Crap libido again...

Had low test for nearly a year due to prednisone never really done anything about it as such, tried hcg etc but nothing really worked. I was taking an oral type pro hormone for a few weeks + started mt2 sex drive to be honest was pretty buzzing, libido felt v high so in turn felt I had more energy to be honest.

Now im off that, not used the mt2 in quite a number of days but will go back on, as one of the sides is increased libido which I need. But libido is garbage yet again and energy levels feel pretty crap, just feel v lazy and un-motivated so pretty much back to square 1... Also off pred now anyway, but 6-mp dose is being lowered from 125mg to 100mg as my liver values are all elevated and GI wants me to bring it down.

So brings me to the question im PARANOID as hell incase of a flare up, main reason being as this is what i've been told "the last run" before you know what.

So I've got about 24 amps of pharmaceutical test-e kicking about , question is would it be of any effect if I use them in terms of effect on bowel negativly? I've read that low test can cause inflamation in body so im just wondering if there is going to be any negative issue, otherwise I'd have run them already. Any oppinions? Not asking doctor as know I'll just get a daft answer.

Do you think most people with UC have Low libdo??? My libdo is Zero!

Wouldn't a low libido be caused by certain meds that we're on? I don't know much about this at all. Just curious if that's the case.

I've had it since before I was taking UC meds. (sorry TMI)

^I took NO arginine both, waste of time tbh. Took it for a long while back at the start of the year. When I say pro hormone Idk what it was, was called bad ass mass by alri. Felt it made a difference though ha ha. My livers already fried by the 6-mp so makes no diff.

But was wondering for the question to be answered about jumping on some test?

Waste of time wasting money on silly natural remidies as well, much easier to address the issue straight, im 21 and im not wanting to face the issue of low libido for the rest of my life, so i'll take the risks of using PED's to get results (:

aguywithuc,

BTW, is the L-Arginine Ethyl Ester only for jacking up guys LIBIDO,

does it work for women's libido too?

Im not buying that arginine even increases libido, never did anything for me anyway.

Is there anything that women can do to "get in the mood"? Isn't viagra an option for the men? I saw an ad for some kind of estrogen cream for women but I don't want to use estrogen. Is there anything else?

Thanks for the link Babe. I should see if I can get her book from the library. I would like to get my libido back. I am on minipills so they shouldn't effect the libido as much as ones with estrogen but they are a newer progestin which porbably doesn't help the situation. It's either acne and sex drive or no acne and no sex drive. I guess I would prefer to be acne free. Maybe there is something out there for me. I will have to keep searching. I do feel a little better since getting off the combo birth control pills (2-3 months ago) but not how I was prior to taking birth control in my 20s.

I read somewhere that viagra actually works for women because we all benefit from greater blood flow to mens P or womens C.

"In the study, Nurnberg and his colleagues found that when women being treated with an antidepressant were given Viagra, they were more likely to have orgasms than those on the placebo.

''Seventy-two percent of the women on Viagra vs. 27% of the women on placebo got to 'much improved' or 'very much improved' on a scale [of sexual functioning],'' says Harry A. Croft, MD, medical director of the San Antonio Psychiatric Research Center in Texas and a co-author on the study.

''What Viagra did was increase the orgasm and the time to orgasm," says Croft, noting that orgasm difficulties are common in women on antidepressants. The Viagra also improved the satisfaction of the partner, he says. But ''it didn't increase drive and desire.''

Alternative to Viagra:

Arginine: An amino acid that also enhances blood flow. In a study of 50 men at Tel Aviv University, 31% of those with impotence improved after six weeks of taking arginine. The ones who might benefit from it are men who have circulatory disorders that may be contributing to sexual problems. The suggested dose is 1 gram three times a day; sold as L-arginine.

As with Viagra, you should avoid arginine if you are taking the heart medication nitroglycerin because the combination may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. For the same reason, you should probably not take arginine with Viagra.

My problem isn't achieving O, it is desire. I don't want it like I used to. I miss the desire. I guess at the root, we all have the same problem, we want to desire.

That was just the first thing I read on quick lookup you might look to see if there is more like I read about before that it helps with desire too.

Of course desire, you know I used to think it was just about how hot the girls I was looking at were but a huge part of desire is simply how darn good your feeling yourself. Being chronically inflamed leaves me not feeling terribly desirable nor desirous of a woman's body. Feeling healthy I realize scores of women that did not appeal to me last week look more interesting to me this week :)

So of course eat healthy ( we can count on you ) do a lot of cardio ( but don't overdue it ) and feel good about yourself. Due to my recent change I feel different all over - much better. Hope it lasts forever.

aguywithuc,

Since viagra seems to have helped women too, wouldn't L-Arginine Ester do the same thing?
