Steroid users will never recover natural test levels?
Any thoughts on this study published this year? The former users were said to be cognizant of pct and ai procedures.
According to this study, Seems that former aas users will never recover natural test levels in spite of PCT. What I don't understand is their LH/FSH seems very high but their testosterone production is not responding.
Permanent damage?
