Let me start by saying I dont plan on suing anyone, Im more just curious if Id have a case.
Im 23 and started TRT last week. Ive tried 2 separate clomid restarts over the last year and neither one has stuck to keep LH/T up. Ive had an MRI to rule out abnormalities. Thyroid/adrenals are good. Body fat % is good. Im healthy in almost every aspect besides T production, which I personally believe is the reason for my mental health problems of the past year.
My doctors think my low T is being caused by depression. I think its the opposite, as I have a good life.
I think my low T is a mix of a few things.
1. Long time prescription drugs. From ages 12-21 I took a drug called singular for my asthma, as well as advair for my asthma. I also took a drug called hydroxyzine because I had chronic hives if I didnt take it. I've weened off of all of them this year. In high school I was always tired, and I think it was because of the 2 hydroxyzines a night, as they make me super drowsy, I didnt realize it until after I stopped them.
Although Ive never had mental health issues until this past year, Ive always had lower energy for someone my age and could never stay up late in college. Part of it was my personality, part I think was low T looking back. I worked out a lot, but it was always a forced thing. I played sports competitively until age 21.
2.*** From ages 18-22 I ran 3 cycles of pro hormones without proper PCT. One was at 18, when the guy sold it to me despite not being 20 like it says on the counter at the store. I knew NOTHING about the endocrine system, testosterone, LH, all of that stuff until AFTER as I did research based on my symptoms. To me, taking a pro hormone was the same as taking a protein shake. I thought nothing of it, the guy at the store sold them to me like it was no big deal and no risks associated. My doctor doesnt think this is the issue as he doesnt think such short use of prohormones should cause permanent damage. (4 week cycles over the course of 4 years.)
I know its my fault for not doing my research, but at the same time, an 18 year old kid walks into the store and a guy tells him this will help you get stronger with no risks, why would I say no? Again, to me it was like buying protein powder, no big deal. Looking back Im pissed off that this guy took advantage of me and never informed me of what I was doing or how to PCT. Infact, on one of them, he flat out told me the product was so mild that it wont affect my system and I dont need PCT.
Again, I know thats all on me for being an idiot, but do I have any case against this store. It was the same store/guy for all 3 of those cycles. Im not saying Im going to sue, Im not that type of person but Im more just curious if I have a case there. Ill always wonder if I hadnt done pro hormones ever, If my life wouldnt be in this mess that it is now. Unless TRT works for me, my quality of life is zero, and is hard to live. Im being patient with TRT and I hope it works, but looking back Im so pissed at myself/ trusting a guy behind a counter/ the guy playing off prohormones as no big deal when they are.
What do you guys think?
