  1. Boron reduces the effect of SHBG upon free testosterone.

    Yes, I think I will just ask the nice lady doctor at my local clinic on Friday before she does the shot to take blood for all three tests.  Thanks for the advice on the oestrogen (and test for oestradiol too?).

    It's 700 baht for a testosterone blood test but I don't know which type, free or total or if it's double the price for both.

    Then, if there are any anomalies, I will look for a decent endocrinologist and maybe urologist.  This is an endocrine problem which causes a limp dick, not a physical one AFAICS.

    I will write up the history when I get a minute and you will see what's been happening.  Waaay too many wrong conclusions and assumptions have been made by most commenters so far.

     

    Estradiol (E2) is the usual test.

    Sorry, got caught up in something else but you guys seem to know most of what's going on in this thread.

    I have had a former Thai student who works for Pfizer tell me that either Bangkok Christian Hospital  or St Louis are worth trying for a decent urologist and checkup.

    I need to be in Silom tomorrow anyway so thought I would see what's what at both.

    Does anyone know anything about them in this regard?  Do they have ED and testosterone deficiency specialists at either and are they any good?  And which is the cheapest - I'm on a budget?  Bangkok Christian?

    Or are there any other places which are better?  I go to the Army hospital, Phramongkutklao, for my knee arthritis and they are good for that - worth trying them?

    Also, I am due a testosterone shot on Friday and before the shot I was going to get the clinic to take a blood test to check my testosterone levels but I can't remember if it should test for free or total testosterone or both.  Anyone know?  I think the first ever test I had about 2004 was for free testosterone.

     

    Could do with a quick answer!  ???? 

     

    Get your estrogen checked.

    I would get free and total testosterone checked.

    Sometimes, the independent labs have good prices; however, I'm in Patts, so I can not offer any practical suggestions.

    I have told people already in my OP  - test. enanthate 3-weekly and whatever the dose on the ampoule is - 250 mgs.  

    Why would I stop the testosterone?  My body doesn't make it because my pituitary gland has atrophied since my TRT.  Do you mean stop in the short term until I have a full hormone test?

    I had a CBC 10 days ago.  All fine, but slightly elevated uric acid. 

    I am having my  testosterone check on Thursday.  I am unsure what to ask for though - total free testosterone or something else?

     

     

    TRT has at least 2 pitfalls. It shuts down your HPTA (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis*) - which stops (In layman's terms) the testes production of sperm and testosterone - so your nuts shrink.
    The aromatase enzyme# converts the excess testosterone to estrogen. Excess  estrogen is both a libido, and a boner, killer. Also, if your estrogen drops (from taking too much anti-aromatase) too low - it's limp weenie city.

    For me - I would to do TRT unless I was under a doctor's - with knowledge of hormone management - supervision.

    I think it is the opposite in this case. The city know that it is going to be very hard to make a murder charge stick in the criminal case, even if every member of the jury wants to punish Chauvin. The prosecutor, under obvious political pressures, aimed a little too high in setting the charges.

    An acquittal in the criminal case will obviously lead to extreme public anger and violence. So, the city have pre-empted that by making an astonishingly high civil settlement to insulate their administration and their own political careers from the likely blowback. 

    In normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to pin any civil liability on the taxpayer because of the astonishing levels of fentanyl in his system and his career as a violent criminal. Even in these highly-politicized circumstances, and even though the burden of evidence is far lower in a civil case, if the city had mounted even a basic defense, any award would have been limited to around a million. The figure of $27 m was carefully chosen to be both an offer the family couldn't refuse AND a big enough sacrifice to shield the city administration from the coming storm.

    Bear in mind that the "mostly peaceful protests" last summer caused $2 billion in direct damage, $500 m of that in Minneapolis alone, 19 deaths, and contributed at least partly to the US having among the worst Coronavirus statistics in the world, which will ultimately cost trillions. The Biden administration are extremely eager to avoid a replay of that and will have made that abundantly clear to their party colleagues in Minneapolis.
     

    Good analysis.
