Title: Hormone supresant injections
Post by: AlexisB on January 15, 2013, 10:59:40 AM
I was supposed to start injections on the 13th of February but have brought it forward to this Thursday aka 2 days! So excited! For once the NHS are slightly humane -_-....

Can anyone tell me the (a be it minor) changes to expect whilst starting these?

If its simple the T blocker ones then dont worry to much, if done right you wont feel pain, however if your not on any E then you will well have no horomes in you and that leaves you with funny, moody and mentally straind. The injections I know of are the implants ones so they completely stop T production.

So simply be ready to be a bit more tired, a hell lot more moody(till your body adapts) and well T free :P

I am assuming you mean the implant injection as you really havent stated which one.

It depends make sure you get a GOOD nurse. If they hit a nerve in your leg or thighy it hurts ALOT. Not when they give it to you though ur leg will feel nimb, but about a day after it will hurt just to moove it. I recomend that you ask for it in you arm because it is alot less painfull nd you do a lot less with you arm than you do with the your legs. Though I am on the Lupron (Lipiside) shot, so depending on the shot you recive and your body efects may vary.

Injections that stop T production cold??? (obv your body has to produce some T to survive)

Sounds better than spirol  ;D
