Low Testosterone almost killed me

Good news! I'm alive again! Well, sort of it. It's been a while since I've posted any videos and for good reason too. I had a massive testosterone level drop that I think almost killed me. I had pretty much every unusual symptom in the book from extreme hypoglycemia, to mental confusion, to hypothermia, to nerve pain, to rapidly weakening joints that fractured. Basically my entire body almost failed in the span of about a week.

@@da_dog_lol8341 As someone that has seen an extraordinary level of suffering in my life, I have to disagree. I'm in my 40s, have had two cancers, the first at 17, and I've lost people very close to me, and from that I just respect any kind of suffering or problem no matter how different. Funny - is people's issues, when you're young or you don't know better...and of course I sound like a boring old fart, I geddit. Kindness and respect for others goes a long way though. Another thing is honestly and opening yourself up. I suffered for years before opening up about my PTSD over cancer and the loss of my daughter. This is a young guy who has been brutally honest about that which opens himself up to a very different type of pain and ridicule. We can all do better by being more generous regardless of how anyone else suffers. Lads joking are mostly good people missing the point of that. That's my opinion, everyone is entitled to think xyz.

Driftor, OMG!! I am so blessed to run across this video! This is the first time in 30yrs I have heard a guy explain in such detailed accurate info about low T! I just broke down in tears listening to you explaining your symptoms of low T it has been an enormous explosion of the worse memories of my life, diagnosed with hypogonadism, I can no longer tolerate mainstream physicians they are idiots it's beyond words! But if I seen you in person I would hug you and not want to let go, because I never knew anyone else went through this hellish nightmare that I endured. You never missed a beat in your explanation of low T! You are 100% gold advocate for low T. I was put on T gel then insurance would not pay for gel so I was put on testo cypo shots. Yet still my doctor's kept my T in the low levels 400 not good so through research I started myself on stinging nettle extract and DIM to my amazement my T levels shot up to 975, YES!! Soon as my doctor found this out he exploded that's to high then he wanted to bring levels down and what he came up with I said BS! I cut my dosage of the two supplements in half. Mainstream doctor's ruined my life completely and never cared about their actions! I was barely able to support myself, and I had antidepressants tossed at me right and left which I said NO! It's been a ton of doctor's, last few yrs it's been fighting metabolic syndrome T2D, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, high red blood cell count which I no longer have, but the list goes on! Thank You so much for sharing your story of dealing with low T I am honored that you have told your amazing story and I am sorry you had to go through the hell that I still fight!

I’d be curious to see how you’d feel on actual TRT and not Clomid. I started TRT when my levels were around 280 and now I sit around 1100 every time I get my bloodwork done. 100 mg IM injection of Testosterone Cypionate once a week. No negative side effects other than some acne that I’ve never had before. Feel like a teenager again, it’s great. I had the same concerns about fertility and cancer risk and my doc said in his 30+ years of practice he hasn’t seen conclusive evidence of risk for those things while on TRT so long as you get blood work done every so often to be sure. Of course different physicians have different opinions but it’s something to consider.

[@kevinizatt7195]

My doc had me try clomid and it made things worse made me so depressed. Actual TRT is the solution but if you want to have kids you need to likely get HCG.

[@coolguy1952]

Yo look into splitting your dose into 2 or 3 times a week. More pinning but more stable blood.

[@Anon.G]

@@kevinizatt7195 clomid basically fucks up his dream of wanting to have stable emotions

[@JennErmyMedia]

Same here. I’ve been on TRT for about 4 years. I do HCG as well but I don’t plan on having kids. I mix my Test with a little liquid B12. Protip. Run the syringe under hot water for about ten seconds before injecting. It will go in easier. I’ve not had any side affects since I’ve been on it. I get my bloodwork done regularly to stay on top of it.

[@ManicMindTrick]

TRT will shut off your natural production of test and make it impossible to ever go back to being natural as you can disrupt your system to the point of no return if you are on it long enough in many cases. And it will affect fertility, any doctor who is worth their salt knows the effect of exogenous testosterone and sperm count. Cancer is disputed I believe.

Years and years of poor-quality sleep and stress (Infantry Soldier 2006-2012, Firefighter 2012-current) and I recommend it to my fellow firefighters and really anybody all of the time. It is a life changing medication! Several of my fire-bros have started TRT and they are all doing awesome on it. My doc also has me on Anastrozol, which helps with the mood swings. Infertility is the biggest downside, if you are planning on having children in the future.

[@Ghetto-toaster22]

I know your comment is old but I am going to comment anyways lol. I really wanna start TRT but I really hate to have to get a shot every single week. Working 2 jobs keeps me fairly busy so I just think it would help hard to do it every single week. I have heard once you stop getting the shots, everything comes back. I have seen they have a topical gel you can use but most ppl have told me it wasn’t that effective, like AT ALL. I havent even tested my testy level yet, but it would be a waste of time if I already know i cant do it every week. Sorry for the long comment. My question was, how often do you get it? And how long did it take for you to see benefits? I abused alcohol for years, wasnt a full like everyday drinking alcoholic at all but definitely abused it every single weekend and I think it has FKD my body up lol i dont drink no more though, havent had a drink in almost 13 months and I can tell you now, I have no desire to ever again.

[@LosPuertoRican]

@Ghetto-toaster22 hey no problem I'm still around! I've never tried the topical, but I imagine if it worked anywhere close to the injections, everyone would be on that instead. For injections, it's common to do either once a week or twice a week. However, most guys just do the injections themselves at home. The first few times can be a bit challenging, but you get the hang of it fairly quick. I have the vials mailed to my home, where I draw it up and inject it into my glute (sometimes I ask my wife to do it for me 😅). I have a friend that does the injection as "sub-q"(under the skin) with success, which might be an option that is easier to perform on yourself than the intramuscular. If you are just out altogether on injections, I recommend looking into testosterone pellets. They do a small incision on your butt and insert the pellet, which releases testosterone over 3 months, no injections necessary. However, the cost is greater. It's definitely a life changing medication, and I hope you are able to find a solution that works for you if you decide go that route 💪

Wow man, kudos to you for being able to share and being so honest; true strength. I've been feeling a little off the past couple months as well; also assumption of "aging" and COVID isolation/working at home. You have encouraged me to get a visit scheduled with my physician.

omg this is really shocking! I hope you are feeling better soon! Also the swatting thing is CRAZY I'm glad that resolved!

I live in Dallas too and the snow storm affected me pretty weird. I was on keto but ran out of food and eventually passed out from not eating or drinking enough. Take care of yourself!

I'm very glad to see you're alright and starting to do better. However, I doubt staying on clomiphene will resolve your issue long term. It's a drug that can jump-start testosterone production ONLY if you already had a good baseline production to begin with; this is why it's often used in post-cycle therapies after steroid use. From what I'm hearing it sounds like you should really consider looking into testosterone replacement therapy. I'm by no means a doctor, but I have a very solid understanding of endocrinology and I fear that if you continue with clomiphene alone, problems will inevitably arise in the future. Whatever you choose to do, know that the fans are always in your corner. Much love brother.

You should reach out to Derek at more plates more dates. He is really good for stuff like this.

Glad you're doing better drift! You sharing your life experiences really help all of us!

Glad you’re safe and becoming mentally healthier! I have been watching you for awhile now and it seems like you are getting to a “normal” level. Stay safe!

Eight Thoughts is probably losing his mind right now because he can't post a video about this. Well played...

[@CelicaSNC]

He's already posted videos before. So he has something to hold him off :3

[@geogrip5580]

As a diabetic, i feel your pain.

[@narutoshipuden0]

Happy your feeling better man!

[@anishpatel5089]

I'm going through the same thing, I had testicular cancer at 24, and i'm 29 now and have quite low T. It's still in the normal levels barely (single figures), so my doctors are not wanting to do anything yet, but.. i'm definitely feeling some symptoms. Nothing major, but it's pretty frustrating! Your story has been useful though, I really hope you are good now and you have less stress! If you ever want to talk about it let me know!

[@nathanh2725]

Change your diet man.

[@imhatchmantoo]

You were the final straw that caused me to get on Clomid and it changed my life. Thanks for being honest about this with us :)

[@BelfackeR]

Are you still on clomid?

[@rockman22]

How much do you take? How often?

Very courageous... its very difficult for a lot of people to talk about issues like these. Im lucky to never have health concerns, glad you took care of this and its important to advocate for yourself and search for doctors that actually listen and will invest more then 1 minute of thought. Do it like a big dog!

[@stevenpifer]

Thanks for sharing, helps give me hope that I'm on the right path. The stress as a complicating factor helps explain a lot of mine own struggles over the last year. My symptoms weren't all the same as yours, but it was very familiar overall

Glad to hear you’re finally starting to feel better. I hate when doctors try to dismiss real pain and symptoms as psychiatric problems.
