How long were your TEI cycles? Did you get your hair retested after each one and readjust supplements/diet?
Each cycle was 3 months. I retested and took recommended supps after each cycle. A 3 month cycle usually consisted of 2 months actually on supps and one month off.

Awesome man. I think basically, closer to being cured = more improvements on. Rather than *hoping for* (and usually achieving snapback, tho likely diminishing returns to scale set in for all prospective treatments to PFS).

Like first several doses of Randro probably I was like: "Not sure, possibly motivates me a bit more..." Later, just microdosing felt like: Yeah I don't need this more than a few days (stronger, way more calories, better lifts sure... but* also overtraining, and also more agitated than I need to be - more androgenic... I guess, and anabolic perhaps with 4andro). --Same with TMO herbs... "no use" i thought, then later as PCT great. (no use , because I did not cleanse when first trying them last fall I think).

Like choline, randro, etc all increase sexual health, e.q., same with medical marijuana (for complicated reasons I'm sure, that last one). BUT* earlier on or in like PSSD days, probably made worse. Tiny bit of alcohol also probably helps sexual health a bit, but again -- not sustainable. And came too far in sobriety to habitually use any of those...
Not to mention got way too much work to catch up on****. (I mean very specific strains - herbal dispatch .com , which actually can't ship across Canada... due to new legislation). --Not implying Weed cures E.D., certainly - overweight, no training, no fasting, no putting self closer to health --- probably if anything hurt it. Haven't used in like 100+ days anyways. Though I did have more fun with that than cialis... sometimes both, but rarely * and certainly ***not during TEI*** (clean).


-By the way, @Goose12 - I have a slight eye infection. Supposedly pink eye (conjunctivitis) starting, but sometimes near gone, sometimes bad pain... not sure. Washing with warm water a lot... but will do it more (not just around shower but say 6x a day I should). Or any time I get up and go near washroom. Did hurt quite a bit a couple nights.
Prescriped Fusidic Acid 10mg, 1% w/v. Use it? It won't screw me up, that much I know... not worsening PFS... but maybe.... slight risk with eyes/ vision, not sure. Studies show, no it isn't... but, who can trust that... anyways, I had it maybe 2 years ago and a couple times, went away. During school, likely I got eyedrops it's been a while... obviously I do not want to take it, but I did go to bed early or tried a couple times because it was bothersome....

It's nearly or above 40 days cycle one TEI... going smooth, don't want to mess it up with drugs/ but eyes matter a lot man!

Quick update: 20 days into my 3rd round of tei. This cycle is different than the others. I am actually having big improvements on cycle instead of snapback.

All sexual sides have improved on this cycle. I don't want to jinx myself but I am actually pretty close to being cured. Feeling really good all the way around.

Anyone who has doubts in tei need to stick it out.


I am so happy for you bro. Good attitude = good results. Enjoy your life

I wouldn't worry about the eye drops. Never heard of anyone getting ED from pink eye medicine lol. Tei will fix you if it does.

How are you doing on tei? Any major improvements while on. I think the copper from this cycle is the main reason for improvements.

Thanks Helen for all your support. I don't think I would be this far in my recovery if it wasnt for you, @Boris , and everyone on this forum.

I got bloods taken but I don't know if they will shed any light on the situation, because how recovered I feel.

I am a little worried about my triglyceride levels but expected it from my post saw liver pains. Liver issues are non existent now except slight preassure after eating really high fat food, but not all of the time. Tei has really helped in this area also.

Curious what you think when/ if you get a chance to look at them.

Side note: blood pressure is usually perfect, like 117/65. Resting heart rate is usually anywhere from 55 to 75. Usually around 60.

Thanks Saw, can't wait for you to jump on tei. How are you feeling post testosterone? Anxiety still bad?

3 weeks since my last testosterone. Anxiety hits midday for no reason. Taking Magnesium, Potassium and Niacin. I think it helps a bit. Just waiting it out till I can have my hair test done. Got in touch with Catherine.

I am glad you are on track to tei. Ask Catherine but you should probably wean your self of magnesium, potassium, and niacin also. Replace them with high quality juices.

Pretty damn good. I mean eye issue -- not cuz of TEI. Took the drops helping, will run 7d max. Feels better.
Yes, so pretty good, calm... I will say relapsing nf makes me agitated. AND I am in an agitating situation (or 3-4). But* bad mood is there just 10-20mins or a few mins. But I have a very bad temper a bit, it's because of things that happened and arguments, but I cool off, go outside, walk it off. Easier to change moods. Sometimes, if I know something pretty annoying will happen, or something the day before got to me, I take a bit extra copper... 3 instead of 2. Catherine said that's fine, or was like a month ago, I may reconfirm. Does help mood and sleep significantly. When I can't fall asleep, may as well take my morning dose, so I am not trying to spend a few hours getting to sleep, but usually pretty good, just need to be consistent on sleep/wake times and dosage times. The rest I have to ride it out. Took the eye drops/ maybe was tripping out a bit, but I've taken polysporin, protopic sometimes in recent years (probably many years for polysporin), literally no damage. Making sure! Thanks.
Updating log soon but trying to keep it 74-90days, forcing myself to finish one cycle and not over analyze anything/ save time... be concise etc.
Feel 8.5/10... when very lean like better, nofap and lean, and planning my move, and gone 9/10... that and sleep same time.... probably better... BUT it's fricken hard.
APPLYING some schools, need a friend's help, some trade stuff/ asian time.... and doing it all hidden from family/ so as to not argue/ get mad...
-just get work done better on my own... but this is a car city... walking ankle express and uber.... sometimes train, but it's annoying. --also kind of ambivalent don't want to go where likely will go, but life will be better there.... and tho I don't love everyone there, did meet people... trying to get a good friend to move back too... lots of random things.
-should have job, school appn done, but it will be finalized post moving, cannot do everything in "the right order".

@Goose12 Great progress! What's your diet like alongside doing TEI? Are you eating fairly normally, or doing paleo or anything? Any alcohol? Gluten?

I feel like @MNK99 is going to get so normalized by TEI, he’s going to end up bullshit at @Helen and @Boris that they essentially removed his super powers consisting of (but not limited to) staying up all night and writing novels while he sleeps.

Still snacking on salami bud? Lol I always think of you when I eat it now. Quality sprouted grain crackers, some goat cheese, and some salami. Love it.

--In terms of "complete normalcy":
--does normalize a bit... it's boring, BUT less conflicts... tho ... then again... it's always there.
---HYPER and happy off on my own.
-NOT much mood changes in terms of shifting, pretty positive. ---maybe 1am - 4am or 8am -10am 2-20mins gotta calm down tho. I get so pissed off sometimes.
God no
Otherwise super fucked
Graduate prof school like 5-7 yrs late
Work experience 5 yrs behind....

Need my superpowers to make up for all the lost opportunities!! @bruschi11
