[QUOTE="CROM, post: 177895, member: 16642"] When I was much younger I would use 200mg of testosterone per week for bodybuilding. That’s all I needed to build a lot of muscle since I have very low SHBG. But long-term at that dosage it caused an immune disorder. My immune system started attacking some of my organs. This was confirmed by an actual scientist. You can see a little of the tissue damage that occurred on an x-ray. There is much medical literature that the immune disorder that I had was a result of the elevated androgens from testosterone injections. That immune disorder causes a hyperactive cytokine response. And it’s the cytokine storm that seems to kill COVID sufferers. That immune disorder stopped right when I stopped taking steroid dosages of testosterone. I think I was the first person to bring up the subject of TRT and COVID on this forum. I brought up the subject because COVID seems to affect people who have immune issues… Did testosterone cause my immune issues, OR was it a combination of having exceptionally low SHBG and synthetic testosterone that caused this immune response, after all testosterone lowers SHBG. BUT doctors are now saying that androgen suppression might help prevent sever cases of COVID. Those same medications used to suppress androgens in COVID patients are the same medications used to treat people that suffer from the immune disorder I experienced. [/QUOTE]
