[QUOTE="Kennyyoli, post: 194530, member: 41038"] OK 6 months update. Wow.... The water weight I gained never went away. I have stayed the same weight for the entire time. I think I gradually lost the water, and put on muscle. But I haven't had a dexa scan or anything to confirm that. I am on the same protocol, and my last bloodwork had my T at 588. After the first few months of what I would call a rollercoaster, things really leveled back out physiologically. I had a few weeks of my heart racing at night, my pulse was higher than normal for awhile, even while training. My hematocrit numbers went up, then back down. I am low carb, and my fasting glucose numbers started creeping up, even when I had no change in diet. Then finally, around late October, it was like things got back to my new normal. Blood sugar normalized. My pulse/resting heart rate went back to what I consider normal ranges. My sleep has improved, my libido is strong, I feel great. I am so glad I stuck it out. I was just about to throw in the towel, due to all the fluctuations in blood sugar,sleep, heart rate, etc.. but my doctor encouraged me to just stay the course, that eventually I would adjust and feel great. I am so happy that I listened. My new normal is exactly what I had hoped for when I started TRT. For anyone reading this that is in a similar stage or condition, I would encourage you to give your body time to adjust. This is definitely a long game. But very much worth it. [/QUOTE]
