Thread: New to TRT, more questions than before I started

All you have to do is move more, eat better, sleep better, etc and over time they will come up. My level was 50, yes 50. Not in the 400s like you. That is not a level that needs TRT. That is a level that needs a swift kick in the ass so you change how you are living and eating to indirectly allow your T levels to go up.

My T level was checked a few months after I changed my diet, started going to the gym, taking supplements, etc. I wasn't looking for magic, I was looking to feel better. I've had enough people tell me I was wrong to try test and the horrible side effects from Arimidex that I've stopped everything.

I know there are some helpful people and some who spread wrong information for whatever reason. That's why there is so much conflicting information and no point in even trying to research because every other post says something different. So I'm done with it. Hopefully the side effects of Arimidex wear off pretty soon and I can just go back to my normal feeling like shit instead of feeling like shit with hot flashes and extreme nervousness. I know it has about a 50 hour half life so I should feel some relief soon.
