re: Need Info on TRT

While I know sleep apnea is a big issue when it comes to testosterone levels, I hate the idea a doc won’t treat low testosterone until SA is fixed. What if you have it and the doc gives you a CPAP. Most people have such a hard time becoming compliant with a CPAP. I feel like it is a revolving door so to speak. One affects the other and so on. I have SA and I have such a hard time using a CPAP. And I have really given it a good go. I keep pulling it out and trying and after a few weeks of only tolerating it a couple hours a night and getting some really horrible sleep, I put it away again. I am pretty early on in my TRT journey, but I am already seeing positive impacts. Waist is going down. More energy to actually work out. Able to recover better after working out. What I’m trying to say is that I don’t think having SA should stop someone from receiving TRT. I’m working through my SA and trying to fix it. But it would be a lot harder if I wasn’t getting testosterone treatments.

That’s interesting. I’ll look into it. I started off with nasal pillows and that felt like a direct stream of pressurized air straight to the brain. The full nasal mask was okay. I’m honestly at the point of trying to get an oral appliance. Thanks for the rec.

I tried to read through some of the thread but it's so long.

What prompted you guys to seek trt? I've posted on here about some anxiety/ocd/ depression stuff. Had a rough go several weeks back got back on meds etc and everything seemed to get better for about a month then just woke up about a week ago not feeling right and it's slowly gotten worse. Especially in the morning it's awful. I'm not fat, i exercise, get tons of sunlight etc... Relationships are great, active in church, finances stable. On a great vacation to boot. Basically there is no reason i should be feeling this way which freaks me out. So wondering if maybe it's something hormonal? Anybody used trt and found success managing mental struggles?

I have not got my levels checked but have an open lab to and will do it when i get home next week but I'd be surprised if it didn't come back at least somewhat low.

Rize-

How many milligrams per week are you taking?

That is what I take. 150 mg a week. I split it into 2 shots, one Monday and one Thursday. I was at 1300 a few days after my shot when I did blood work so I decided to split up the shot and now I am around 900 when I get the shot.
