Flushed on TRT?

[Athens-M50]

I have only been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for about 2 1/2 weeks.....but I have had some flushing over the last few days......(Thought it was from where I was out in the sun....but it was from about my chest up).....BP is good....Not hot........not sweating.......just red faced???


anyone else had issues like that?

Thanks for any input.

maybe high E2? What's your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosing schedule, and are you taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) ?

 

[Athens-M50]

1ml of Cypoinate...once a week....

 

[NateDEEzy]

have you had your E2 measured?

 

[Athens-M50]

do not know what that is?

sorry.....

I am getting a 2nd Op.....with a endocrinologist.....not sure when....just called my GP yesterday.

E2 is estradiol.. Aromatase inhibitor (AI) is aromatase inhibitor.
Yes, I would definitely get a second opinion as well as do what u can to educate yourself as much as possible with TRT

I have also been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 2.5 weeks and I am experiencing the exact same side effect. I'm worse off because I feel like I'm gonna cry at times, I'm moody, depressed, don't care about anything and can't workout to save my life. Its like life lost all its color. The cold and hot flashes are extremely annoying and I feel like I need to sit and eat Bon-Bons and watch Steel Magnolias. Sorry I can't provide any help, as I have no idea how to fix this issue, but let me know if anything works out for you. Good Luck.

Yep sounds exactly like you have high estrogen. You probably aren't absorbing the gel or there's too much aromatization going on.

Just to ask the obvious question, but are you taking niacin too?

My E2 is at 32 and I get flushing

Yes, my E2 never gets above 32-34 at the max and I got flushing at 150mg per week. I have dropped to 100mg per week now andit happens less often.

Do you have a lot of sodium in your diet? unless you cook most of your meals, chances are you do.


High sodium+aas= red face for me.


Be sure and be drinking plenty of water. gallon+ a day

 

[newtohrt]

Good point on the water. I do make an effort to drink a lot of water, but I am probably not quite up to a gallon or more.

 

[Athens-M50]

will try the water.....don't think I have a lot of salt in diet.....but will try that
seems a little better....did another shot last night....going to see if it comes a few days after shot of not.
