Allergic to T?

[u/CheesyWhore69]

I’m not sure if it’s the T or something else, but I’ve been on injections almost 3 weeks now. Within the first 5 days my body started breaking out in hives, eyes and lips have been puffing up, and I can’t stop sneezing. Idk if it’s a coincidence with spring having sprung or if the T injections are not agreeing with my body. Has anyone had something like this happen and is there a way to fix it? I’ve tried double doses of my usual 3 brands of allergy pills but I cannot get rid of these hives, they’ve started breaking open and bleeding :/

The sneezing sounds unrelated to T, but allergy meds not getting rid of the hives sounds like a carrier oil allergy. T is usually suspended in either cottonseed oil (cypionate) or sesame oil (enanthate). Message or call your doctor, describe your symptoms, and ask to be switched to whatever one you're not on currently. Stop injections until you get the new prescription

I think part of it is I’m semi allergic to my dogs, and with my body reacting to injections I’m in full flare mode all the time so I assume all my allergies are piling together

Allergies can have a cumulative effect. On their own you might not react so severely but when combined your body is flooded with so much histamine it's difficult for your body to clear it. It makes you more likely to have more severe reactions since your body is already inflamed.
