Hello everyone, I just came onboard this forum. Glad to be here and here's a little about me and my situation...
I'm 25 years old and I've had a history of Inflammation in my small intestines since I was 19. Since then I had about two or three bad flare ups a year, and was going to different doctors and getting ridiculous diagnosis. Then when I was 22 I found a great gastro that found out that I had something in the small bowel, had plenty of endoscopies, and a colonoscopy and then a capsule endoscopy that got stuck a year ago, then surgery was performed. Surgery called small bowel resectomy, and through that Chrons was the only reason for all this. Although sick a lot, I was always athletic and never stopped living an active lifestyle. I'm on mercaptopurine 125mgs daily and pentasa for the Chron's. Sometimes I do a month of this horrible steroid called Prednisone (I'm sure a lot of you guys took or heard about it) this is only if I have a bad flare up. I heard of a lot of Chron's disease patients taking TRT for Chron's for it helps gain weight and get healthier, for the meds take the testosterone to a lower level.
Just recently I got a doctors prescription for TRT. Testosterone Cypionate 200mg weekly for 15 weeks, then 2 weeks of HCG. Then again another 15 weeks of T then 2 wks of HCG. So total of 6 months. If I start feeling that I am getting too bloated or puffy nipples I will talk to the doctor about Arimidex, which he has said that he will give me some, but only if needed.
I am happy to be here and have all y'alls opinions and help throughout my treatment.
If anyone else has Chron's and does TRT keep in touch!
Also, I shall start a thread when I start my TRT, which will be in or on around three weeks.
Thank You
God Bless
