RecentQuitter your not alone in your experience with trt. In fact I have had your same exact experience trying trt as well as half a dozen times after trying half a dozen other things. And every time just like you, I’m “cured” for 2, three days and then PFS adapts and reverts back to its full range of side effects. If you do a search there are hundreds of people on this board who have tried something and had your same experience. I’ve come to the conclusion after 5 years that the reason trt and other things only works for a day or two is because the root of the problem has not been addressed.
Image a car that breaks down and doesn’t run. Without knowing whats wrong the first thing you would do is to put gas in the car to see if that got it to run. That’s what testosterone is to our reproductive system, gasoline. Now imagine the car is out of gas but the reason for that is a deeper problem, something that is wrong with the car. Maybe a hole in the gas tank for example, well filling the tank up with gas will work for a day but it doesn’t fix the core problem which is still there, a hole in the tank.
Look at my issues caused by pfs which are shared by many others here: my liver doesn’t function properly and can not process something as simple as alcohol coffee or even a light tea, the tissue in my penis and testicles has radically shrunk and gotten weak, my facial structure has drastically changed and aged, my nervous system has been put into a constant fight or flight mode, my immune system has dramatically changed, I haven’t been sick or ill in any way in over five years. Something in the core of who I am has changed to a point that for some reason I’m immune to getting sick. I haven’t had one cold, one flu one cough one sneeze from being sick in over half a decade. Do you think something as major as these could be fixed simply by taking some testosterone. No way in Hell. The foundation of who I am as a man as been altered at a fundamental level.
This is why I don’t think we will ever get to the bottom of these issues hypothesizing amongst ourselves in front of our computer screens trying to be armchair Drs. It’s why the studies done by world leading experts at Baylor and Harvard are so important and our only way to getting to the heart of the issue. Doing our most to get those studies completed is our best hope of finding a cure. I just wish more people on this board would start putting their energy behind that and stop chasing delusional pipe dreams in other avenues.
