Testosterone

[dickster]

Hi I have been referred to this section for advice, if anybody is willing to help.
Age 53
Weight 182, could so with loosing 10 lb
5' 9"
Body fat 20 %.
Bodybuilding for the past 23 years.
Starting weight was 138, not genetically gifted.
Only ever taken tbol orally before, this was 10 years ago, 30 mg for 5 weeks, not much but the feeling of well being was amazing, tiredness went, sleep was great, training went much better than expected, strength went up.

History
At the age of 27, which was 26 years ago, I was diagnosed with testical cancer, I had one testical removed, no follow up treatment was carried out due to early detection, although I was monitored for 10 years.

In the last 10 years my body has slowed big time, I am constantly tired have no energy, training has not shown any improvement for years, I have a bit of fat but it is only around the belly, I eat reasonably well, I have tried all the natural methods to improve test secretion.

Went to my GP 5 years ago and asked for test to be checked plus a full hormone blood check, he refused and instead prescribed me with anti depressants, the result of still feeling shit, more tired than ever, but feel happier about it lol.
The drugs I am taking have a multitude of side effects. They have also added to body fat and hampered training.
I was thinking of doing a test e cycle for 10 weeks, 200 mg twice a week, then 4 weeks of pct, inc hcg , clomid and nolvadex .
My blood pressure is slightly high 140/90, but it drops below this especially in the morning 125/70.
I have been told cialis can help with blood pressure.
Any comments and advice is most welcome.

Why can't you get your testosterone checked? If your gp won't do it than find another or do it yourself. No reason not to get it checked before you blindly jump into something.

Also, most people recommend getting your testosterone level checked before doing a cycle. Therefore with bloodwork one can see if they fully recover from the cycle.

Thank you, I understand what you say and thank you for replying. Truth is never having used AS, I am unaware of anywhere I can get the full spectrum blood test, a friend had his tested privately and then posted them on a forum and the test was next to useless just a couple of basic readings. I have researched on this site and seen a comprehensive list of a members blood results, although this was done in the USA. I do not want to be irresponsible, which is why I have registered with this site, thank you, Dickster.

[...] thank you, Dickster.

LOL the sardonic nature of your closing made me laugh.

Anyways, why can't you find a new doctor, express your concerns and symptoms, and have the proper lab tests order? If you are unsatisfied with your current doctor, find a new one. I agree it's easier said then done, but honestly, it is very well worth the trouble.
