Testosterone update

My endo agreed today to let me try a 50% increase in testosterone. Since the first 12 hours of POIS are still not wonderful, I've experimented with upping the dose just for that period, and it seemed to work. Now I'll try it 24/7. Will let you know.

Testosterone update

My endo agreed today to let me try a 50% increase in testosterone. Since the first 12 hours are still not wonderful, I've experimented with upping the dose just for that period, and it seemed to work. Now I'll try it around the clock. Will let you know.

If your skin starts turning green and your muscles start ripping out of your shirt please tell me.   [:I]

No...I'll tell everybody.  []

Demo: Your story reminds me of the time I was seeing a chiropractor 3x week. Hs receptionist called me to cancel the next weeks appointments.  The reason given was he was going to be out with a bad back.

One observation:
POIS seemed to be worse when I Orgasm after eating a lot  than when I ate very little.  Not sure if there is a connection

Very interesting! Anyone else have a similar connection?

Post-POIS digestive disturbances have been reported, so it's not surprising.

GC, if that doesn't work, I'll try a cranberry patch instead of a T-patch.

B_Jim, I wholeheartedly concur with your wish to not test NEUROGASM  [] It did _nothing_ for me, but it was...tasty.

Science will simply have to wait for proper NEUROGASM testing!

B_Jim, if I want to augment my testosterone with cranberries or blueberries, how much daily would you recommend to try? I asked my endocrinologist, and he said, "I need more data" []

[demografx]

I just joined the FCC (Forum Cranberry Club), with 1,000 mg of concentrate, also known as Vaccinium macrocarpon. The fancy Latin justifies the $17.00 price for 90 caps I presume. From GNC, who suggests 6 caps/day. I'm at Day Zero + 8 hours.

Just O'd guys.  Right now i feel the best feeling in the world. no pois.   awesome feeling of calmness.  best feeling i've felt in years.  like i've said, all that bothers me now is the fog in my frontal lobe... seems to be lifting every day.  One thing that i did differently was take benadryl a couple of hours ago.  Don't know if that contributed to this awesome feeling or what.  Just giving every possible piece of information here.

[GoingCrazy]

O'd a few more times just to make sure.  Weird though, my brain fog went away.  Maybe these chemicals being released are actually making its way to my frontal lobe now?  Or maybe whatever is in that part of my brain moved when I O'd?  I don't know.  I feel no POIS now.

does anyone get colder hands and feet after Oing

and are natural cranberries recomended over the concenrtrate juice

[CertainlyPOIS]

concentrate 100% is basically cranberries without the water.
 i will recommend getting standardized cranberry extract because that is actuall cranberries and not chemical extracts.

[THISFORUMROCKS!]

I would just like to add that to make the concentrate juice, the cranberries are probably heated in which case some nutritional properties may be lost.

Fiber and cranberry skin nutrients are probably lost too if you consume only juice. I have no idea if this makes a difference. I had some whole frozen cranberries recently and was feeling better energy and less brain fog. I'm gonna test this some more...

Also regarding nutritional stuff- I recently have begun eating a bunch of brown rice a few times a day and feeling more energy. I don't know if it is just general nutrition or Pois related. It could just be better slower release carbs than eating white bread.

Thanks by the way for the warm welcome to the group long ago. This forum rocks!

Yeah I have had cold hands and feet/poor circulation like I was cold blooded after O.

mmm, i still think chi is the key

apparently emotional freedom technique( acupuncture without the needles) can be used to stimulate the flow of chi

I may try that but dont want to stir anything else

You will realize that after months of abstinence, it still doesn't get any better when you orgasm.  It's an imbalance, something real and physical.

[wooder]

well, i have not felt too bad at all lately , actually

and deep abdominal breathing seems to be helping

[demografx]

Can anyone post some credible research evidence for the existence of chi?

B_Jim, if I want to augment my testosterone with cranberries or blueberries

In all cases, you should follow the recommanded dose. You need to know the dose of anthocyanin for each cap. The physiological dose may be 35mg . But it seems very difficult to  replace t-patches.

Thanks, B_Jim. I have no intention of replacing T-patches, in fact I just increased my T-dose 50%. I would simply like to  add an ingredient or two that would boost my 75% cure. And I take the recommended dose of cranberry caps, but I stopped after one dose, not sure why, possibly because it's difficult to measure incremental effects. Also, I don't believe anything bacterial/viral is going on with me.
