Unfortunately, they’re non-existent. After TRT things seem to have gotten better after I take my injection but a week after I’m “down” again.
I guess what I’m looking for here is advice as to whether or not being overweight causes me to eat up the testosterone I’ve been injecting. I’ve started down this road within the last 2 weeks and I can already tell things are getting better but I need to lose more weight before things will be alot better. Also, I’m cold, ALL the time, my hands are very cold to the point it hurts to type and my furnace is set to 70. I saw that in KSMan’s lab tests thread and I wanted to know if others had any idea what the tie-in there was?
Overall, I’ve got the dosing regimen where I could easily just change my injection schedule to twice a week but I don’t want to end up going into my Dr… have him see my T levels are higher and end up getting my dosage cut. Not sure where to go from here I guess, any advice/support that anybody would have would be greatly appreciated. I respect the folks on these boards, been reading off and on for awhile and there’s always solid advice. Guess I just finally got it through my head that I should start heeding it.
