  • Androcur is expensive but extremely effective. The general advice is you only need to take a quarter of a standard 50mg tablet per day instead of a whole tablet, but I found that once my T levels were suppressed, I could maintain an undetectable T level with only 12.5mg of Androcur per week. The 1mg of cypro in Climen might be enough for you to maintain low T levels, you’d just need to try and find out, but I would highly recommend taking Androcur for at least the first 3-6 months since that’s when most breast growth occurs and so has the highest chance to be impeded by high T levels.













  • It seems like the Imgur album only has a photo of the back of the board. I think HVS004 might be the wrong number, can you take a close up photo of the chip (and surrounding circuitry) with a flash for a clearer view?

    It’s also weird that a bug could have fried itself across a chip that only runs off a few volts. “Bug zappers” usually use at least a few kV. Maybe that IC runs off the 33v line or it was a particularly wet bug, but I suspect that might not be your issue.


  • I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out! My best friend was in a very similar boat as you last year, had all the symptoms but their GP referred them to a crappy assessor who took the word of their parents over their own symptoms. They were told they “probably just have anxiety”. They were able to find an NP who diagnosed them, and now sees a psychiatrist regularly for med updates.

    This was in the USA, which has the absolute most broken medical system in the world, so if they could figure it out I’m positive you can too :)


  • The whole idea of a “family informant” is so absolutely bogus and outdated. Why would YOU getting a diagnosis be dependent on what some other non-medical professional says? It’s an utterly broken system.

    I don’t know what country you’re in, but try and find a nurse practitioner who specializes in ADHD. Use Google and other “find a doctor” search tools. They can diagnose you using a more updated criteria that DOESN’T involve your family.


  • It shouldn’t cause issues, since the water will remain in the heater without any pressure to push it out, there’s no difference between leaving it sitting with the valve open or closed.

    Now, draining the tank could actually cause problems… But there’s not any reason for you to do that for what you’re trying to accomplish.
