Hey guys as my first post I am going to put together multiple posts to show the ups, downs, and everything inbetween of over 15 years of taking gear. I'd like to give you a preview of who I am and maybe some of my knowledge can help someone else along the way.
I'm "Nick" lol. I use to float around older boards like steroid encyclopedia before they changed over, anabolex (before the new board), steroid.com and a few others. I use to help homebrewers out with recipes and corrections. Chemistry was always my passion in school but I never followed a degree in it.

Education and Work
What brought me to TRT
Back in my school days going to college, I was driving and got T-Boned. Spin out was 270º and herniated my lumbar in 2 spots and multiple bulging disks in neck and back at 20 years old. After a year of pain and eating thru bottles of 500ct Ibuprofen I went tried my first cycle of a prohormone (probably superdrol) 3x a day and gained 12 lbs in the fire academy when most people lose weight due to the intense training. Once my core got stronger I became less dependant on Ibuprofen for pain relief.

- First doctor discussion with my PCP - "Hey doc I did this research on HGH and testosterone on the human body, here are my notes and I think it may be able to aid me in my pain"
- Doctors response in short "I cant argue anything you brought me but you are too young for me to put you on the medication"
- We discussed it further and I told him I would be trying it regardless if you perscribed it to me or not, we were very open in the discussion and he said just come get your bloodwork done with me every 6 months to make sure Im doing alright and keep on.
Baseline Bloodwork
The one good thing we did was a baseline and as a young kid still my levels were decent, Test was on the lower end of the Normal range and Estrogen was on the mid to higher range of the normal range. But everything else was good. My liver enzymes definitely do not like Creatine complexes lol.
