Facial wasting

My face has really thinned out and I have lost a lot of collagen and/or muscle around the eyes, forehead, even my neck and scalp feel thinner. It’s not really obvious to others but feels very much different to me. You don’t really realise there’s muscle beneath the skin until it goes. I suppose this ties in with muscle wasting but is a lot scarier and seems very rare, apart from one or two cases it’s only something I read about in AIDS patients.

It seems obvious some androgen dysfunction lies at the root of this but I’m wondering if it may have something to do with cortisol and thytroid levels too.

This is a side only for the hardcore few I guess. Anyone else?

Alot of muscle wasting generally all over my body. Also thick deposits of fat where I was lean before crashing. I don’t notice it much in my face. Maybe TRT would help you with this Luck until better treatments come about?

I have this. Its wonderful!!!

I also have this and it’s one of my biggest complaints. At my worst point, I looked like an aids patient. I was just looking at a photo album at my sisters on Thanksgiving. It’s depressing to look at pictures of myself. I lost all of the structure in my face.

I think maybe I have recovered some, but it’s difficult to say. I really don’t like to have my picture taken at all now. Those of us that suffered the worst sides with this drug, seem to have this side along with the loss of muscle.

I did regain some muscle back over the past month and added 5lbs of muscle. I’m not sure if it’s the cortisol use or what. I’ll keep you guys updated if I notice a change in the facial thing as well.

man i am having the same symptons,now my face and neck looks feminine…my life is totally ruined by this drug…did you have any recovery??if you have than what did you do for that…
