Ok so I started T around 4 weeks ago, and the day before yesterday my stomach started hurting really bad and I've had diarrhea and been throwing up along with a nasty cough, I'm not sure if this is the seasonal stomach flu or flu virus, or not, if anyone knows if this is associated with T please let me know. I'm also taking an estrogen blocker but like I said I started all of
This 4 weeks ago so wouldn't any negative side affects have started forever ago? Maybe I'm just paranoid but if anyone has had this happen please let me know!
Not a Doctor but you probably have the flu or a cold. Testosterone can have some minor/mild side effects and the major side effects are very rare. It's possible you might have the flu and some very minor side effects mixed together. or you just have the Flu. I know I'm sick right now and I'm completely congested, runny nose, head ache, diarrhea. So I think it's something going around. If you start noticing that you are sweating a lot more than normal and can feel yourself getting hot, you may want to talk to your Endo and see about decreasing your dosage. I know when I started I was sweating buckets and really moody. We decreased my dosage and then I started to feel a lot better. Again though you are probably just getting a seasonal sickness :) No worries.
Hi Mason, welcome to Susan's. Congrats on having started T. I'm sure the guys maybe able to help you, but it's also possible that it's not related to the hormones at all. I look forward to seeing you around the forums. Good luck and Hugs

I didn't have any stomach symptoms. From what I've read and experienced, having what feels like a head cold/sore throat is pretty common. The rest of what you're experiencing sounds like something else.
