A lot of people...are people, they MAY do the wrong thing with good intentions. Did he start off wrong, sure he did...

His symptoms sound more like low T than a fucked up thyroid...but SOME are there. His mild weight gain, would not be one of them....especially since he's dieted some back off. I doubt his thyroid is "ill".

He was given a suggestion to use aromasin, much easier to deal with....with a dose they wont crash his E2...for life lol.

He was given the suggestion to get to a "steady state" and to lower and level off his dose with enough time for his bloods...to mean, shit.

Im 51, been on self admin. TRT for several yrs, because most Drs/Endo's/Uro's don't know or don't care to know, what the fuck they are doing. My pituitary was damaged from head trauma. As stated, MANY men need TRT at different ages, for many reasons. A LOT are due to environmental toxins tho....and the age affected is slow, but sure, getting younger and younger.

His "steady state" bloods would notify him of low SHBG.

The best protocol there is, is daily pins of Prop....mimics a bodies natural production the closest, with zero E2 spikes.

Now....could there be another issue besides low T...sure, everyones diff and anythings possible...but I doubt it. Did he start off a little wrong, sure he did, but just waiting 6 weeks is easier said than done....when feeling like he does.

OP Danx...pm me if u would like to read a book on TRT by a 30 yr neurosurgeon and another guy that knows his endocrinology, blood work, etc better than Drs...hes been doing it about 20 yrs. Not boasting, these are just the 2 guys credentials. And theyre knowledge is.....very good, Ill leave it at that. Maybe read it during your 6 weeker :0
