Hi all,
I’m coming here because I’m out of ideas. I am 28 and have been on and off trt several times since 25-26 or so. Growing up I was chubby as a kid but then got extremely fit. I was a machine throughout high school and college and played hockey every day of the week, lifted and did extra cardio alongside it, you name it. Did not have much anxiety whatsoever and was very confident, had a great memory, tons of energy. However starting near the end of college I started taking adderall as I was in a very hard major and was not doing well and panicked. (large amounts prescribed by a shady doc) and kratom (to counter the adderall anxiety). I abused these two drugs for about a year and a half and after quitting I had many problems begin.
My libido and erections have been shit. My memory got worse. I’m anxious and on edge a lot. I’m more depressed. I can’t get rid of belly fat. I lack motivation and strength in the gym. I get very cold legs and even a cold penis and tend to feel worse overall when I am feeling cold. Trt fixes the memory problems and makes me not so terribly depressed but that’s about it. I’ll have no libido for weeks even with high test and normal estrogen. It also randomly gives me anxiety where my chest feels funny. I get stomach problems and issues with my breathing and flat out feel sick. Dry mouth constantly and really itchy scalp (I convert a lot to dht). I get a really tight chest for months at a time that essentially riddles me with anxiety and it’s unexplainable by doctors.
I need to know who I should see. Is there any doctor that will take a look at the entire picture? I mean vitamin levels, thyroid, adrenals, sex hormones, all of it? I’ve looked at Dutch testing and what not but I need someone to interpret and treat. I’m really at the end of my rope here as it seems like I just can’t feel good. I am finally going to be making a good amount of money in January so I have the coin to figure this out but I need the person who can do it. Any ideas?
