Everybody is different, I agree that the recommended range for testosterone is just a recommendation. What I could find is the following: 270-1070 ng/dL with an average level of 679 ng/dL

If your body normally runs on 850 ng/dL and as a result of a heat trauma your tested at 400 ng/dL your going to notice a big change.

I noticed an improvement to symptoms when I started taking cannabis. Some strains are known for making your libido increase, I can attest to that as some made me incredibly horny, the one I'm on now moderately - kind of like before my accident.

Its funny two similar outcomes with two different approaches.

Michael,

Could you give us some more details on your experience with this treatment? In particular, is the sensitivity gone completely? Have any other symptoms improved? Have you had any side effects from the treatment?

I have been on Clomid for 4 weeks (accidentally said 5 earlier). The sensitivity has not completely gone away, but significant improvement has been made. I used to notice little bumps in a car, but I do not anymore. I am able to walk at a normal pace now without tip toeing. I do not notice concussion symptoms after these activities anymore. Because the body takes a while to react to hormones, I suspect that it will take around 6 months to feel 90% my old self.

Unfortunately, Clomid seems to cause side effects that could negate the benefits of raising testosterone. I would like to transition to testosterone injections with hCG to preserve fertility; it seems like the combo produces less side effects. Also, around the time I started Clomid I had a gadolinium contrast MRI, which gave me debilitating foggy head to this day, so it is hard for me to accurately judge cognitive symptoms.

Clomid can also have an adverse effect on libido, and another SERM, Tamoxifen, has been shown to be neurotoxic, so from my current research, injections + hCG looks to be the best.

I noticed when I took CBD oil my libido increased like 200%!
