Now that I am doing 250mg (split into 2 shots per week), I have noticed that acne pimples are starting to increase in numbers in areas that are higher in androgen activity - back, shoulders, forehead and temples.
Such a burden to get acne but now my dick is working super well and I am getting morning wood every single day, sometimes even getting awoken by it lol. You get some, you lose some. I am also a little more lethargic in the morning but I don't want to conveniently point fingers at TRT to be the issue for now, as I think stress and other factors might be causing those sleepy symptoms.
And so to deal with acne, I have decided to lay out some plans in my diet choice from now on to try and tackle the growing issue:
- Reduce sugar intake and eat foods low in glycemic index to prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar levels.
- Avoid inflammatory foods such as milk and dairy products, highly processed foods, and sweet sugary drinks
- Supplement with fish oil daily
I am planning to run this 250mg (split into 2 shots) dose for 12-16 weeks at least as I don't want to keep changing my protocol up and down causing even more hormonal fluctuations as a result. Hope things will look better in a few weeks.
