getting chills while on TRT

**grumpee** · 05-05-2012, 11:25 AM

Got a question for you guys. Seems like ever since I came off my last blast a few months ago and went back on my trt cruising dose ( currently down to 150 mgs) I have been experienceing chills even when out side and its 90 plus degrees. It gets worse when Im in the shade or come in the house. I have got blood work awhile back after i first started experiencing it and bloods seemed normal. I did some searching on google and only found that it could be caused by a imbalance of hormones

Has any one else experienced anything similar to this while being on TRT ?

I feel like I run hot, I never get chills. The night after I get a shot I often get night sweats.

I think I know what your talking about, when I was on deca I would always be hot and sweaty, even in cold weather, but like now when I'm on normal TRT dose I do feel cool most of the time, even wore a jacket when I would normally be in a T shirt. I'm not sure what to think, I have lost a bunch of weight in the past year or so, maybe that's what caused it, I dunno but I can definitely tell the difference between when I was on cycle and when I'm on normal protocol.

Seriously since I started TRT 4 months back Iv been sick ever since, caught a head cold and it wont shift. 4 months already and I'm still sick as a dog, I was going to make a post asking does TRT mess with your immune system, I don't know what's happening here but this wont leave, usually if I catch a cold its a week till Its gone but not this time, its near summer and Im in bed with a thick hoodie n pjs freezing my ass off, head is pounding n im picking dry mucus out of my nose.
WTF??

Go to a doctor my friend.

I'm also hot on TRT. The chills sound strange. Can you describe what brings them on?

Already went to the doctor ran a course on anti biotic s don't seem to be getting better, this is a nightmare unable to fight off a common head cold.

You know it could just be something else not related to TRT. Any family history of anything??

I recently had a similar situation, doc gave me antibiotics too, turns out, after being sick for a month and a half that it is caused by the fact that this has been one of the worst years for allergies around here....a neti pot and some claritan and I felt good within a week.

I don't think the OP is referring to chills like that.

**edmundo22** · 05-07-2012, 12:30 PM

Didn't think the two were related till I read this post but never been sick like this for this long ever, could even be related to letting the testogel dry everyday with my top off.

Just googled HRT cold chills / sweats, loads of info coming up seems to be aimed solely at women but sure it applies to us to, still getting chills n sweats 2 weeks later.
Surprised no one else as experienced this.

Nearly certain I'm allergic to testosterone or the ingredients in testogel, went back to my doctor, hes says its some sort of allergy but I never mentioned the testogel, I'v never had an allergy in my life till now and Iv had this the entire time Iv been using the gel, face is puffed up and have a fever.

Can't believe this, I'm allergic to the one thing that was initially making me feel better overall.

ed, just switch to the shots. there is also the patch, whcih may or not work so good for you, its iffy like the gel. There is also Striant, and oral "patch" of sorts and its absorbant rate is very good from the studies i saw.

**edmundo22** · 05-19-2012, 09:03 AM

Only have a prescription for the gel

I been sick for the last 4 days, fever is 104F and no advil or tylenol work, nothing i can do. I have headaches, body aches and chills. Swollen Tonsils, a simple cold and it seems more than that, maybe being on TRT does affect your immune system. I was prescribed penicillin and been taking it hope it gets better...
