Been offline for a while. Have some questions
So a few of you on here I have been in contact with, so you know I have yet to do a cycle. I am waiting for the right time. In further news I have also been recovering from a broken tibia and fibula. Had surgery about two months ago, they drilled a hole under my knee cap and put a rod inside my tibia. Going from my knee all the way to my ankle. Not fun shit. None the less they had me on norco 7.5/325 which I was taking two pills every 4 hours. Even before this surgery I have had sides of low test: depression, moods wings, erectile dysfunction, low/zero sex drive, problems sleeping. Well since being on norco it has gotten worst. The last two weeks I have tried taking zero pain pills, grinding my teeth thru the pain. I took norco once in that time. Still has not gotten any better. Still have all these sides, and they fucking suck. Need to go get bloods done, have to see if my shit will cover it. I have a great diet, also eat 100% organic. Don't know what else could be goin wrong. Also bitchtits have been growing and sensitive. Blows hard core. If any of you experts or gurus or anyone I have talked too have advise you already know ill listen. Also if my shit won't cover bloods if y'all know of a good source for bloods that would be great. Went to one of the recommended sources for bloods and was just confused. Might have been bad timing cause I had no patience at the time.
On a side note got a nice shipment in of some AI and PCT to stow away.

cdaddy7I can tell you that opiates do cause lowT...remember that your levels do not just return overnight....it takes time for them to recover..look at this case study
J Pain. 2006 Mar;7(3):200-10. Links Open-label pilot study of testosterone patch therapy in menwith opioid-induced androgen deficiency.
Daniell HW, Lentz R, Mazer NA. Department of Family Practice, University of California Davis Medical School, Redding, California, USA. We conducted a 24-week open-label pilot study of testosterone (T) patch therapy in 23 men with opioid-induced androgen deficiency (OPIAD). The T dosage was 5 mg/day for the first 12 weeks and 7.5 mg/day for the second 12 weeks. Seven subjects discontinued prematurely: 4 for noncompliance, 2 for skin irritation and 1 for hepatitis C treatment. In the "completers" population (n = 16), mean (SD) free T levels (normal range 52 to 280 pg/mL) were 28.5 (18.6) pg/mL at baseline, 72.8 (29.6) pg/mL on 5 mg/day (P < .001 vs. baseline), and 120.2 (69.5) pg/mL on 7.5 mg/day (P < .001 vs. baseline and P < .01 vs. 5 mg/day). Total T, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol showed parallel changes. Sex hormone-binding globulin levels were elevated at baseline and decreased modestly with treatment (P < .05 vs. baseline at 5 mg/day; P < .01 vs. baseline at 7.5 mg/day). Luteinizing hormone levels were in the low-normal range at baseline and suppressed markedly with treatment (P < .001 vs. baseline at both doses). Androgen deficiency symptoms (ADSQ), sexual function (Watts SFQ), mood (PGWB), depression (BDI-II), and hematocrit levels showed improvement during treatment, generally more so at the 7.5 mg/day dosage (P < .001 vs. baseline for most parameters). Pain scores (BPI-SF) decreased slightly on 7.5 mg/day (interference score: P < .05 vs. baseline and 5 mg/day); the use of opioids did not change appreciably. The testosterone patches were generallywelltolerated. PERSPECTIVE:Long-actingopioidpreparations suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in men and produce a symptomatic state of opioid-induced androgen deficiency (OPIAD). Testosterone patch therapy at a dose of 7.5 mg/day normalizes hormone levels and appears to improve a number of quality of life parameters (eg, sexual function, well-being, mood) in men with OPIAD
Thank you cdaddy, Yeah I have been reading a lot, I read something similar to this. I know the opiates have made it a lot worst, but have also had this goin on before the opiates. I am going to go in tomorrow to try and get bloods done. I will keep y'all posted. Thanks again man!

This seems like a good place but read up first... Blood test should be the first thing, then you know exactly whats going on! Some people get random inflammatory responses on/off with after being drilled into bone, having pins and rods inserted ect, and it can flair up months after its been done? and removed?
Blood work will lay it all out perfectly, otherwise you just throwing random drugs at random symptoms..
Check out the link for that lab mate, might be a good.
And once you have blood work to confirm whats going on, the doc "has to prescribe" the appropriate drugs to get you healthy/base line...
Then when ya feeling good, gear the fuck up hahaha...
Just get healthy first..
Haha actually read that one a couple hours ago, along with a bunch of others. Thank you tho, I appreciate any help. So it is appreciated.
That is the plan, I dont wanna start takin shit till I have bloods telling me whats up. Thanks for the link, goin to reed it now.
good luck mate, road to recovery first, then go super human!
