Title: Nausea every day on T
Post by: damiend98 on May 10, 2018, 08:26:34 PM
Hello, I'm not really sure where to post this (so if I've posted it in the wrong spot, please tell me where to) But I'm in desperate need of help.

I've been on testosterone for 13 months now. Around 4ish months ago, I started experiencing nausea daily. This gives me no appetite, so much so to the point where I've lost a lot of weight. I was already very underweight before starting T, so naturally this has gotten even worse for my body.

At this point, I'm taking a standard dose for once a week injections. I was taking a little more a couple months ago, but my doctor bumped me down some after hearing about this problem and thought this would go away. It didn't.

I'm going for blood work tomorrow. Four months ago I had bloodwork done (that's when my doctor adjusted my dosage) and nothing was wrong in my blood. But now, I'm hopeless and I absolutely no idea what's going on. It's so hard living like this, knowing I need to eat but feeling way too food repulsed to do much.

Has anyone else had this problem? What's going on with me? I feel really confused and alone, especially after doing so much research and finding not only no one like me, but no answers to ease my stress.

Sounds like the first thing you should be doing is eliminating the possibility of whether it is the T shots responsible by stopping the injections for a bit.

This is only guess work but ask the doctor for your Testosterone and Estradiol levels then post them here. It's possible your body is converting T to E and your getting the equivalent of morning sickness. If the doctor doesn't normally test both of these levels, ask that the tests be run at least until you get this figured out.
