Title: So Ive been on T for 2 days.
Post by: JaydinEVOLUTION on April 14, 2011, 07:39:02 PM
Ive been on Testosterone for 2 days now and Ive noticed a few things...Im wondering if they are related to the T or if it is just in my head.

-Constantly feel the need to clear my throat
-Constant fatigue/spaced out feeling.

Does anyone know the answer???

There's no way anyone can give you a definite answer on this. There's too many other causes to those things.

I figured...it was worth a try I guess though.

Nobody can tell you for sure.

As for your throat, anecdotally, a lot of guys report a sore throat shortly after starting T. While it's likely not a permanent voice change yet, it may be T-related; many tissues do become slightly irritated or inflamed as a precursor to growth.

The fatigue, though...I wouldn't pin that on T. Almost everything causes fatigue.

I would say the constant need to clear the throat could be associated because I felt the same thing and then nearly lost my voice 3 weeks into T. It has to do with the whole process of the voice getting deeper..

as far as the fatigue that could be just about anything, so I don't know that it's linked to the T for sure.

hope that helps
