[QUOTE="eyeheartny, post: 167375, member: 18882"] I understand what you’re saying. At the same time, I’ve done my work in therapy and know the difference between what’s in my head and what’s quantifiable. TRT has not been an area that has made me anxious in the past, and I’ve been on for the better part of a decade. The issues that drove me to adjust my protocol (which was test only, so not even much of a protocol) were not because of perceived issues or stuff that was anxiety driven. Also, I have had major personal health issues that are actually anxiety producing, including cancer. All this is to say that I know my body pretty well and know what anxiety is like when it’s justified/real and when it’s in my head. Whatever is going on right now is not in my head. While I readily acknowledge that I am anxious right now, it’s because something is way off, and I am thoroughly unsettled by it. My sleep tracking data bears this out—in multiple domains my recovery status is getting worse by the day, with sleep quality and quantity at a multi-month low point in addition to much poorer HRV (an objective measure that tracks well with my subjective experience), elevated RHR, etc. I’m feeling horrible and am seeing objective data that supports this. I have not been an anxious person around my TRT and have much to enjoy around the holidays right now. Other than feeling physically awful, life is good. But the way I’m feeling is absolutely limiting that enjoyment as I’m feeling miserable. The other key question is what the bloodwork may or may not show. If there's something about how nandrolone affects my mineralocorticoid receptors and increases cortisol and aldosterone, the labs I just ordered won't show that as I didn't do a 24-hour saliva test or an ACTH challenge test. I did a CBC, CMP, estradiol sensitive, TT/FT, and SHBG. Unless there's something grossly off there, my bloodwork may not show anything that accounts for what I'm feeling. So my genuine question is this—what would you do if you were in my shoes? Stay on a protocol that’s having you feel like you might have a heart attack and getting no good sleep? I’m asking for real as I am just lost right now. [/QUOTE]
