Post Workout with Low T

[Vigilante]

This is a major symptom for me that I keep mentioning to my doctor.

I will load carbs with low gi in the morning and also eat 1 hour before the gym as well as taking creatine, go to the gym feeling ok, I will follow all the "rules" like not working out for longer than 1 hour but yet almost every time I leave the gym I will instantly feel wacked. I will feel dizzy, head ache, eye ache, just total fatigued, feeling like im not walking straight or feel off balance or zombie like. Its not even like im overtrained, I workout now 3 days per week max.

Its almost the exact way I felt years ago when I was first put on anti depression tablets.

is the gym just completely sapping all my available testosterone or what?

Current test level is 18.2 nmol (9-29) on Testogel, still a 60 year old level and im 30 but still way better than it was.

As an experiment I just slapped half a tube of Testim 1% on my nuts to see if I get and instant pick up.

I have the exact symptoms post workout since I've been off T.

I'm sure those symptoms are because of your low T and your inability to recover from an intense workout.

I remember when I was on T and my levels were normal I felt fine after a workout. Now I feel like i got hit by a freight train...

Tired... dizzy... beat up... headache... etc.

Fuck "experimenting" with Androgel, get some bloodwork done and if your levels are low call Chip with Maximus HRT...

haha being hit by a train is a line iv used in the past or being hit by a truck is another.

Its not even as if my workouts are that intense but by my 3rd exercise im already muscle fatigued to hell and in todays case I did 40 mins with weights followed by 15 mins bike cv and boom! suprised I even made it up the hill on walk home from the gym.

I just switch from Androgel to Testim too last week so im wondering if iv actually dropped from the androgel level of 18.2 nmol /535 ng/dl level.

This evening even I fell asleep on the sofa next to my fiancee at 7pm and sat here typing now I feel well off the pace, even abit on the depressed/aggressive side.

Unfortunately im in the UK or I would call Chip in a heartbeat, gonna get another appointment to talk to my doc this week and ask about going on Nebido.

Dicking around with these gels isnt doing my patience much good either.

My god if anyone has any advice I could do with it right now, switched from Androgel to Testim last week as I said before but as the days go by I feel worst and worst, yesterday I didnt recover from that 1 hour workout and today well Im still not recovered, woke up 2 hours later than normal, I feel hungover/dizzy/brain fogged/my concentration is almost non existant, I feel like I should just go back to bed and colapse. top it all I cant get an app to see the doctor who treats me till friday.

My Advice would be to get on injections.. I hardly ever hear of someone feeling good on creams and gels.. If your doc won't give you injections then find another doc.. Or better yet email Chip and get started w/ Maximus

Breakthrough day! I gave up the ghost and phoned my doc and after the phone convo hes agreed to start me on Nebido injects. I would count this as my 1st step on the ladder to feeling right.
