Re: To sensitive to the ingrediants in TRT Injections

[Guest guest]

Not trying to give advice but if that was me I would consider taking a benadryl

just prior to the injection.Again that is just me and I'm not qualified to give

medical advice.

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.

When you got it compounded with sesame oil, that was the only filler?

Discomfort is probably common, but a fever? Makes it sound like your TRT is

bad. Is this a reputable pharmacy? Do you tend to be allergic to everything?

Is your thyroid optimized? Your dose is not based on TSH, I hope. Hands/feet

not cold, have full eyebrows, smooth heels, pulse in the 70s?
