So, I have never used any REAL PEDS, i mean, just some stimulants or Kratom or whatever, but not real ones.
I have high cholesterol which i need to get down, and i know TRUE steroids raise that, so that's only ONE of many reasons i have no interest in ''real'' steroids, but being that I am turning 40 soon and plan on going back to brazilian jiu-jitsu and other martial arts which i have been away from for a year but used to do for decades, and because I am wracked with injuries (THREE ACL tears and chronic neck issues) I do at times wonder about TRT.
I know it's not something that makes someone superman, and that the idea more or less would be to make me feel like I felt whenever my test levels were at their highest, like hopefully how i felt at age 18 or whatever, in the body of a 40 year old of course.
But aside from the fact that i have no idea where to get TRT, no idea how to do it ''properly'' or if it's safe with my cholesterol levels that i need to get down, and that i don't know if i could ever afford it, there is of course the fact that I hear that if you do it you pretty much have to do it for life (does one need to take it on a monthly basis or what” ?) or your body stops producing its' own testosterone.
Now...that's a scary proposition.
1--So the first question i'd even ask is; what would happen to a chronic TRT patient who suddenly and completely went off their test. shots?
Would they basically just wither away and become like a skinny old man with no muscle, no sex drive, no energy, getting sick all the time, etc?
Cause that's the kind of thing i imagine, and it sounds like a nightmare, like having cancer or some shit, though i have no clue if it's really THAT BAD...but clearly not what one wants.
So then comes the final 3 part question; for you guys who get TRT;
2--How do you pay for it, how much does it cost and does your insurance cover it?
3--Do you ever worry about not being able to afford it or get access to it any more if you happen to move, maybe even to another country or your doctor dies or retires or whatever?
And finally 4---How in your opinion could someone new to TRT who DOES NOT make a lot of money and certainly never will be filthy rich lol, and who has no connections, feel confident that they could start TRT and know that at any and every point in their life from then on they'll always be able to find a doctor to prescribe it to them AND be able to afford it so they don't simply wither away and become a skeleton with no testosterone?
I mean, I am dependent on benzos, but in the rare case of emergency i could be tapered off at most hospitals throughout the country or the world, but as far as i know there's no ''testosterone taper''.
So we are talking about tampering with a complex bodily function which once TRULY altered beyond a certain point CAN NEVER return to normal.
That's a pretty hefty commitment considering many of us have no clue where we'll be financially or geographically in the coming years of our lives.
What if someone on TRT becomes homeless? (not that IF i ever get TRT i believe I'll be homeless lol, but again, i don't make much ), how would they not wither away on the street?
I suppose in that case food would be a bigger issue, lol, but i digress.
I think everyone gets my point.
What if your source gets cut off?
I don't know i'd ever get TRT, but these would be the first questions in mind if i did, cause it sounds like a done deal, something once committed to that you must stick with till the day you die.
Thanks.
