Could it be possible that there is a link between progesterone and athleticism/coordination.
I keep bringing this up because it is blowing my mind.
Ever since I took Ella and started cycling progesterone, I have become am exponentially better athlete than I was.
For example:
I play weekly pickup basketball with friends. Ever since prog cycling I have been far and beyond better athletically and my coordination is the best it has ever been. No one understands how I got so good at basketball overnight.
I've also noticed my willingness to compete and overall competitiveness has come back.
Is this something anyone else has experienced?
Maybe @Helen or @TubZy know of a reason.
Very exciting

If you eat Prog everyday for lunch you are playing one day in the NBA. Its maybe Michael Jordans best kept secret the prog.
But interesting post, we dont know unfort.what your prog cycling did with the other hormons. When I had my worst anhedonia, I was much faster on drums when ever and coordination was great. Like if some blocking thing wouldnt exist anymore.
Prog is somehow great, even for guys without pfs a friend pharmacist told me.

Did you have symptoms from pfs that made it hard for you to workout and Ella/progesterone fixed that?
Or you always felt good exercising and Ella just improved you more?

So it's been around 2.5 months since I tried ella and progesterone.
Currently just trying b complex and emergen c.
As of now, I am back to baseline - super low libido.
Creatine used to give me huge benefits before Ella. Now it seems to make me feel worse. Any thoughts @Helen ?
Sending hair sample to Arl tomorrow, something I must have done much sooner. I will post results once I get them.

Ah damn, they do...? Is your TEI provider near Toronto?
Catherine says she can do either.
Tell the doctor the relevant things, keep it short and simple... and make it sound all natural, quick and easy for the referral. Less details, the better. Just confidence.
Maybe leave out the anti-prog/abortion drugs. Not joking.

Hmm, ok. Whatever works man... I get referrals from Toronto because I cannot deal with reintroducing myself here, unless absolutely necessary.
And over there, in Toronto... I just try and see Rapid Access Clinics, if it's necessary (obviously not always possible for everyone and sometimes you need a G.P. - for transferrable medical history, etc. I hate that entire process so much. Note (anti-confusion: I meant R.A.C.'s for emergencies, derma, and other specialists).
Honestly, if you have a good relationship with your ADD doc or any doc, it's best for referrals. I only ever ask the few that I like. If I ever ask someone else, I regret it.
@tonysoprano Also, hey. I did not mean to say I was using someone in Toronto. I was asking if you were. Sorry, unclear. Yeah, I will use Catherine (TX) or Sonya (B.C.).
Catherine does both but I'd like for chart-continuity, and I did ARL with Sonya March 20.

A R.A.C can give a referral to TEI?

TL;DR. 1.
Honestly, emailing Catherine is the best. -- go straight to the source. She's really nice too.
[email protected]
Just woke up, otherwise I would have said this first. --> Also it's hair in a small envelope, placed in a larger envelope and addressed to the address she'll send you, pm'd.
2.
Maybe, but only if you have a serious reason to see a rapid access clinic (because remember they have huge demand). People go there to skip the line and also for biopsies etc, in Dermatology. I put that out there, bc I did or would need to see them, to determine a rash once (probably just a pimple, hypochondriac just a tad).
And if I had worsening issues on Lamotrigine like skin blemishes, I'd go there. I am not sure if there are non-Derma RAC's in Toronto. There must be... but I don't know. you would think there is, but I cannot find them. I can ask... but the docs I would ask would never have heard of TEI. Which is why I mean, if you see a Fam doc that you've known years and they trust your word, or your ADD doc (someone), it could be easier. If I went into a Walk-In (with bottom of the barrel physicians -- not always), it would not go well.
Esp, when I lose my patience. RAC-- near Distillery District did help me for a couple things (one very real reason, one kind of ... anxiety related reason, and just vanity). And I'm sure they'd refer, but I'd have to explain to them what is going on. I haven't been back more than 2-3x since last year, so I have no doctors. I kind of do, but also I have no family doctor. And I might change mine when I go back to Toronto. Most people don't do things in this crazy way, I was just putting it out there.

Have not been feeling great the past week and a half. This dark depressed feeling seems to keep coming and going. Haven't felt this way since I battled depression way before fin. Not a great feeling at all but definitely manageable. If I give in to it I lose. I won't lose to this.

Woke up feeling perfectly fine mentally this morning. I must have been feeling down yesterday because of the zinc tablet I took.

I have been thinking alot about body chemistry and how medication can really cause some imbalances.
I was on various ADHD medications for my whole childhood up to age 17. I was on Strattera for a major part of that time. There are small snippets of memory from 8th grade where I felt that same shrinkage feeling I have with PFS.
Furthermore, I did not start jerking off untill 9th grade while most of my friends had been doing so for years before. This is all despite going through puberty much earlier than almost all of my friends.
By 12th grade I was having sex alot but even if I had a small amount of alcohol in my system I would have trouble getting it up.
I gave up Strattera for good halfway through the year and was perfectly fine for two years untill I took Zoloft for one month in October 2015 and then finally Propecia for 1 month in November 2015.
When I now look at all this, I can't fully blame Fin for everything. This was a lifetime of weakening my body and Fin was the thing that put me over the edge.
Now it is time to get balanced.

Yeah straterra is an SNRI, makes sense. It's good to balance all. Zoloft similar - SSRI as you know.
Yo, so I sent mine out Monday and they should be there the upcoming Monday. This means I can then get them to express it for say wednesday or more like a couple weeks?

I have the place to myself tomorrow night so I have this girl coming over.
I still have a super low libido and very bad EQ so we will see how it goes and what happens.
Haven't had the courage try to hook up with a girl in so long due to having severe ED, but I figured hey I am a good looking young guy I can't just avoid girls forever.
Will provide you all with an update!
