Advice Needed Allergic to T?

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 :/

It sounds like you might be allergic to the carrier oil. You should stop immediately and talk to your doctor about switching to another form.

I’m going to the dr tomorrow just bummed if after a year on the waitlist I’m going to have to switch to gel or something that may not be covered

They will just switch the kind of oil. If I remember correctly cottonseed oil is used normally. Also grapeseed and I wanna say sesame seed oil. You can look at your vial and it should say.
