@RaypEagle I know how you feel sadly I am still living in mine despite the numerus conversations about cutting my contract well actually almost an year. So what helps me cope in that shit situation is Ketotifen. In the winter was 1gr twice a day, now is the summer bc of the heat and the humidity I do 2gr twice a day. Also I use sometimes Lapodin.

I asked Chat and it gave me these 4 reasons Ill skip the actual explanations. Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation:, Histamine Release, Autonomic Nervous System: Bromocriptine's effect on the autonomic nervous system can disrupt the normal regulation of nasal blood vessels, leading to congestion, and prolactin suppression.

@ThinPicking thanks.

@Stinky-bill-19 before you start taking exogenous thyroid it might be worth it to try eating things which have zinc and copper and selenium like liver and oysters, and eating coconut oil and more carbohydrate, maybe also vitamin D and more calcium to see if you can get some endogenous thyroid going and lower the TSH. I haven’t tried Tyromix but I hear that alcohol is not the best delivery vehicle for thyroid hormone. The Mexican stuff is what I’ve tried and most swear by it.

@Cynomel maybe a bit spicier. Go in jars and inspect each time, might be different each time

@RandomUser is there any good way to help the liver? Taurine maybe

Can't wait to print this off and read it. Looks very detailed!

@DavidPS very informative, thank you

@risingfire said in The Testosterone/DHT Conspiracy: @yerrag beyond albumin I would suggest estrone, prolactin and dht Might be low dht, but less likely high estrone or prolactin. As my good metabolism (supported by good sugar regulation and good acid base balance, no allergies, great immune resistance, normal weighted essential despite not having an active sports or workout lifestyle while eating 3 full carb loaded meals a day) precludes having high estrone or prolactin. But my high blood pressure condition also points toward my body adapting my blood pressure to provide just enough pressure to provide adequate perfusion to my organs to protect them from degeneration. This pressure is not enough though, to fully feed the capillaries of my scalp adequately to maintain a lush hair cover. There is still enough hair though to not be bald. The body simply know having lush hair is not as important as keeping my organs. It probably thinks keeping my virility at its highest is not as important as well. I may have enough androgens but not enough microcirculstion for my hair to be as full.

its unbelievably castrating for me LOL

Find dopaminergic activities that you enjoy or go to the gym and exert yourself. Most times I was smoking weed I was straight up just bored or didn't have any goals set that I was trying to amount to. Weed is also serotonigenic so I would def recommend staying away.

Well temps are still at 37.8 (100 F). Should I take a cold shower?

@otto - Thanks for the study. There is more than one way to skin a cat (deal with depression). Pharmaceutical SSRIs, which increase the 'happiness hormone', have their issues. Especially when a person stops taking them. At one time there was talk about many of the mass shootings were done by people who recently stopped their SSRIs. Now it seems that the medical privacy of the deceased shooter is more important than the discovering the root cause. SSRI drugs, not depression, destroy empathy http://haidut.me/?p=1053

@Andrewㅤ What did you change to eating?

@DkJoe2 I haven't used either regularly enough to compare. The main difference would be the acetyl group in aspirin which permanently inhibits the COX enzyme, and aspirins acidic ph (can be buffered with sodium bicarbonate). Wintergreen is potentially more similar to sodium salicylate I'd say? Aspirin acts as an acetylating agent where an acetyl group is covalently attached to a serine residue in the active site of the COX enzyme
