Got my bloods done and my Testosterone levels are LOW. I’m working out a lot and kind of pissed Ive been doing it on “hardmode” for god knows how long, but before I take the doc up on the script I’m doing my due diligence on the realities. It seems like every article I find is either written by a trt clinic or is a one sided hit piece. So Im after some real world experiences.
I’ve only heard very positive things about TRT, but that’s just from people discussing it online.
I imagine if you’re just using it to get testosterone levels back to normal then it wouldn’t cause any issues tho. The high testosterone side effects usually come from taking an inconceivably unnatural amount.
I have hypothyroidism and since going on medication I’m a completely different person. Obviously a different thing, but it’s crazy how much our entire lives can be dictated by hormones without realising.
All that being said, you should speak to a doctor about it.
Ive mentioned it in a other reply but theres a private TRT clinic thats happy to take my money and give me what I apparently need. But regular GPs often treat guys wanting TRT like junkies seeking pain meds. They will only prescribe it or recommend it if your levels are utterly fucked mine are pretty damn low but not abysmal.
Im going to talk to a GP before signing up (If I decide to) but I want to have smarter questions to ask than I have now.
