It is amphetamine. You will lose weight on it. That is a side effect.

Thanks for all the great compliments. Just post or PM me if you have any questions regarding your health. I will always try my best and will tell you if it is beyond my scope.

You have a Holter Monitor on right now to check activity for 24 hours. Many EKG's are wrong on athletes. I have posted similar information on other posts. Athlete's are prone to larger hearts and an EKG can come back abnormal on athletes. When you exert yourself running, playing football...

Actually, normal can be up to from 300-1080. Different labs, different hospitals, different doctors...they all have different normal ranges. There is no standard with Total Testosterone. It changes every year. What was normal last year at 900 is normal this year at 1000.

Hey...I think I agree with DrJMW post!

Thanks Punch. Good Luck.

To elaborate to those who do not know about Azathioprine: This is how it works: Azathioprine disrupts the synthesis of DNA and RNA. This means that it disrupts cell division and that tissues with relatively rapid cell division are especially prone to its effects. In the treatment of immune...

Are you on Azathioprine for a Kidney Transplant or RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis)? I assume RA since you were taking the anti-inflamm drug before. Azathioprine can cause an increase in cancer risk when used long-term. This particular risk increases in patients with a prior history of treatment with...

The veins your physician is going to cut out is a Superficial vein (this meaning it is outside the muscle fascia and just below the skin). These can develop varicosities. It is likely if you are being cut at the groin that you are having the Saphenous Vein removed (this is one of the larger...

Punch...no problem. I am sure by tweaking your diet and routine, you surely can get a little more muscle mass. Whatever you decide, just do not make a spur of the moment decision. Your decision and family history could affect all of those that are around you. I should know...I lost my older...

I can tell you that Test will lower your HDL (good) even further and could elevate your LDL (bad) even higher. It sounds that you have a family history of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia (increased lipid build-up which causes plaque inside the arterial walls). First of all, I would imagine...
