HOY-Because I HAD to try it...

[Shannon]

With a background in exercise science and physiology (by no means an MD), I can only surmise that HRT/TRT shut down your natural production of testosterone (which decreases with age after 30 for men).  Stopping HRT leaves your HPTA in the dirt, and using instructions to start it back up would, I'd think, take more time than someone who never used HRT.

This may or may not be the case, but it's a possible scenario.

Of course, that is a possibility. I am asking Shannon to see if he thinks that's it or if it is something else or if there is a tweak we can toss in there...

Thanks,

What RTB said is a very good point, although I do not have proof one way or the other.  But that possibility, coupled with what seems to be some sort of psychological trauma associated with hormones (as per your revelations) which may be causing your subconscious to resist or even reverse your desired results, is also a possibility to consider.

Per a doctor I had dealings with during the care of my mother at the end of her life while her emphysema was at max and her oxygen levels required artificial oxygen support, your body will respond to high levels of oxygen in the blood by shutting down the breathing reflex to lower the oxygen levels.  That, as it was explained to me, was why they could not simply continue to add more and more oxygen volume as her lungs deteriorated and gave out.  It would seem that per RTB's statement, that the body will stop producing Testosterone if you already have enough, or in the case of TRT, perhaps an artificially high amount.

There are the following possibilities we could explore from this point:

1) Change nothing, and see if the levels change over time.  If the settings are correct and your body needs to start producing hormones naturally again, this is what you will do best with.
2) Adjust the volume.
3) Slowly wean you off of TRT in hopes that your body will pick up the slack as you do so.  I'm not exactly a fan of this idea, since it's mixing hormone triggers and therapies, and because I don't personally have high hopes that your body would actually do that.
4) Stop using the sub, and go back to HRT.

Based on what I currently know, my money is on Option #2.  This latest gen of tech seems to be so powerful that we need to significantly lower the volume from what was expected.  So let's have you adjust the volume only, and change it to 6 on your cell phone, from where it is now, and continue. This will allow us to communicate with a deeper part of your subconscious and do so more gently, which I believe will allow you to get much better results.
