Test Flu? Testosterone causing flu symptoms?

[babyface58]

I just started TRT about a week ago and for the past few days I’ve been feeling a bit of a sore throat, pressure in my head, slight fatigue, and my body has been achy.

Nothing crazy but definitely not feeling 100%.

Anyone else experience this when starting TRT?

I found out about something called “Test Flu” where your body is reacting to higher testosterone levels and triggers an immune response.

Also apparently higher T levels also lower your immune system?

This isn't common on TRT.. On cycles it is a given. IT passes in a few days.

Test flu is a normal occurance but not in trt like dude said above. if you scroll down you will see similar threads with your same issue. dont worry.

Everytime I make a small change to my TRT protocol, within a couple of days I get a really bad cough and throat gets sore for a while. The closer I get to a stable state the symptoms start to subside.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm a month into TRT and the flu symptoms seem to have gone away.
