Hi,
You are on Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) since june 2012 and has various issues like 2 episodes of dizziness, constant painless red flush of neck and chest, white inner eyelids, pale nails, cold intolerance and wants to know if its related to TRT.
TRT is related to increase in "red cell count" but none other symptoms are related to TRT.
They may be related to "THYROID HORMONE IMBALANCE" and need to checked for that.
Thanks. Hope it helps.
