My story is as follows. Back around Oct. of 2005 I naively did 2 cycles back to back of Deca Durabolin (100 & 200) to help a bad pec tear. I was doing 1cc a week for the 1st month and then 2cc's a week for the remainder. My last shot was on Dec.23 of 2005. I waited about 2 weeks and then I did 1cc of HCG for 10 days. That was it. I did no Clomid or Nolva. Before this I have never done a cycle of any anabolic steroid.
As you could guess a few weeks later I noticed I had no libido and had trouble sestaining erections. I immedietly went to my primary physician and had bloodwork done. Bloodwork showed that I had VERY low test levels (a reading of 108) and low LH and FSH . I also had a high red blood cell count. I was told to wait about 8 weeks for a follow up.
Soon I started to feel very lethargic, moody, and I found that I would fatigue very easily following any type of physical exertion.
About a month after my last HCG shot I began to take Tomaxophine Citrate to try and help raise my test. I knew it was late in the game, but I thought it was worth a try.I was taking around 40mg 1st 2 weeks, and tapered down to 30mg, 20mg, etc. That lasted around 8 weeks. I'm not sure if it's a side of the Tamaxo , but I was getting hot flashes, blurry vision, and now 2 weeks since I've taken it I still feel dizzy and light headed following any physical exertion. I also feel slower mentally and physically. I truly do not know if this is a symptom of low test or a side from the Tomaxo.
I have a follow up blood test tommorrow w/ my primary physician and an endo appointment on May 1st.
Although I have these appointments I fear that my doctors may offer little help as far as helping to restart my own natural test. My primary physician flat out admitted that he had no experience w/ steroid induced hypogonadism. We'll see what happens w/ my endo, but more than likely he may resort to lifelong TRT or HRT and I am trying to avoid this if possible.
What do you suggest if bloodwork comes back w/ negative feedback ? Should I just give my body more time ? It's been months and I've only been feeling worse. This has been affecting my entire life, both personal and at work. I want to feel better , but fear the risk of long term TRT.
Do you have any advice or references to good endo's in my area (Miami, Florida) that could treat my particular situation? Perhaps some resources or leads ? I appreciate the help.
