Re: TRT and water retension

[Guest guest]

I gained 10 lbs. of water in my 1st month of TRT also. After that it stopped. I

think it was water anyway, I can't see how it could be muscle, not 10 lbs.

1. Yes

2. It can be.

3. Yes if your BP goes up and your hands and feet swell.

My hands and feet swelled up from Day one been on a water pill that I took 28

yrs to for 25 yrs 2x's a week. Now I am 66 and have heart problems and need

water pills everyday.

Anybody know what causes this? Is it estrogen? Are both of yours high?

When I first went on TRT I don't think to many Dr.'s knew about high Estrogen in

men. I do feel it has a lot to do with it. I take Arimidex everyday now to

keep it down. I test my dose once a month by cutting back on it there times

when I can get by on less every other day. When it starts to go up and I take

more Arimidex I will lose about 5 to 10 lbs of water over night and the next

day.

Yes as it converts the Bad E2 into good E's and your liver wash's it out your

body will dump the water your holding if your holding it.

I actually did put on about 6 to 8 pounds of muscle. I lift weights 4

times a week and have built up my shoulders, arms, legs, and abs. I also do a

lot of cardio 3 times weekly, plus play racquet ball. I walk most

evenings for 45 minutes with a 20 pound weighted vest. I was just wondering

and

concerned with the H2o retension.

If a person mehtlyayion is working properly then yes it can work incredible

well. More so then anything I beleive people with estrogen issues are

unresolved gut or liver imbalances because they can not process estrodial or

estrogens properly. Many people with guy dysbosis I am finding have elevated e2

in the serum. When proper investigate there has been a huge reoocurance of

hidden intestinal imbalance that was brewing. Once this was resolved many of

them where able to discontinue ADEX as well as my self with no side effects what

so ever.

If you are not drinking enough water you will hold it. Getting this much

exercise I pray you give your body the amount of rest it needs to recover the

older we get the more time we need to heal the worked muscles. Drink a lot of

water even put a little Sea Salt in it.
