Well after almost 10 years of TRT am now forced to go off at 47…
Long story but after a series of complete incompetence I was hospitalized with Systolic congestive heart failure… healable and reversible BUT both cardiac doc, gen PT and consult from Endo all want me off T for good.
Gen prac is an awesome guy (new doc as the old one was not monitoring my blood work, my red blood count went through the roof causing the heart issue, then local hospital dropped ball twice in emergency room over a month telling me everything was just peachy) … Went to a different hospital in Reno a few days later and was admitted within 40 minutes and getting cardiac consut and testing, was in for 5 days and even had a Angiogram, CT with contrast and Xrays… Had fluid in my lungs etc… I thought and was led to believe I had bronchitis for almost a month, yeah great health care…
New Doc hooked me up with Nolvadex, and a scrip for HCG, just have to find a good place to get now, but 10 years into this, my testicles are the size of pecans so I hold not much hope…
Odd part is that last year my test numbers were only 424, but I was holding great muscle mass… so at this point no idea…
Have done reading etc, so what now? am I just going to have to resign myself to no muscle, more body fat and zero sex life because of an idiot doctor?
Or do I do the HCG/Nolva, keep my protein high and just keep pushing heavy weights?
I had my first heavy workout 2 days ago ( since I am not an ATAC patient) I was cleared to train the way I had been, and funny enough the specialists told me the fact that I did train heavy is probably what saved me.
So any advice from another that has been there or is there would greatly be appreciated…
Thank you in advance… depressed but hopeful … I was very lucky as my condition is fixable and I will be back to normal in a few months with meds and some changes, but … well you get it…
