How often do you inject? I found my it felt like my levels dropped off really fast approaching the 7th day after my shot. So I started injecting weekly, and it made a huge difference. Also if you can try to nap in the afternoon, and try not to sleep more than 9 hours in a night. Puberty sucks and will make you tired. You may not notice the changes, but your body is changing drastically internally!
I'm always tired too! I sleep for 10 hours and can't even get through my 5 hour work days. And I have NO motivation to do anything. All I do is mope around. And I have days when I'm super irritable and depressed and then a day or two later I'm totally fine. It's such a frustrating roller coaster.I feel so unproductive. I haven't found a fix yet :/
@porkynix glad to know i'm not the only one. how long have you been in this phase? mine has been affecting my job also, as well as school. do you do anything to help gain energy?
@orlandosays When you get your blood work done make sure your doctor checks your iron levels. Lots of us transguys have to take iron supplements, and that really helps with energy levels.
@orlandosays If anything, I work out just to break it off. Once I feel it coming, I do something tiring. Somehow it makes me feel that I'm lethargic because of the work done. Plus it gets some muscle development too so that's hitting two birds with one stone.
@Transmorgan11 same here my brother. i absolutely hate it! i'm going to get to the bottom of it next week, i'm hoping it's nothing serious. i thought T was suppose to give you more energy not lethargy. =/ the anger is understandble, not so much for constantly being tired.
@orlandosays If you find anything out please let me know. These symptoms are interfering with job and school and it sucks. I'm actually giving two weeks notice tomorrow because I can't handle working any more :/
Hey- seems I started T right around the same time as you. (I started in the very end of August 2011. I'm 7 months on T now.) Sorry you're feeling so tired. Just wanted to say hi. All my videos are unlisted, but if you ever want to chat, just PM me. :)
@ottawatransguy i inject 100mg every two weeks but when i see my doctor i'm going to see about doing them every week instead, but 50mg instead of 100. i can't do 100 every week due to the small vial the place is required to give, so i'm limited to 200mg a month (two shots a month). sucks but that's what it is. also i do nap during the day and it doesn't help, even with minimum hours at night.
I can relate with the lethargic phase. I've been feeling it too. Got to the point where it affected my job; ended up quitting to find a new one.
