Ultrasound Thursday, blood work today. One was for TSH. I put on 30 pounds in a month, have lots of muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness, sensitivity to cold. Joint pain. Also checking gall bladder and pancreas. Oh the joys of the holidays.

the 30 pounds sounds bad ... assuming it is not holiday weight gain
even if it was.. that is a lot ..

if it was from eating from eating bad ,

I would suspect that it would cause a little stomach-ache issue , but because of that I would think you would loose weight
or not gain much...


keep us informed ... wish you welll

It happened a few months ago. Went from 217 to 247 in 30 days. Then fatigue got worse then muscle cramps set in. Not too mention, I don't pee often or a lot. But when I do it is generally clear with no odor. It's really annoying. The fatigue is like when I would take pain killers after surgery only constant. Your wiped out but unable to sleep.

Just hrt at 250mg enanthate a week. I didn't see a test for kidney function. My legs, Quada and hamstrings cramp either stretching or just from touching them like when sitting down. My arches cramp like when on clen. Feet and hands are a bit puffy with fingers crampy again lime when on clen.

The fatigue has gotten worse over last few months. I wake up fairly rested, but then a short while later, I feel like I took 5 percecets and it just goes south from there. My big worry is the ridiculous amount of weight I put on in a month and it is steadily climbing. At this rate I'll be 275 next Xmas if I don't figure this out. He'll my calories are barely enough to sustain me at 190. I'm gonna adjust my diet next week to eliminate any remaining bad foods and up role in some more.

Hope it gets figured out and you can get to feeling better soon. Been through something like this with Fuzo years ago. I would ask for some adrenal function tests to. The problem though is many primary docs just do the basic tests. The specialist do more. Keep us posted

30 pounds in 30 days is a lot of weight, even trying to gain that much is hard. I would def get blood work done especially feeling so bad.

This also happened to Fuzo a few years ago but it was 26 lbs in 3 days. No matter the duration though, that is still much weight in 30 days

I was experiencing bad muscle cramps a few years ago and after blood work and many test I was put on Dilantin a anti seizure medication that's off prescribed for cramps. It has helped me tremendously . I will still get a cramp every once in awhile. Before the Dilantin they were debilitating.

I poop but it's greasy and pale yellow. Stinks too.

I read a low or no thyroid output can cause cramps too. Anti seizure medicine is hard core.

What ended up being Fuzo's issue?

Ultrasound and basic blood workbis normal. see urolgist wed for aching testicle and not peeing well. then off to endocrinologist and cardiologist. im getting all things checked sometging just not right. Did put me on small dose cholesterol med, lipotor. and a bp med with a diuretic in it. my blood pressure is at 160/104. normal for me is 110/78.

The fatigue and other weird feelings are like being on pain pills but without the pills. will keep updated.

so did your doc instigate the cardio and endo or you

if he did atleast he is looking into it ...

the bp could be anything ... that spikes for everything..
the blood work is good to hear ...IMHO

He has me going to urologist cause of issues with peeing and testosterone levels. i instigated the carsio and endo. I am not leaving this up to anyone but me. I know something is wrong, I just have to get a doc to figure it out for me before something bad happens and its too late.

So prostate is enlarged, psa test and another testosterone test. At Ultrasound to get testicles checked since one is in pain. Next is a flow test to see how bad i pee. Getting old is so much fun.

Im thinking of filing claim with VA. I was at Camp Pendleton in the 80s. Camp Lejeune was dumping chemicals into water for decades thru 80s. I alrwady had a questionaire for Pendleton sent to me and they called. I bet same thing going on at Pendleton as Lejeune. I bet I got poisoned from the water when I was there. Maybe from Okinawa too. No one in my family has these issues, just me.

You certainly should file claim.

how about the enlarged kidney? No concern with that? Next they may want to do a cystoscopy. YOu seeing a Urologist?

I am seeing urologist. Just had Ultrasound on the testicles wont know results for a while. Ugh. Right one has been hurting for a while now. Depending on psa test the enlarged prostate could be normal for my age and seem to be some fixes for that. As for the testicles, if diagnosas not good about only cure is to take them out, not good.

Not being alarmist, as more tban likely they are okay. I am hoping for some kind and f chemical or hormone imbalance for all this, that would be a relatively straight forward fix.

Sleep seems to be good. Get 3-4 hours before waking up. But next 4 hours is off and on. Zo 8 hours a night but last 4 are fitful.

Plus I keep having dreams about second wife. Last nights dream we got back together while we were still with are otber spouses. Weirdest part is those are the only dreams I remember. The whole ride so far is weird and annoying.

Enlarged Prostate could be normal. I have had one for a long time. Does not mean that you have a problem. Mine was enlarged because of Test at 1g. Once I came off Test, it went from 50mm to 35mm. As far as sleep is concerned, I am similar. I fall asleep ok, then wake up several times during the night. Closer to morning, its hard to fall back to sleep.

Testicular pain can be caused by prostate issues, enlargement, and even prostatitis. I've had it on and off ever since going on trt. Doc said it was normal and happens in some guys when running test/AAS and/or HCG.

those are exactly the tests you needed, imo. From the endo, I presume? Interested to see how the adrenal function tests come out

I am too. I had this done years ago and nothing unusual was found. I'm leaning towards my prostate, testes and kidneys based on the pain in my upper back. Yes, I got them from endo.

I will post results once I get them on 1Feb.

Not to alarm anyone, but getting the pump checked out at hospital right now. Getting old really sucks ass.

Because of chest pains? Hope you're ok.

chesty
01-18-2016, 08:17 AM
Chest, arm, neck,jaw, upper back and shortness of breath. Luckily all checked out except my neck has pretty advanced arthritis and the vertebrae spacing is reduced. Doctor thinks that you should pinching one or more nerves causing the heart attack symptoms. I never hurt my neck that I can remember. But I will take that over a heart attack.

So no cancer in the nuts. Got something called epidydimitous. Basically the storage sack at top of nuts that stores sperm gets inflamed and that's why they hurt. Prostate is enlarged and for my age don't says it shouldn't be. Plus psa isshould 3.7 which are still on the high side of normal, especially for my age. So we are going to be monitoring it. Also got scrip for flow max. Also giving calls another shot. Alternative is pecker injections at home right before sex. He'll no!

Waiting for endo results. After that it's cardio doc and then back to gastroenteroligist. Oh the joy.

Damn, hold off any surgery if possible. I know two people that had something similar called varicocele. Its tangled and inflamed veins. Both had the minor surgery and are having complications after 10 years. I had double hernia in that area operated on and still have pain to this day. Thats a sensitive area and it doesnt like being operated on lol. I still get the testicle pain after any strenuous activity.

I am on Flowmax right now. Have been since 12/23. It has zapped my strength and its hard to get a pump when working out. I have no choice since I had seed implantation to take care of my Prostate Cancer. I am still having urinary problems so now they bumped the Flowmax to 2 pills a day. My PSA was 3.7 also. The only way to tell that you do not have Cancer is to have a Prostate Biopsy.

I have been off everything for about 6 weeks. I am starting to narrow it down to type II diabetes and gall bladder. My last fasting sugar test was 166 doc is redoing it. I just took my sugar levels about 4 hours after a small candy cane and it was 123. Going to check in am when I get up. If I do got it I'm gonna ask for the medicine that also helps with weight loss get rid of the organ fat. Lol. Guess I am gonna have to reign in my diet for good if I wanna make 100. And I love pizza, bummer.

Saw cardiologist. Abnormal ekg, he said not to worry. Get a stress test, ultrasounds of caratoid arteries in neck, echocardiogram of heart and get to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. Plus its looking like i might have type two diabetes along with high bp. Gotta love getting older��
