6-Month Post Crash Bloodwork - Please Advise
I had my follow-up 6 month bloodwork taken after crashing from a single 1mg pill.. Here are the results:
Cortisol - AM (fasted): 23.9 (6.2-19.4)
Estrone: 71 (15-65)
Total Estrogens: 126 (40-115)
Growth Hormone: <0,1 (0.0-10.0)
Estradiol, Sensitive: 26.1 (8.0-35.0)
Vitamin D: 56.0 (30.0-100)
IGF1: 223 (115-355)
DHT: 55 (30-85)
Free Testosterone: 16.5 (9.3-26.5)
Testosterone, Serum: 869 (264-916)
FSH: 2.4 (1.5-12.4)
LH: 8.2 (1.7-8.6)
Free Thyroxine Index: 1.7 (1.2-4.9)
T3 Uptake: 27 (24-39)
Thyroxine (T4): 6.4 (4.5-12.0)
TSH: 2.450 (0.450-4.500)
I understand that my estrogen and cortisol are quite high, which would explain my muscle wastage and why I totally feel like shit. Is there any input you guys have on this? I’ve been referred to an endocrinologist. Taking the time to respond and let me know any advise is much appreciated. I'm broken up about these results, as I know they are quite bad..

No doctors. The answer to every problem is the Protocol + consistency + Time..
Ugh no offense but i loathe seeing bloods. It just puts me back to last year when I was confused & id obsessively look at peoples numbers & try to piece things together like a mad scientist.
The answer to pfs & most male problems even outside of pfs it is the protocol + Time.. living healthily with consistence is the answer.. the epiphany here is that I truly believe our medical system does not want the population to know that it really is as simple as this. your giving it all it needs & then nature is doing its job Which is to constantly self correct..you don’t need a medical intervention, & that’s what they hate cause they can’t prescribe you anything.. they don’t want to solve the root, they just want to manage symptoms with meds that keep you on them forever..again, the medical system is not ALL bad, but most (not all) issues can be reversed....
most pfs guys go the medical route first only to realize it does not work.. We are here to tell you it doesn’t.. save your time, energy, and money bro..
CD please go on a rant about doctors/pharmaceutical industry .. I’m sure your way beyond that point but it’s nice to see you express your own frustrations with the whole thing in a more articulate way.

I’m assuming your estrogen is high right now to overcompensate for an issue with your receptors, as well as issues with your 5AR activity, which is why it’s causing test to go the estrogen route instead of DHT. You might bring that blood level down, but most likely will only have a worsening effect because you will further upregulate your estrogen receptor.
I suggest doing nothing until you feast and then get started. You have knowledge of your baseline as it stands now, and tinkering with “patches” on your bucket currently full of holes isn’t going to make it hold anymore water.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It’s just gonna be wack a mole with your endocrine system, which is not fun at all. Fuck with one thing, something else changes. That I can promise you, it’s a game of wack a mole where the CPU is undefeated. No one has won or will win.
Again, protocol brings all these things back into balance and raises your equilibrium as a WHOLE.. very SLOWLY. This is a more realistic, safer, more effective route. Just is.

With regard to PFS, it's been proven in numerous studies (ones that aren’t focused around PFS) that the presence of androgens leads to the up-regulation of androgen receptors - essentially, the more androgens you have, the more sensitive to them you become - so it could be that raising your androgens in a manner that doesn't lead to suppression (as would occur with most forms of exogenous hormone supplementation) will lead to repopulation of the androgen receptors and thus re-sensitisation to the androgens’ effects.
But really, if you're looking for a rationalistic explanation of PFS and its cure, you won't find one. Most endocrinologists - supposedly the experts in this field - will deny that the condition even exists, and over on the site-that-shall-not-be-named, decades of collective man-hours have gone into blind speculation and attempts to interpret myriad contradictory blood tests, with nothing to show for it.
On paper, this condition doesn’t exist; but as we all know, it sure as hell does in practice - the only proof of it is in our symptoms, ergo the cure to it won’t be found in studies or bloodwork, but rather in the reports of what’s worked for other men to relieve those symptoms. The way I see it, we didn’t need to understand exactly how PFS works in order to be affected by it; similarly, we don’t need to understand exactly how the protocol works in order for it to work its magic.
That other site is the worst. I’m so thankful that I did not waste any time or had speculation of anything, or tried something stupid..
I call that phase where your exercising the medical route only to be let down time and time again the “Limbo” phase... CD was there for 3 years, has to be torturous and frustrating ..... 5 days later after my crash I was already water fasting. I didn’t question anything. I was all in from day 1. everything about the protocol made sense and this site had the most testimonials, along with you seeing other people improve or on the way.. that was all I needed.. literally on this day last year I was a MESSSSSS.
