    As for other drugs what specifically are your goals.
    Thank you! Well, my goals are just to add a bit of size pretty slow. I am fluctuating right now between 178-183 depending on the week. I just want to take the gain slow and steady. I have hypertension, High triglycerides, hight cholesterol, and some palpitations. I dont want to start until I get cleared from the cardiologist and general physician. Definitely not going to be dumb about it, even though I want to be! I have never had gyno symptoms, but have have issues with sex drive and worsening of acne. For some reason lately, I have not ben able to control my BP, and my doctor has changed my BP meds 3 times in 2 months to try and get it controlled. So with all that said, I am wanting to put a little stress on my cardiovascular system as possible, hence wanting a slow and patient gain. Target weight is 205, not this cycle, but within the next 8 months Id like to be there. Low bodyfat of course.

    IMO, getting medically cleared as you indicated is prudent. Unfortunately most doc's say your fine if your anywhere within the lab scale. I'd really give this some time before you embark on this. Your overall health is far more important than a few extra pounds.

    Question. Are you on statins or non-statins? Talk to your doc about low dose daily cialis as it will help with blood pressure. Also do some research on DHEA as it will help backfill pathways now that your on TRT. It will also help with you lipids. If you use it, get micronized only and I'd suggest starting low at 25mg per day and re-evaluate your BW. Consider the same advice for Pregnenolone. I'll throw one more at you, Vit D3. If not supplementing do so. It improves your free T level and is arguably one of the most important vitamins (hormone actually) that you can take.

    Thanks alot! I have a renal ultrasound, ecocardiogram, and another round of BW scheduled in 2 or 3 weeks. My new cardiologist seems to suspect a blockage in my kidneys that has been undiagnosed for 15 years. He said that even though hypertension is hereditary in my case, that the doctors should have questioned why it came on so early in me (15years old).
    Anyways, I wont touch anything until cleared in a few weeks. I am supplementing with D3, and have been for about 2 months now, after my lastset of BW. What I dont understand, and would like to know as I am now intrigued, what the DHEA does by backfilling pathways? That interests me. My doctor told me not to take it because it could mess with my TRT. Keep in mind, my doctor is 80 and has no business prescribing TRT anyways because he dosent know anything about it. My sex drive is still sucky even while on TRT. Heck, maybe this is an issue I should post in the TRT section...
