Long time browser, now finally decided to make an account. The reason for this comes down to this post.
I feel like Im on the edge of making a big decision and could use some intelligent insight from you guys.
Suffering from a mild case of cardiomyopathy, in my early 30’s, working out the same way I did in my teens before I was diagnosed. The reason I call it a mild case is because I don’t notice my illness on a day to day basis physically. The only real time I notice anything of it is when my life is chaotic or intensly stressfull which is when my body shuts down completly.
Ironically I’ve had some of my best gym-years after I was diagnosed with the illness, with many big PRs in the big 3. Which I think just goes to show my current condition.
When Im at my best i can hit a 350lb bench PR and when Im at my worst im bedridden entirely, cant even walk on the beach/forest or even consider walking stairs.
The problem though and the reason for this post is that due to some of the meds they’ve put me on and the fact that I am still ill, I’ve lost a big chunk of my private and daily life.
My sexdrive & libido is pretty much gone which has strongly affected my relationship with my lady. Gone from being with each other once a day to maybe once a month at best and thats not because she doesnt want to, she tries to get with me, still, multiple times a week. I just cant make it to the occation due to not feeling it. Its like my brain and scrotum have been deattached.
I can sense how my personality just during the last year has changed a lot,I used to be a very lighthearted (no pun intended) guy, easy going and quick to make conversation. Now I find myself mostly blank staring during conversation. Many of my friends and family have commented on it. I try to make efforts reaching out to people but find it hard to maintain, I dont have that ‘edge’ in my life anymore.
Depression & fatigue comes and goes regularly and are now a permanent thing in my life which I have accepted and try to work around as best I can.
Originally I was tested for TRT by my docs, but ranking in the low pars, still above the scale I was not qualified, instead they put me on viagra and told me to hope for the best. Which was just shit and does not make up for anything.
So I’ve decided to make an attempt on TRT without them to regain some quality in my life.
Im currently on 3 diffrent meds being; metropolol (betablocker), Warfarin (bloodthinning) and Ramipril.
The warfarin, bloodthinner, being the only thing Im worried about. I’ve read that you can adjust your doses accordingly to make up for what the Test does to your bloodflow. Im wondering how fast it reacts though? And what are the chances of internal bleedings?
I’d be lying if I didnt say it scares me a bit.
Im considering 200-250g mg Test E e5d.
I could really use some insight or even thoughts from an outisde perspective on my situation. Pro’s, con’s, good or bad. Anything and everything goes.
Thanks,
Fronk.
