I had tried axiron in the very beginning after 2 days of my 1st application I had extreme muscle spasms in my legs I attributed to my sciatic injury, no water retention was seen, no swelling at all. In reality the shorter the half life, the faster the onset of symptoms, the worse the adema.
Now if I went with nebido and needed to make a course correction, do to the half-life I wouldn't be able to avert disaster. My thinking is the edema increase pressure inside my head and that raises blood pressure and causes tinnitus.
During these 1st 6 weeks of a dosage change I noticed my body's extremely sensitive to medications do to the fluctuations and once I reach 6 weeks things calm down and become stable. So if I can make it 6 weeks I think the coast is clear.
I think another piece to the puzzle is the more iron deficient I am, the more Test I need to get my maintain current levels. A dosage of 20ng EOD got me TT 496 aFT 20.8 and do to becoming more iron deficient, T decrease to TT 406, FT to 16.0.
During iron labs today and will start supplementing and my thinking is I may need less Test to get mid normal levels. Knowing me I'll probably hyper respond to iron supplements.
Does supplementing iron cause labs to be scued?
