I appreciate you being so specific and I appreciate your help. I guess what I’m trying to say is that even though my program seemed to be very casual and not scientific, it was always like that for years and I never had an issue. I started off at 50mg per week split shots and my test levels and hemocrit were high and even at 100mg per week and higher sometimes and my hemocrit never exceeded that low 50 range and all my other levels were in the range I stated above…. Again…. NEVER a problem regardless.
I THINK around the time I changed testosterone brands I started to get that itching. Over the course over several months while still taking that other brand I tried donating, super low dose, AI, iron and lots of other stuff - even allergy and blood doctors. I stopped for 6 weeks and it took every bit of those 6 weeks for the itching to go away but it did go away.
After 6 weeks I got a new pharma brand and tried a very low dose of test amd BAM!!!!! was itching within 3 days. Waiting a week and tried a different brand again and super low dose and BAM still itching and maybe worse.
For the past YEAR that I have been dealing with this I have been trying ti retrace my steps about when the itching started, what I did differently and when. I knew I changed brands but wasn’t sure when. I thought insulate my natural balance with the blood donation or just developed a new allergy. Once I called I talked to the doctor and the pharmacy and found that ALL Cyp was suspended in cottonseed I was very upset and discouraged. But then I spoke to the compounding pharmacist and then told me the last time I ordered from them seemed to align with when my itching started and he explained the different preservatives that are INSIDE the cottonseed oil I started to have some hope that I have this figured out.
So here I am….1 week into a new test start after a 6 week break and I’m itching. Obviously I’m stopped. I called my new doc and got the script from the compounding pharmacy that I used to use without issue. I just didn’t know if I should stop for another 6 weeks and then try again? Just stop till the itching stops? Pharmacist said to just give it a week but I’m scared it won’t be a true test if I’m still itching.
