I began TRT about two months ago. I am a 69 year old male who had a prostatectomy due to prostate cancer in May of this year.
My doc started me on weekly injections of 200mg for six weeks. Prior to treatment my level was 180. After the 6 weeks, it was 1500.
He then set me up on 200 every 2 weeks. 10 days after the initial 2 week injection I crashed, mentally and physically. I spoke with the docs nurse and she basically said my body would adjust and I would have to "deal with it" until it does.
Four days after that i received my injection and felt great by the next day. Again, its been 10 days after that shot and this morning i feel like i have run out of gas.
What i would like to know is, is this normal? Do i just need to deal with it for the next 4 injections (8 weeks) until I have blood work done and have my regular, scheduled appointment with my Dr?
I checked this morning and he has no open appointments until after my scheduled appointment.
Any suggestions or comments on this would be appreciated. I love the effects of the TRT and have felt better, when its working, than I have in years.
I look forward to hearing from someone.
