Re: Re: To sensitive to the ingrediants in TRT Injections

[Guest guest]

I am Hypothyroid/Hashimoto's,Hypoadrenal.  4 grains of Naturethroid, 25mg HC

daily.

Various vitamins and minerals. I did TRT injections 10 years ago and did not

have these kind of reactions.   Not sure what to make of it.  Started the

gels.  How long does it take to really feel something on the gels?

Frustrated.

If you're truly allergic to something, you really shouldn't take it at all.

Benadryl will just mask a symptom that could become even more serious with

continued exposure.

Has your thyroid been checked out? If hypothyroid, skin can be thick and not

absorb gels well.

I am thinking Pellets might work if he can find a Dr. that does them.

Or try calling Compounding Pharmacy and ask them for the name of a Dr. that buys

pellets from them.

What kind of gel Androgel fast in a week if it works but most Dr.'s start men on

a low dose 5 grams this might not be enough if you feel better then fall back by

2 weeks call him you need more.
