[QUOTE="lemonflavor, post: 131841, member: 37517"] 54 year old male. I'm going to contact Defy, but I'm a little freaked out and wonder if anyone else has been here. I'll try to make it short: I'm on TRT for the second time around. I deal with chronic mental health issues and chronic pain which came about well before low T. First time around I felt so overstimulated I couldn't stand it and had to quit. Doctor was typical--only looking at Total T, but I did ask for estradiol once beforehand. This time around I started out at around 20mg, injecting 3x a week. Then after around 4-5 days I felt OK and worked up to 90mg per week in five weeks. Doc took only Total T and I was at 800. Then after about two weeks of that I got uncomfortable again and went back down to 70mg. Everything went backwards somewhat. (I realize there's often a honeymoon period.) Now I've got all sorts of wonky stuff going on. I don't like to blame everything on low or high e2 like so many on the boards do, but this is hard to ignore. Could I possibly have high estrogen being at this low of a dose? Side effects: [LIST] [*]Shoulders are killing me. Not unusual for them to hurt, but mobility is very restricted unlike ever before. [*]Less interest in hobbies in last few weeks. [*]Possibly sensitive nipples, but I don't usually check that, and I don't like being touched there anyway. [*]I had two pimples on my forehead. I normally only get a single one maybe once a year. Just today I looked at my back and there are red spots all over it. I can't tell if it's acne or what's going on. It's not like I have whiteheads or anything like when I was young. [/LIST] Conversely, my workouts got even better after I lowered the dose. I respond well to weight training and that got better right away. But then it went up another notch after [I]lowering[/I] the dose. When it comes to other areas of health, I call myself 'the 5%' because I'm always that one who's so sensitive, or gets the unusual side effects, or something happens that a doc has never seen before. It seems to be happening here too. I wanted to see if this would work out (speaking of) with the regular doc because of finances, but I'm practically forced to spend money on Defy now. Any comments while I wait to get in? [/QUOTE]
