Hey Guy's,
Just looking for a bit of advice here.
I have noticed a constant "good day, very bad day" routine with my TRT, so something still isn't right. While allot of symptoms have improved, i am still getting joint pain in my knees and elbows and some dry skin on my knuckles and foreskin area.
I am not sure if this is "water retentation" as such but everytime i go into the shower, come out and dry myself, my body still seem's moist and 'sticky' like sweat but maybe holding water instead. This is difficult to describe but i am sure i have noticed some skin flushing also (a kind of redness). Could this be E2 related?
I have been experimenting with different dosages of Androgel to see which works best. It's ironic because on one hand i have the symptoms of low e2 but on the other hand i have the symptoms of high E2. It seem's to chop and change daily and some day's better than others. There is no way in hell i could have a proper relationship right now and my confidence is way down because of having atrophied nut's and a shrunk up ****! Great fun! Not to mention the fact getting erections is becoming near impossible.
To give a run down, basically if i apply the androgel at 6am by the time i reach work (which is roughly a 2 mile walk) my penis has went from hanging normal (to almost "semi" like) to shrunk up like a worm! I start work at 7.30. I have tried applying at 2am in the morning (if i am still up) and other times too. I take 1 ZMA before bed (roughly around 10pm) and have tried 2 to see if it helps reduce the symptoms, still no luck. I don't 'feel' like i have high E2 because i don't feel low on energy or have brain fog, yet libido and penis aren't working right. I can't get erections on demand and libido seem's low even though i still have thoughts of sex. I was applying the androgel on the usual areas at 10g's a day. The same thing "seemed" to happen no matter how much i was applying, i have tried 5g's, 7.5, 10g's, all giving the "wash out" penis look. Does anyone else experience anything like this?
I seem to be showing both low E2 and high E2 symptoms. Very strange...I am really skinny with little to no body fat so really can't understand this at all.
There is no point in me doing HCG right now until i get TRT working right first and so i can monitor correct.
Before i am asked to post recent blood work, i don't have any to hand but will be getting new blood work done next week for sure. So i will post up the results then. I am getting a 'sensative' E2 check done, free t, total t, dht, etc. This should give a better idea i hope.
I am thinking injections might work allot better and will give me a higher total T which might be what i need? Do injections give lower E2/DHT than androgel?
I will try altering the time of androgel application and amount used again. I will give 7.5 a try tomorrow, if this still dosen't work i will try .25mg of arimidex to see what happens, this might be all that's needed. I have tried DIM and still the same thing happens.
Any advice would be great!
