Cottonseed
Thanks Hrdlvn
Not true. Most men have no clue what’s SHBG is. Plenty of guys do daily dosing to work around low shbg. The scrotal cream works really well and shbg isn’t as big an issues becusse of the way it absorbs vs an injectable.
You need a legitimate doc you can trust.
Go to workdlinkmedical.com and they have a directory of docs trained by dr Rouzier. Some better than others, but they all have the same training.
My doc is Keith Nichols. He’s in Chattanooga. I can refer you to him, but you have to fly and see him once. If in Cali he can do telemedicine. You need a doc like this.
Checkout lifting dermatologist on YouTube and watch his videos.
Your body should respond well to trt. You are a man. Man needs testostorone to live healthy and positive. It might jsut be a matter of time till the body is used to the new hormones. Or your dose is to high or to low. This is why I will suggest you find a doc that can make these decisions for you.
I suggest you use my doc or any from the database above. Don’t get stuck with someone who is trying to keep you in a specific range. You want to dose until your symptoms disappear. Vanish. Gone.
The sweet tea was a mistake. It sounds like maybe you are getting a dopamine or epinephrine rush in response to the dose.Your brain is getting a flood of test and everything just kind of erupts from there. Could be a reaction to the oil, but has this happened before with the same oil, or is it a new phenomenon? The tea has caffeine and sugar, so stimulant on top of what you have going on. A heavy chunk of carbs would be better, preferably not greasy, and see what happens.
Many complain about reactions to cottonseed. Grapeseed is what most like the best. It is also the thinest so it can be injected witha 27ga syringe with easy. See if your doc will specify grapeseed oil.
You might consider talking with defy they understand these things quite well and would have no issues swapping your carrier oil. I have only ever used grapeseed from Defy/Empower and love it.
I also suffer from anxiety and that is one living hell one has to experience to really understand the hell our minds can put us thru. I grew up being afraid of nothing until one day my own mind turned on me. ((( God Dam-it ))) Just know you are not the only one many of us suffer with you.

About how long does it take for levels to increase. I know everyone is different but do total testosterone numbers increase after first shot? Or does it take weeks to start climbing.
They increase immediately for the short term, it takes a few weeks to stabilize.
The T we inject is in a carrier oil and this oil is designed to slowly release the suspended T. Pretty much as soon as the T is released it will hit your blood and be cleved. Broken down so your body can use us it. T cyp which is what most in the US take will slowly release over about 7-8 days. So it is very slow releasing. Knowing that should help you in that a lot of your anxiety is more in your head than from the T you injected. T is not like a drug you get high with. You don’t inject it and 20 minutes later you are stoned to the max. It takes weeks before you really notice its effects.

Simple math problems you used to have no trouble with… you draw a blank as to how to solve or approach the problem.
Well 2 weeks in 10mg day and nothing different yet. Still have that Extreme anxiety light sensitive sound sensitive and ear ringing. Ear fullness. Went to cardiologist today for my 2 year follow up and EKG is great. He listened to heart and did other tests on carotid arteries and legs. Said all looked good. Blood pressure was 120/77 when i left. Hes worried about Cholesterol. And wants me back on statin.
Forgot to add i did stop trt for about 10 days no change in the adrenalin feeling. Only thing i can think is i started a vitamin regimen about 3 weeks prior to these feelings. I went to bed one night and woke up in a panic from a loud noise of a glass breaking that wife dropped 2 hours later. Woke up in a weird panic and all the symptoms above. Stopped vitamins about 3 weeks ago
So it made you prophetic?
None of this sounds sex hormone related. You’ve got something else going on.
You might want to talk to a good therapist.
Statins suck. Stop eating all omega 6 oils or things cooked in omega 6 oil and start taking 3000-4000 Omega 3 fish oil every morning. 120mg CoQ10 and 5000 D3 give it 3 months and get your A1C and Cholesterol retested. This worked for me.

Lol. Sorry miss typed. Meant went to bed fine and woke up 2 hours later when glass was dropped.
Yea. Cardiologist just looked at me also. I already know the feedback ill get is see a shrink. Im not doing it and wont go on psych meds ever. Ill make a appt with Neurologist and just go from there.
The therapist I went to for 6 months To help me with depression and panic attacks did not use drugs. We talked about self-talk and traumatic events I had in my past then she taught me how to talk to myself, how to get myself out of negative selftalk feedback loops, how to kind of change the channel in my mind and son of a bitch if it did not work.
3 weeks in. Something may be changing slightly. Sleeping pretty good, and have struggled with sleep whole adult life. Today woke up a little better with the anxiety feeling subsiding considerably. Not perfect but better and best its been in 6 weeks. Slightly itchy upper extremities. Little more energy and slightly better mental clarity. Woke up in middle of night with Wood. Been a long time.

So i have my 8 week follow up with urologist and just for the heck of it i self tested ulta labs just total test. Came back 325 from 177 initial. I know all he is going to test is total and psa and maybe H/H. I just did this as i am not telling him im doing subQ 10mg daily to start he thinks im doing 200mg weekly 1 shot. Im not financially ready to go to defy but maybe eventually. I know i need alot more tests but wont be able to for a month or so. I know he will be suspect if i go on July 21 and total comes back in 300’s. Im thinking of going to 16 mg daily. And see where that gets me. Any suggestions for urologist bloodwork?
Your doctor is going to suspect something is up, just tell him you’re trying a daily protocol. Be straight up with him, tell him you’re heard from many other low SHBG men that daily is best to avoid excess T and E2 do to low SHBG and if he doesn’t like it, bummer in the summer.
It doesn’t seem like you are getting good numbers on SQ, I see higher levels on 10mg IM daily and lower T numbers on SQ. You will not need high normal Total T levels to see optimal Free T levels, probably a Total T 500-600 should do nicely.
