I get muscle twitching in my legs but my SHBG is in the 20's.
Strange, I wonder if the connection is actually low SHBG/low bioavailable T? I had the muscle twitching after my natural T started plummeting, then when muscles were completely wasted it stopped. It began again once I started TRT and is continuing, but the frequency is starting to slow. I'm not deficient is anything.
I have low SHBG (fluctuate between single digits and low teens) my main symptom is basically next to no response to TRT overall. I am on a state of the art protocol with a great doctor and yet I feel like I did with Low T. Low to no libido along with an inability to gain muscle or loose fat. I would also take a nap every day if not for having to work.
My symptoms are the same (my SHBG is 8-9 pre TRT) also i have constant brain fog, low energy and overall low T related symptoms, plus receding hairline since 18 yrs old (now i am 25) and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as hemorrhoids.
I'm so sorry. My friend ERO, who is subscribed to this thread, has used very similar words to describe his TRT experience.I am off TRT at the moment, before i have tried all types of protocols daily, E3D, weekly, with different esters, AIs, but all feel like injecting water.
Yes i know, i have read probably all low shbg related posts out there on the internet Hopefully one of us will find the cure one day and share it with the others on these boards.
Yep all kinds of tests through the last 3-4 years, all normal except T and SHBG and few small imbalances.
do you take any supps/meds? try to minimize it to trt only if possible and it might start working.I am almost 6 years into TRT and I am thinking about stopping if I could get my HPTA axis to restart. I have very low SHBG and TRT does indeed feel like I am injecting water - as does HCG, and topical T feels like I am applying lotion. Thyroid meds seem to have no effect either.
I literally have no idea what injecting Test feels like because I have never felt anything. My life consists of low to no libido, seriously sh*tty recovery from exercise and a strong desire to take a nap every day after lunch even though I am otherwise healthy. Not obese, not diabetic, not depressed, no sleep apnea. Just tired of TRT doing next to nothing.
