Title: question
Post by: bambam on December 24, 2014, 01:42:30 PM
I was wondering if anyone else experiences their throat tightening up/having a frog in it about 30 or so minutes after doing their shot. This happened to me last week for my first shot and again this week. Just curious.

When I first started T, I would get nauseous 30 minutes to an hour after my shot. I also had the frog-in-throat feeling but that was mostly constant until my voice started to change. Both of these things are long gone now.

Ahh, I see. I don't have the nausea but definitely the tight throat. Thanks for the feedback bro!

Yes. When I first started T, it was very noticeable the first few weeks. It wouldn't happen necessarily directly after my shot, kinda an off and on thing. But I definitely felt that weird tightness.

Yeah, it was 30 minutes after my shot and a few days after my shot. So definitely off and on, probably be the same way this week lol

Ugh, the nausea is the worst, I still get that.

I do still get some anxiety-related nausea and I deal with it by drinking Ginger Ale every shot morning XD Not the healthiest way to deal with it, but it keeps the nausea at bay.

I don't know CFD, I think a shot of ginger ale every morning sounds pretty okay. Ginger is a very good anti-emetic, perhaps the best there is. You might try fresh ginger tea. Take a slice of fresh (real) ginger, put in microwave for a minute or so. A little lemon and honey is very nice as well. Bottoms up. :) A small bite of crystalized ginger has quite a bite. I found some pear/ginger tea at Trader Joe's. Don't know if that would work.

I had a little bit of the tightness yesterday...I figure it's something normal since most guys report having it. Thanks for chiming in bud.

That sounds especially good since winter is coming up, thanks for the suggestion Jay!

Ginger Ale is a good idea.  I think about it every time I am nauseous (as I will be in an hour or so because it is shot day), but never remember to buy any to have in the house!

There are also ginger lozenges and chews that helps with nausea.
