you can be on TRT and still get sick

February 28, 2008

Some of you may remember this story but I will endulge for those unfamiliar with

it.

I started injections with my new doctor about 2 years ago. I was taking 2cc

monthly. It was working to a point. Some months were ok but most months were

accompanied with vomiting and unusual headaches.

The vomiting was random but the headaches were predictable. One Alieve would

take care of the headache but the vomiting.... I was getting tired of it.

Especially that time I was buckeled in my truck at the ATM machine. Couldn't

open the door, couldn't get my head out of the window.

Here I was on my TRT and I was getting sick too frequently. What was going on

here?

Then I read a piece by Dr. that rocked my world. So I copied it as well

as the AACE guidelines and showed it to my doctor. It convinced him too.

When taking monthly shots, I was aromatizing so much of my injection, that is

converting it from testosterone to estradiol, it had me all screwed up and I

didn't know it.

Weekly shots were the ticket for me. No more vomiting, no more getting sick.

But it is an example of how you can be on TRT improperly and it can make you

sick.
