Hello All,
As stated, I'm 41 years old and have been reading though the forums for a couple weeks or so. I stopped into a trt clinic yesterday to get a free tt screening. They called back and told me today that my tt was 340. We set consultation appointment for next week.
Reason for considering trt:
Anxiety (I've had it for most of my life)
Low energy
Obese (most of my life)
Depression
Concentration
Focus
High blood pressure
Low motivation
Constant worrying
A.d.d
Binge drinking and eating
Most of these symptoms I've had as far back as I can remember. In my late 20s I finally saw a Dr about my anxiety/worrying (which they said was depression, but I never really thought I was depressed. I would have really bad irratability.) Anyway, they prescribed me an ssri and I've been riding the wave ever since. Over the years I've probably been on 5 or 6 different anxiety/depression meds. Around 2009 I found a website called marks daily apple and over the years I have yo yod probably 200lbs on a primal/keto diet. I'm currently 6' 285lbs. I hadnt been to a gym since I was 23 until about 2 years ago i started lifting again. I currently havnt been lifting since June or eating right for that matter. It seems like I can go good for about 3 to 4 months and then I fall off the wagon. A year ago I was @240lbs as a reference.
My questions:
What could I expect from trt?
How to tell if the trt clinic is a good one?
Should I tell my general practioner?
Has anyone had help from trt with my symptoms?
Obviously, with the anxiety and worrying issues I'm a little concerned about taking 2-3 shots per week forever.
I'll quit rambling, any thoughts are welcome
Thanks
