[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 129852, member: 15832"] As many of you already know I've been having problems with elevated bilirubin levels, yellowing skin, eyes, burning, itching skin which are symptoms of liver problems as I move to protocols that keep my testosterone levels more stable and this seems to be where these symptoms are experienced, an EOD protocol produces the same symptoms, only the severity is much less and almost but not completely resolves after 6 weeks. An everyday protocol seems to be where these symptoms become so bad that it resembles someone with liver problems, only multiple liver function tests show a healthy liver, low WBC, CBC midrange and clotting factors ideal. A daily protocol up until the point where these symptoms occur, for a time I feel fantastic, never slept better in my life, energy is amazing and I notice after 45 minutes of exhaustive bench pressing and walking 1 hour on the treadmill, my skin is not sweating at all and skin is burning and super dry. Then days later I become so fatigued I barely have energy to sit upright, then things go from bad to worse and skin turns yellow/eyes and bilirubin levels increase to 2 times the ranges and I feel an impending doom like these are my last moments on earth. I took a week off TRT and symptoms declined, restarted and skin symptoms slowly returning. I had an allergy test for cottonseed, sesame seed and avocados and to my surprise I'm allergic to none of them. Chronic cough disappeared going from cottonseed to sesame seed, maybe it's the chloral versus the benzyl alcohol or benzyl benzoate I'm allergic to that's in the cottonseed carrier oil. Since our liver health is linked to our skin health I'm wondering if my liver functioning issues are could be linked to my high Reverse T3, therefore slowing liver function causing liver to get backed up with toxins affecting my skin and causing some sort of autoimmune system response. I've researched thyroid can also affect the skin in many ways and perhaps I have a combination of thyroid/liver issues that are related to my high Reverse T3, which strangely is being withheld from my patient portal. Previous endo stated Klonopin withdrawal stressed out all gland in the body, previous 30 year Klonopin user since age 14, it's why I'm on TRT. I was perfectly fine, hypersexual and muscle definition was great before tapping off Klonopin. I wonder if it damaged the thyroid gland as well. Any comments welcome.
