HRT for pain and possible Fibromyalgia
It has been about a year or so that I have gone from pumping iron and progressing every day to becoming a near disabled person. From one day to next I woke up with pain so bad, I do shed tears on daily basis when no one is around to see me; even my wife. I am still trying to figure out what is wrong with me, as diagnosis keeps changing. Here is the deal, after a fortnight of pining Test E and Deca at very low dosage I go back to what I used to be. I tried this 3 times. Pinned for 4 weeks and then stopped waited 4 weeks and restarted. I did it to ensure the lack of pain is related to hormone.
Now considering that as a grown man with massive tolerance for pain I do cry every day at least once from pain what are the true downsides of starting low dosage TRT now? 50 mg of deca and 250 test e per 14 days is enough to make me a normal person.
I rather we leave discussion of my ailment to an other post and keep the focus on TRT because my pain is have brought to brink of suicide.
btw no I refuse to take opiods and no they dont even work.

Hello brother, I also have fibromyalgia. If you look at my pics I was around 230lbs. After fibromyalgia kicked in I’m lucky to do cardio less yet weights. So physique has changed. I also went through dark times with depression and anxiety for which I fake cymbalta and buspirone. I also joined a fibromyalgia support group(dm me if you want the info). Now fir the pain, I tried every drug imaginable. Only thing that works is thc and kratom when it really bad. I also use the pso rite devices, lots of stretching and massages when I can afford. I also learned to listen to my body a lot more. I’m no where as big and strong but it makes us tougher mentally. God willing you see how tough you are now and probably would have never known. I blast and cruise with test and HGH is all year.
What about the pregabalin and cymbalta and duloxetine or the other meds that are not opioids. I don't know if you have tried those or your against them but I can only imagine all those nerves firing at the same time.
I wish you the best brother.
I hope that you can get atleast enough control to be able to handle the pain.
Don't commit suicide brother there are always other options then that and I know that you are hurting but imagine all the others around you will hurt if you ever went that route.
Best wishes
Sounds like depression to me. Depressive symptoms that is.
You need to clear out at least 6 weeks from the last shot you took and take blood tests for test and estrogen
Do you mean depression as in clinical depression brought upon by previous use of gear? I have been thinking about this for a while.
I am not suggesting you dont have fibrom, not trying to contradict anything a doc or anyone else has said
Just that when you talk about crying, feeling pain... well as a person who has had depression since the age of 12 and experienced it across the range.... numbness depression, sadness depression, beyond the black dog depression...
Well... I can tell you with absolutely no uncertainty that physical pain... e.g. being bent over in pain during sadness depression.... pain can absolutely be a symptom seen during depression. But that may or may not be me muddying the waters....
Regardless, when you run low on test, and your estrogen drops below 20, maybe below 15 for some, you will experience symptoms of depression, brain fog, indifference, sadness, physical pain (joints and bone pain, achey muscles) etc. Run like that long enough and it will absolutely be the same as clinical depression.
So rather than focus on previous use of gear, focus on what is happening in your body right now. What is your test and estrogen level at right now? Requires simple blood test, answer in couple of days. too low, well then that explains the symptoms alleviating with the test shot.
You need to let the drugs clear your system and test your hormones. Its so simple.
Beyond that, we can discuss further.
I am going for a new Hormone panel in a fortnight will post up the results here but to add to what you have hinted at here is an article:
https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2019/1/29/hormones-and-pain-care...
Thats is really interesting.
It is slightly tangential from my line of though, but the EXACT same reasoning.
Please do post your bloods. Try get a full lot done, ful met, sex hrmns bloodwork, thyroid etc look for disease markers if offered etc etc.
when was your last shot?
So what are you looking for here? You talk about constant pain then talk about taking test for a whopping 14 days then off for the same.
I'm just not sure the point of your post. Go see a doctor, stop abusing steroids because its clearly not doing shit the way you are taking it.
I have ran a few cycles of gear Before. I have ran gH and Peptides too. I am not trying to abuse Test or Deca.
After a year of pain and doctors just sending me to more imaging and blood sucking I have no answer nor any medication that works or reduces my pain. A few months back I read about Deca easing OA pain. So I thought why not, I started a simple low dosage cycle then bam pain went away so I abruptly stopped the cycle did some research in about 2 week pain started to come back so I pinned again and out of curiosity I stopped again to see if the pain will come back and it did. What I am looking for is anyone experience with TRT to reduce pain.
I very much appreciate your concern for my health and I very glad that you have warned me about the abuse angle and I will keep it in mind while deciding on self medication.
I think you need to know what's going on in your body before you embark on TRT. Treating yourself is not a good idea!!!
Please go to the DOCTOR. if your not happy with him GO TO ANOTHER ONE. Till you find your answer. And dont dare turn to self medicating pain killers. Get this figured out and hopefully get back to life without pain. Dont mess around goodluck and keep us posted
What are your test and estro levels? Hopefully you had those checked before going on this test/deca protocol. Something this bad though you really need to be talking to actually docs about. There is a whole shitload of things that could be going on so I would be getting a full work up from them.
Doc is happening bro, no answers yet and I am in so much pain, all I am looking for practical experience from people thats all. I will see if I can find my test results and post them here but I have left it to my doctors and my wife now. I do the pain part now.
Hopefully it gets figured out for you but I wouldn't be trying to self medicate with test and deca at this point.
thats what I am looking for, someones experience that tells me it is worth biting the mattress one more day
RustyhookerJust wondering if your dr ran full hormone panel? Lyme disease?
MRI and other imaging tech showed me as healthy.
Blood tests also cleared me of the popular culprits OA Cancer etc
So now we are on path of exploring any other possibility.
RustyhookerHope they get you fixed up quick.
