Once I am asleep I normally sleep ok, but wake way too early in the morn, after roughly 4-5 hrs of sleep. I am completely exhausted but can’t sleep. has anyone fixed this by lowering does? Things were good for the first 5 months of TRT but now this issue is going to break me. My doc is a...

it does, thanks. Still looking fir the answer to my original cortisol question. doc next month so I can ask then, but I was going to tap the wealth of knowledge here as well.

I have been a bad sleeper my entire life, but it has become a significant problem after a few months on TRT. I find myself exhausted all day then “wired but tired” at night. It takes me a few hrs to go to sleep. Once I am asleep I normally sleep ok, but wake way too early in the morn, after...

I have never done the preload thing, but I think that’s how I need to go. No Hcg so I am not worried about the cooling. How long are preloaded syringes good for? Would 6 days be too much?

I have been injecting 60mg every 3.5 days for 7 months now. Results are good, but having some minor HCT, Estrogen, and emotional/energy fluctuation issues. Although I can’t pin point them to my injection schedule, I am considering going to 3x a week or Even EOD injections. I travel for a...

I appreciate the response. I do rely on whole food most of the time. Eggs were a main staple of mine (when I am home). I travel for a living so eating 2.2lbs of meat isn’t happening. There has to be some supplementation of some kind.

oh yes it’s not a diagnosis. I don’t have an autoimmune condition just symptoms that mimic that. Docs at first thought that was what I had. I was tested for all kind of stuff that all came back neg. that the reasoning for looking at other options like food intake And allergy.

I have yet to actually get a food panel test done. That is next week. Very interest to see what the results of it are

I have developed some crazy autoimmune like conditions. fatigue, bloating, headaches, etc. I have had many medical test done and the docs can’t seem to find anything. One doc said maybe delayed food allergy, try cutting out eggs, whey, and gluten and see. Just a theory, but I’ll give it a...

avid lifter and fitness guy here. I have developed some problems that the doc think may be related to my diet. I have been eating a bodybuilder diet for the last 18 years, with a lot of my protein consumption revolving around whey protein and eggs. I am going to try to eliminate these from my...

Does TRT have any affect on Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone? Kind of an obscure question, I know. I have a chronic illness that the doc is trying to help me navigate and cure. I won’t bore you with long details, but there was concern that my MSH was very low. Being a hormone derived from the...

i do have some beers, but not more than normal or mire than a few a week. I’ll lay-off them and weights for a little bit and see. Thanks for the input.

probably right. I am only a 4 months in. I am just surprised that I didn’t have this for the first 3 months and Out of nowhere it started. I’ll keep the course and press on. Thanks.

funny thing is I am taking it easier than I was pre-Trt! But I hear you and I’ll ride this out

great info. Using your math, I need to double my E2. Never read or heard of anyone trying to increase estrogen. Any ideas? have never taken an AI

interesting. When I first got on Trt I struggled with high HCT. maybe that’s the case again. I agree with that feeling. It feels like I lifted wayyy too heavy, but I am not lifting heavy at all! I go in for bloods in a few weeks and will pay attention to HCT. Thanks for the input.

no AI which is what baffles me

no no Ai here. I was naturally 25 with test around 600 at trough

Relative newbie getting this thing dialed in. I have worked through a number of issues with help of this board (much thanks!!!). I am stronger and more sexually active than I have ever been, enjoying life finally. My newest problem is sore joints. Specifically elbows and wrists. I have never...

Man your physique is solid. You do have a big chest but I would wager that is genetics. Most men would kill for your look, pecs included.

You been checked for sleep apnea? I used to get them when pre CPAP therap. when I was in the state where I wasn’t asleep but not quite awake I would get them.

no booze. I drink water pretty consistently throughout the day. I am going to up it significantly and see what my next blood draw brings.

yes I am about 2 months in. Still getting used to this.

Only five hrs a day for food! I wish i could do that. I would end up eating my arm off.

Throw me in the non-obese, non-snorer, in-shape but still have sleep apnea category.

Must be, thanks for the words. You are quite the wealth of knowledge on this board!

Huh, interesting. Don’t know why I didn’t have a problem pre TRT?

perhaps. Does trt increase it that much? My pre trt prolactin level was 9.6 (4.0-15.6)

Kind of weird question, I know. Since starting trt I feel awful after orgasm. Tired, brain fog, lethargic, etc. I never had this problem in the past. It will literally ruin the remaining day. What the heck!?

I have a decent enough basement gym. up to 70lb dumbells, 45lb weighted vest, bench, pull-up bar, a few kettlebells, 455lb tractor tire, 2” battle ropes, sledgehammer, etc. it has been different, no doubt, but I have pieced a routine together that will wip my ass. have to get creative man!
