Check your Cypionate bottle and see if it is compounded with grapeseed oil. If so, it is possible you are having an allergic reaction to the grapeseed oil itself, not the testosterone. I developed sinus problems along with flu like symptoms, then had Defy switch my Cypionate from grapeseed oil to sesame seed oil and symptoms disappeared. There have been a couple more post in the past complaining of the same thing. It is probably rare, but it can and does happen. Our genetic makeup makes us all different.

My symptoms started out small like yours with sinus congestion then over a 3 month period got much worse with the sinus infections and constant body aches, coughing, etc.

If you want to switch to sesame seed oil, if in fact your cypionate is compounded with grapeseed, all you have to do is email Defy and they will send you a self addressed envelope to mail your unused T in and once received, will replace it with sesame seed oil.

Good luck!
 
thanks Vince but i do not think that what it is. Yes i have tried ed meds but only three times in the last year and only used half a tab. I have been on testosterone for almost two years now and ed has not been an issue any more.My energy level is better and over all health has been good. Seems to even have help with my arthritis. Except for this latest battle with my sinus problems. It could be a totaly different issue. I do have allergy's mostly to pollen's like grass etc.they always flare up in the spring and go away around July. I did have some severe sinusitis about 15yrs ago and did some sort of surgery though the nose needless to say it did not work and then they wanted to cut my forehead and peel back my scalp and remove my sinus cavity's .I told them then at that time to forget it and after a long while the infection went away.I should go and see a ear nose and throat specialist and see whats going on.thanks again
 
yes my test is with grapeseed oil and i did switch to devy med in the fall because of better pricing and i noticed that there compound was different it was with grapeseed . my old testosterone had cotton seed oil maybe your on to something thanks.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
