Hello all. I am 26, 175 lbs, and work out 3-5 days a week. I started TRT 10 months ago because of every low t symptom except erection issues. My T was 350 ng/dl prior to TRT. My T was so low because I had testicular cancer when I was 18 and lost my right nut and had chemo for 4 months etc.
Anyways, my protocol has been tweaked over the past 10 months. Started at 50 mg of test cyp. injected sub q E3.5D. Then 2 months later I bumped my test to 75 mg E3.5D and added 250 IU of HCG E3.5D. 4 months went by, and I bumped my test to 100 mg E3.5 and added .25 mg of anastrozole E3.5D. I still didn't feel any better so I bumped my anastrozole to .50 mg E3.5D. So my current protocol for the last 3 months is: 100 mg of test and 250 I.U of HCG all sub Q and take .50 mg of anastrozole E3.5D.
So, the only real things I have noticed from TRT is excess hair growth on my upper torso, back and shoulder acne, weight gain, and the strangest of them all; I seem to have trouble grabbing things with my hands and I end up dropping and knocking things over. It comes and goes but it feels like I am developing Alzheimers or some shit. Very weird.. My anxiety is still through the roof, I am still tired and often depressed, my memory is even worse, my muscle gain has not increased at all even with hard work outs and a good diet.
I do not drink, smoke, or party. I get plenty of rest, take a multi, fish oil, b-complex, and d-3 vitamins. I just want to start feeling better...normal. My endo is an idiot and a script monkey. I went to lab crop for my latest tests. Here are my latest blood results. I was tested the morning before my injection. These numbers do not make any sense as I feel the same as I did pre TRT at 350 ng/dl.
