Im looking for some help troubleshooting my symptoms and adjusting my TRT regimen based over the past year
Feb 2016 – October 2016 , For about 8 months I was taking Clomid and AI:
Monday, Wed, Fri. Clomid .25mg
Tue, Thur. Anastrazole .5mg
Levels were
Test total- 576
Test Free- 108
Test free % 1.9
Sex hormone binding- 35
E2 sensitive- 39
With this regimen initially I had a great response to and my Test Tot levels were in the mid 700’s but they began dropping off after a few months and my energy began declining.
My symptoms:
I felt great, lots of energy, slight anxiety. Urinating about 4-5 time each night, and no interest in sex, and I slept a lot but felt refreshed afterwards.
---------------------------------------
Nov 2016 – Jan 2017,
Mon, Thurs. .4 mg Test Cyp
Mon, Thurs . 25mg Anastrozole
Mon, Thurs 500 iu HCG
Levels were
Test total- 892
Test Free- 207
Test free % 2.3
Sex hormone binding- 26
E2 sensitive- 59.8
Also my hemoglobin and RBC were slightly high and I had to give blood.
My symptoms:
I had less energy, immediately gained 12 lbs, swelling all over, had to quit wearing my ring due to the swelling, Nightly when I would wake at 3am I couldn’t bend any of my fingers due to the swelling, constant arm numbness and tingling, water retention, no urination at night, not sleeping well at night, joint swelling to where I had to begin wearing compression braces to be able to bend and use my knees.
-------------------------------------------
Feb – Current
In an attempt to reduce the amount of swelling, and frequent of injections I changed my regimen to
Mon .8mg Test Cyp
Mon . 500 iu HCG
Mon, Wed, Fri .25mg Anastrazole
I am awaiting blood results. However, my swelling has slightly decreased,I have lost about 5 lbs, occasional night sweats, Urinate 1 time nightly, occasional insomnia, my libido is through the roof, but the worse problem is my knees are killing me. Frequent Mild to severe pain from my knees, my shoulders also ache now.
My body composition is about 25%bf, 230lbs @5',10", 7 kids and I run a business, on Clomid I was working out but not seeing the results. Doc suggested getting my Test levels to 1200+ but I feel tired and am not working out. Lots of pain
Suggestions?
