So my Libido is a shady mofo. Even with sunlight, fats, fruits, veggies, etc it can be hit or miss. I also have Lyme disease and lyme disease is a shady mofo. Symtoms get worse in the winter and I must say, as soon as it started to finally cool down here, my libido has too. So, here's my question. What do you guys think about taking a libido supplement like maca indefinitely? Is that bad? Am i just masking my issue? I'm also awating to see my endo again about my thyroid and possible cushing disease, high cortisol. So this could factor in too. I have a lot going on in me. There's a good chance i'm hypo thyroid, and that I have the cushing disease. I'll find out in January when I go back what the cortisol and thyroid tests say. And then the Lyme could be causing the cortisol/ thyroid issue. I hate not having a raging libido like i used to. I also noticed on my hormone test that my prolactin was almost at the very top of the range. In 2 separate tests, my FSH has been below the lowest of the range. High prolactin will supress FSH. I also would get itchy nips, and nips would look a little puffy. So i started taking L-dopa and P5P and that took away a decent amount of the puffyness and the itchyness is gone. Dam, this post is getting complicated. Anyway, i had assumed past SD use with not so good pct's had fuked up my t and that's why i had libido isses, but my test was been in the 600's in 2 separate tests from quest, but one labcorp test said my test was 454. I also seem to not have been all that great since using ostarine. Only used it for 2 weeks and used it with a test booster, but 2 weeks in, my libido was gone. So I don't know. I'd like to just be able to get sunlight, eat right, sleep right and have a high libido, but maybe that's just not in the cards for me. I also have to admit to you guys something. I'm way to young to have used steroids, a sarm, peptides. That's the truth. I'm just gonna be honest with you guys. I've done some really immature things. even knowing all about pct's, the dangers, I still took these compounds. I know that I should prolly never use hormones again until I'm old and have to go on TRT. Even a mild DHT hormone when I'm in my mid to late 20's is something I plan on avoiding because of past irresponsible use. You guys would never have thought it, but yep, I'm only 19 years old, will be 20 in march. It's crazy, I know. My knowledge, way I post, you'd never think I was a fukin teen. All I do now, is make sure my friends don't use anything if they're under 21, and my friends that are 21 and over and wanna cycle, i make sure that if they do use, I make a cycle out for them and make sure they have support supps, and a good pct. I also do my best to deter anyone under 21 that hormones aren't needed. I just try and make sure people use em responsibly, unlike me. My first cycle? 4 weeks of Superdrone at 17. Insane. If i could go back, I so would. Not worth it any way shape or form. So yeah, there's my confession.
I know there's 101 and one factors going on here, but what do you think? My thought is that, If healthy living doesn't give me a good libido, then nothing wrong with taking maca daily to help me out.
I've actually wanted to tell you guys for a while that I'm just a kid. This is a tight community, and is really like a family. I don't like being dishonest period, and kind of felt like i was putting on a facade talking about use like I was of age to be using these compounds. Now you guys know. I apologize for my immaturity, and hope you guys won't think too low of me. Thanks for reading.
