthritis I was put on many meds for this last one was Celebrex nothing worked. Last yr. I found a site www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and the HCG Update. I printed this and gave it to my Dr. and told him I need to try this he said ok and this is where I am today. I have no more pain and walk 1 hr. on the days I am not at the gym exercising on 16 work out machines. I got to the gym 3 days a week. Last yr. I lost over 65 lbs and got much stronger doing things around the house are nothing today. I started on this 14 months ago doing 150 mgs. of Depo T shots every week and HCG 250 IU's on the 5th and 6th days after the T shots. Doing this my total T went up from 600 to 1087 and I started to feel the best I ever felt in the 22 yrs. I have been TRT. My libido is though the roof and my sex life is like I was 20 again. Only problem was on this my Estradiol went way up and at the time I was using Indolplex/DIM to keep my Estradiol down and it was not doing the job anymore so my Dr. added Arimidex. Problem is when my Estardiol goes up I break out in a bad rash on the back of my califs that I don't dare scratch, it will burn if I scratch it. I also broke out between my toes bad and no med worked. After a time I figured this out it was the Indolplex/DIM I took it a at dinner time and by 8pm that nigh I had this rash problem. I stopped the DIM and felt much better but still Estradiol was a problem I was up and down like on a roller coaster ride. I was taking one mg. a day to keep my Estradiol down and still this was not enough. I read a post by a guy that sees Dr. Shippen the author of " The Testosterone Syndrome " in his book he was down on shots. Yet this guy told me that now Dr. Shippen does shots but in his belly every 3 days. He said that doing this kept his Estradiol in check. So I told my Dr. and he said ok if I don't mind doing shots that much a week. I talked to this guy again and he told me Dr. Shippen has him doing his shots with a 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg. needle in his belly. So I started doing my T shot every 3 days 52mgs and my HCG 100 IU's everyday. But my Dr. would not let me do them in the belly. Wow this is the best I ever felt Estradiol is not a big problem I now take a ..5 Arimidex on the day of the T shot. My testis were real small from being on TRT and now using the HCG they are beck to there normal size and when I do the shot of HCG I get a feeling of well being not a high but a feeling like a ton of weight was lifted off my shoulders. So after all these yrs. I now have my sex life back my poor wife can't keep up with me. All you need to do is keep your Total and Free T up in the upper 1/3 of your labs range for a young man and keep your Estradiol down between 10 to 30 best at 20. I have my morning wood back after over 35 yrs not having them. Read this link it is the first one I read when I joined here. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcls-txt/t-prtcl-130.html Phil stevej1996 <stevej1996@...> wrote: So I'm 27 years old and have been diagnosed with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (HH) since my sophomore year at college (6 years ago).

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hello steve and welcome. For me atleast being this is the first Im seeing your words. I'm 28 and a half and have never been with a female thus, a virgin as well. The outsiders don't know what that does in full. I was born with primary hypogonadism but due to malpractice from doctors I had to suffer thru horrible side effects and sub-side effects from not being on a TRT, etc. I have no idea how to act around females. For example, this beautiful doctor at the derm. clinic today was my resident. She was around my age; didn't look like a model but someone if I was cool and hung would comfront. I felt very uncomfortable and told her. Even if she was a doctor all the trepidation I have toward females including the hate for them not giving me a chance, tends to come forth in situations like that. Im proud of you for even working. I cant yet nor would I enter cooperate America when I do. I dont have the education nor skills yet.... Yet another reminder of how withdrawn and depressed I was growing up, on top of having abnormal gentialia and learning disabilities. Celexa is good. I used to take that emount even 60mg at one point. Thats when doctors didnt know I had primary hypogonadism just horrible depression. I stopped taking celexa because I think it messes with my T shots thus, making me very weak. Besides, now Im taking T shots I dont feel so depressed. But its the same crap, you have lived a certain way its hard to try and change. Dude, Im a pretty approachable guy to talk towards anytime you want Im available. Good luck and continue to fight. stevej1996 <stevej1996@...> wrote: So I'm 27 years old and have been diagnosed with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (HH) since my sophomore year at college (6 years ago).

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi , Thanks for the advice, it's nice to hear a success story from someone who was going through the same thing as me. I just wanted to clarify a few things. I was told that the androgel or shots do not effect the size of testis, that there is no way through treatment to increase the size. It seems like that is not true according to your experience. Should I bring that point up to my doctor? Also, how did the androgel affect your joints and muscles, does it effect people differently? I look forward to hearing from you and once again thanks for the input. Take care. philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote: Hi SteveJ1996 and Welcome.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hi Elliot, Thanks bro, I can't believe i found someone around my age with the exact same problems as me. You are absolutely right with everything, expecially the fear of intimicay with females. It is very hard to change when you've lived a certain way your whole life. It is one of the hardest things to do, how is treatment working for you now? I've masked my insecurities with Anti-depressants and Androgel to survive at work, it is hard but something i'm continiously working on. Life is not easy, but it's worth fighting for. For example, there are plenty of chicks at work that I want to be with, some I'm real cool with, but I know it will not get on that level that i want due to problems stemming from Hypo, and that is depressing. It does seem like there is hope out there though, as i've been reading other posts. Keep your head up bro, it could only get better. I look forward to hearing from you, good luck, too.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks for getting back jeffrey. Let me know if you want to be called by something else like a nick name or whatever.... It's been and still is a struggle to find folks that can understand my situation. I'm glad I found one in you but not glad you are going thru some heavy stuff the same as me. Life is worth fighting for even for me when I feel it's not or what's the point.... I know all too well about having feelings for a female and knowing she won't feel them back and or not having the " confidence " to comfront her. Happened badly on my last job. I realized I had a serious problem that was going to stick with me until I seeked help. That help was for depression and then as I brought my male breast into the surface more attention started coming toward a hormonal disorder...I never knew I was primary but given I was so depressed and withdrawn growing up, I shouldn't have. But I blame those doctors at birth for failing to notice a cute baby with an undescended testicle. Hey bro, Im here once again if you never need to talk. I would like to better understand you and how you got this far and have become successful. Given if you were born with primary hypogonadism and it didnt appear later in life Im ponderous but very proud of you. I dont know what to tell you about the females at your job...Never show your inexperience and never allow your hate if you have it toward females to surface. I did and it was just a matter of me blaming them and myself for what I am and what I am not. Never did I abuse my humanly powers onto anyone. If you can afford it treat yourself to a nice whore.... I was pondering that given I have a blah birthday in a couple of months. But what's the point in paying for a bond life should have given to me? Dunno, Im on dating services but dont get responses. The ones that do seem very sexual which is a turn off for me, given the only thing I could do to them is poke.... I know a female will laugh at my size and I run some where and cry or worst... I dunno. Dude do you have friends? Are you close with your family as well? If you want to talk in private you know my email. I don't want to seem nosy. Well take care jeff.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Thanks for responding back Mr Phil. I'm glad you didn't take my words out of content. I really respect your knowledge and opinions given they're solid each time. Mr Phil, are sure it isn't the HCG not TRT that is sending the " signal " to the brain that your testes are producing testosterone normally thus, why you and along with your body may feel much better after taking HCG? 'Normally' meaning your body actually makes your own sperm with the help of HCG to stimulate it...Not the HCG tricking the brain into thinking you are making your own T. It's that 'signal' the brain needs in thinking the TRT and HCG is the bodys actual T. We all know once we stop taking it our testosterone levels will start to decrease because the body cannot function without it much like prior when the hypogonadism occurred. I have not read your sperm counts Mr Phil. I guess that is one direct way in knowing if HCG in both hypogonadism males actually works. The basic function of HCG would raise the sperm count thus, your testes would function or if you are secondary re-function normally again. So, if you have that blood work I would love to read the before results and after results of your sperm count. Any information further is a key for me and other males as well. I'm not trying to nosy but I know you do give out that type of information. --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Elliot you missed what I was saying. Men with low T going on T meds. shut down the HTPA so taking T med. the brain stops sending the message to the testis to make T. After a time on T meds the testis get small from not working. They are not working because there not getting the LH and FSH messages from the Pituitary in the brain to the testis to make T. So it is TRT that shuts down the testis. Adding HCG does not put LH or FSH into the blood stream but it acts like LH and stimulates the testis to make T. Also stimulates other LH receptors even ones we don't know about. The new thinking is that a man with low T also needs HCG in his treatment to keep 3 hormone path ways working. Adding T shuts down HTPA adding HCG simulates LH and keeps things working normal. For use men on TRT is has nothing to do with sperm count. Phil ELLIOT BAKER <elliotbkr@...> wrote: Thanks for responding back Mr Phil. I'm glad you didn't take my words out of content.

Mr Phil, are sure it isn't the HCG not TRT that is sending the " signal " to the brain that your testes are producing testosterone normally thus, why you and along with your body may feel much better after taking HCG? 'Normally' meaning your body actually makes your own sperm with the help of HCG to stimulate it...Not the HCG tricking the brain into thinking you are making your own T. It's that 'signal' the brain needs in thinking the TRT and HCG is the bodys actual T. We all know once we stop taking it our testosterone levels will start to decrease because the body cannot function without it much like prior when the hypogonadism occurred. I have not read your sperm counts Mr Phil. I guess that is one direct way in knowing if HCG in both hypogonadism males actually works. The basic function of HCG would raise the sperm count thus, your testes would function or if you are secondary re-function normally again. So, if you have that blood work I would love to read the before results and after results of your sperm count. Any information further is a key for me and other males as well. I'm not trying to nosy but I know you do give out that type of information. --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 --- In , ELLIOT BAKER <elliotbkr@...> Elliot, have you researched Klinefelter's syndrome & the varients? If it s true Klinefelters then you are sterile. If the Mosaic variation then you produce some sperm, but have the extra female chromosomes. Female cells usually in the upper body. High estrogen, low testosterone, Sparse body hair, extra fat layer, & large boobs, small penis & testicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
