please bear with me here, for i have dealt with this for far too long, and i am in desperate need for help.
First off, I am 19 years old. I am 6’0 with a very athletic build (nobody would ever assume that i have testosterone problems or high blood pressure). I have been on blood pressure medications ever since i was 14 years old… When i was prescribed lisinopril, i had less than 10% body fat. I played basketball, baseball, and football at the time.
I matured very young for my age. Body hair started growing when i was very young, and I had an abnormally high sex drive when i was 12 years old. I was standing to full attention pretty much all day (sorry for the info). However, something happened when i was 16 years old, and i have no idea why. I was with a very beautiful girl who was a little older than me, and we started fooling around but i was unable to get erect. I assumed it was nerves, so i shrugged it off. However, I started noticing that my morning erections had disappeared and the random erections i used to have were no longer there. So i went to the doctor who said my problems were my blood pressure (even though my blood pressure was under control). i pleaded with him to check my testosterone, and my levels were 340 ng. I was 16!! These levels were taken at 11 AM.
He was concerned with my levels since i was so young, so he sent me to a endocrinologist who ran further testing with my LH, FSH, Prolactin, Thyroid, and Free and Total T. Everything was absolutely perfect, except my testosterone was 306. He said this was abnormal and prescribed me 5g Androgel immediately.
WOW! Within 3 days, my sex drive was amazing. My mood was fantastic. My erections were stiff as a board. Blood test in two weeks revealed my testosterone was at 600. However, in about another month, my symptoms returned. The doctor said i must have a psychological problem, yet a blood test revealed that my testosterone was at 280!! He bumped me up to 10 g a day and had me retest in 3 months. This time he checked my testosterone and LH, FSH, Thyroid, and Prolactin. All were great except my testosterone was down to around mid 300’s and my LH and FSH was bottomed out (Which is expected).
He agreed to prescribe TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE at a dosage of 100 mg per week. I FELT FANTASTIC… MY erections felt like i was 12 again. He also prescribed Bystolic (a beta blocker with very low occurrences of sexual side effects due to my high pulse rate). For 6 weeks, I felt amazing…BETTER THAN EVER… I had bloodwork a month later that revealed my testosterone was in the mid 500s (the day of my next injection). THEN FOR SOME F***ing reason, all went downhill. I assumed it was estrogen related, but I had NO estrogen side effects. I had further tests done to determine the cause of my problem… My testosterone was 250!! this was 5 days after my injection… I feel absolutely terrible, and the doctor has no explanation for my low levels since just 6 weeks before that, my testosterone was double… Nothing changed in my protocol.
From day 1 of my injections, I injected 1/2 ml of test cypionate into my vastus laterals (however you spell it) with a 1 inch needle… So I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHY THE SHOTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING…
