Hey guys and gals,
Been working out and lost near 60lbs. Recently some weight seems to have been cuddling its way back to my mid section. I have experience with T-ethanate for about a year and i was feeling awesome due to some physical issues i was going through and have been. I have little to report in actual muscle gain after cycling 200 twice a week for 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off. Although i did lose weight and have been told by my Dr. my muscle structure is phenominal although i dont seem to look more than the average male. I stopped taking test a few months ago and switched to Hygetropin and was having good results even with a low dose of 3iu/day. Over the past few months many symptoms i was having prior to test have been coming back. It all goes back to 2007 when i went to the Dr. with serious fatigue and dizziness issues along with migraines. Blood work then and i was told it was all normal. At that time i told them i thought i had a brain tumor so they did an MRI and found nothing. Although since then i have felt a pressure behind my eyes and adjacent to my left ear with hearing phasing in that ear. Well low and behold 4 weeks ago my shoulder started flaring up in extreme pain so i went to my Doctor again and he sent me to an ortho surgeon who 2 days later xrayed my shoulder and also my neck thinking some symptoms were from a neck injury. 20 min. later he came back and said i had shoulder problems and neck problems but was concerned with my pituitary gland as the xray showed calcium/bone growing on it. They immediately called for MRI scans of my neck, shoulder, and brain. Shoulder is worn out, just had surgery yesterday, hurts like hell but should heal well. Neck doesnt bother me so im leaving that alone although the MRI of my brain not only confirmed calcified growth it showed i have a tumor logged between my pituitary and hypothalumus. The tumor is growing and will kill me if left unattended although it is not cancerous. Thats great news. The tumor is pushing on my pituitary and the result is very low LH and FSH output resulting in low test and thyroid function. Dr. prescribed androgel of course which seems ok although i did prefer injection. I did not tell him i was taking HGH and i also did not take any the day my bloodwork was done. My levels of igf-1 came back at 156 which kinda surprised me. They consider 250 the high side of normal and i thought with only 3iu/day i should of been closer to the 250 mark. Im wondering if because of its half life it cannot show a true level when not taken, 4-6 hour half life, i think before it is out of the body. I have been taking taitropin the past month instead of hygotropin so i dont know if it makes any difference but they are essentially the same 191aa. So two days ago before my shoulder surgery i have started taking 6iu each day and i am monitoring my blood sugar. I have anyways since im hypoglycemic and my pancreas over produces insulin. Well that is likely in my favor and i am considering even a higher dose since taitropin is so inexpensive. I have some thyroid hormones available to me and dont want to wait til august when the dr. wants to start treatment for that. what would you suggest? t3, clomid, ? i come to realize since this tumor has resulted in low hormone levels it would explain the low muscle gain even with high doses. any thoughts? my endicronoligist isnt fond of body builders, he made that fairly clear to me thats why i didnt tell him about hgh. I also had almost zero vitamin D levels, he said dangeroously low and put me on 50,000 units/ week and folic acid is low which i am now supplementing. Let me know your thoughts, thanks.
