I have been on pBAT FOR 15 months with slowly rising highs on T but also slowly rising lows while on low T (ADT Cyclr).
I have no prostate and am hormone sensitive and always have been. My NADIR PSA before starting pBAT was 0.02 while on darolutamide and Orgovyx for 1 year.
Since my recent high T psa is 3.21 and ADT cycle psa is 1.3 i decided to try doing cypionate BAT so after 30 days of low T my psa was 1.3 and now at 30 day mark of high T PSA was back to 3.21 exactly as before. My plan was to do 60 days high T but recent events have changed my plans.
At the 4 week mark of high T I was waking up in abdominal agony and after walking around it would slowly clear up. Finally after 3 nights of this i went to emergency room and got diagnosed with Kidney stones and started having gout in foot.
A great book to read on Uric Acid is “drop acid” by Perlmutter David.
So during my abdominal CT without contrast found enumerable highly suspicious bone leasions in ribs, pelvic and spine.
Now this is enough to freak me out so I notified my OC and have PSMA PET scan next Monday.
From what i have been reading is that high uric acid buildup can cause calcified bone deposits that would look like bone lesions on this CT w/out contrast. Also high uric acid buildup in body can also be caused by dead cells.
I am trying to be optimistic and realistic at the same time.
i decided to shut it down now after 30 days. Today would have been my third cypionate shot at day 28. My T is probably around 1,100 and will take a few more weeks to clear.
Yesterday’s PSA was 6.36
The good news is i believe I can go back to Daro and Orgo till NADIR again or close to it the start the cypionate BAT back up.
