Weight Loss

lol jb1994 yeah it sucks.

My whole life I was within a healthy weight range.

Along comes Lyme and I gain 45 pounds within months.

Then the last 2 years I lost exactly those 45 pounds again by addressing hormones.

Now I'm back to where I was.

I did it with Thyroid + Testosterone replacement.

The latter I feel isn't spoken enough about in the Lyme community in my experience.

I still have to be ridiculously careful. My body is just waiting to gain on Lyme.

Hey UnsightlyCygnet🌠, I'm sorry to hear that
I did a lot of research into pine pollen a while ago, I also read Buhner's book on it.
However, I personally was not convinced that it would do much in terms of testosterone.
Also, just so you know, roid rage is actually a myth, which was was confirmed through a study by NEJM.
If anything, a lot of anabolic steroids can actually make users more emotional, due to aromatization (which causes high estrogen).
Sometimes steroids can however attract a certain "type" of person, "jackasses" for a lack of a better word.
This relatively small subset of steroid users already have anger issues to begin with.
The steroids don't actually cause this. The stereotypical ones are jackasses to begin with.

WBF - darn that is small! You must have a small bone structure. I have a medium bone structure (ugh) so I'd look unwell at that size, but I have been. I'm only a couple inches taller than you though. You make me feel fat ****

Rainy - same, I gained fifty pounds in a year before I got diagnosed with Lyme
