hormonal imbalance during show prep
I have been doing show prep for my first show over the past 15 wks with just about 1 wk left. Well about a week or 2 ago I noticed that my taste buds were pretty much gone! cant taste anything anymore. Up till then I was on Test prop 100mg EOD Tren Ace 100mg EOD masteron 100mg EOD and Winnie 50mg ED and Aromosin every couple of days. But I dropped the test to 50mg EOD and everything else stayed the same. Doing research I am suffering from a hormal imbalance, from which I was told was totally normal. I guess my biggest concern is being able to taste anything and having a metal after taste with everything. Is there anything I do or take to help this. Is my estrogen too high/low or my test too low? I am 30 yrs old and never had this issue before. or should I relax and everything will go back to normal after the show once I come off cycle? Any input would be appreciated thanks!

You can get a metal taste if your kidneys or liver is under stress
AnonAgreed with below, also just out of intrest, is the tren your running blood red??
i know your in show prep but you need to be getting some kind of carb/ sugars, even if its just sucking on some sugary lollies or some water with a couple of scoops of sugar in it, you could be suffering from some kind of border line diabetic situation, another cause can be a severe zinc deficancy, start supping that if you not already, - look up- hypogeusia, will help ya. good luck, be careful.
yea I saw something into that! I look into getting some zinc if that's what it takes! thanks again your help is greatly appreciate!
a hormone imbalance as a result of extreme dieting is normal. thyroid levels drop, test drops (obviously we supplement these hormones). i have done several shows and never had anything like that happen where my taste is metalic. if anything my taste is heightened and things that arnt so appetizing taste great. if you are doing zero carbs and are in extreme ketosis, that can cause a metallic taste though, althought i have never experienced or noticed it even when carb depleting.
if thats what it is, it will disappear after you carb up.
good luck at your show bro.
Thank u for your help, hoping everything will turn back to normal after next week
