Who Should NOT do HRT???

[saltydog1820]

The short version. I am now 43 years old. After 3 years on HRT and HGH I stopped due to financial reasons. I went from being in the best shape of my adult life to 75lbs overweight, total cholesterol 360, high blood pressure and last month had 5 stents placed in my 95% blocked heart arteries. My blood pressure and cholesterol are now under control with medication. Would HRT do more harm than good for someone in my condition?

Damn....it would seem the before and answer may be your best start....do you have same Drs....is he/she aware of what happened after you stopped HRT?

[meathead320]

I think you should have STAYED ON.

What on earth could have been more $$ important?

Good lord.

I was using one of the Anti Aging clinics out of Florida. You know how pricey they can be... especially the HGH. They went out of buisiness during the recent sting operations. I am set up to go with another clinic but don't know if I should be up front and tell them my complete medical history (stents) or not. I may be high risk and scare them off.

so are you saying you were in the best shape of your life while on HRT then you stopped and all this shit happened to you ?

Yes. But it wasn't a true HRT. It was more back to back cycles with only 3-4 weeks of PCT in between. My blood work before I started showed me to be right at the bottom of the Normal level.

Dude, you should have worked with a Urologist.

The kind you go see in PERSON, they blood test you, and they have no interest in PCT, as the test and hgh (I do not even use growth as the test itself has boosted my GH and IGF-1), and they keep you on indefinately.

That is still what you should do, as far as find a good Urologist.

When trying to find one, one tip is to talk to their nurse first, and found out if he has a lot of experience dealing with testosterone cypionate , and hgh therapy.

Some Urologists specalize in sex hormones and related hormones, and that is what you need to find.

They may deem in unsafe for you at this point, OR quite the opposite, they may be very encouraging.

I have seen many endos and urologist. None seem interested in HRT. You would think that living in the 4th largest city in the country I could find a Dr to help me. My insurance would even pay for everything. I have been using the online clinics because thats all I have at the moment.

You are correct. But going from being Superman while ON to having the hormone level of an 80 year old while OFF, my desire to train has diminished. Still no excuse to let myself get into the shape I am in. I have improved in the diet and cardio areas... The fear of dying young will do that to a person.

[zaggahamma]

understandable....glad you're improving too...with the help of a doctor, if i were you, i would diet/exercise slowly and drop 1-2 pounds a week....you wont even notice the decrease in calories...i dont see how a hrt dose of test would do any harm....i've never experienced an increase in heart rate while on

[saltydog1820]

I do need to see a real Dr. What I want to know is:

Did the AAS cycles cause my heart problems?
Did stopping the AAS cause it?
Did the sedentary lifestyle and weight gain cause it? (Most likely)
Was it there all along? Family history of heart disease.
Would HRT along with diet and exercise HELP or HURT my cardiovascular system?

I want to feel like Superman again!
