My experience is that the sweating and night sweats will diminish and disappear after a few months - although you may, like me, find that your thermostat has been reset and that you now run a bit "hot" all the time.
Bloat also goes away after a bit.
I just don't get "sick" any more, i.e., I don't get all the annoying symptoms of flu, bronchitis, colds, even if I get the infection; I just feel tired. I often don't realize I've even got something until it's gone and the lethargy lifts; recently eg. I had an unsuspected respiratory infection of which I wasn't really aware until it was over and I expectorated a glob of green stuff one morning and the lethargy I had been feeling and that I had attributed to overtraining evaporated.
Bodyfat should start going down.
Anyway, sounds like your ride is going well so far. Enjoy
Great input from someone who has already been through all the initial stages of this process. Thanks a ton!

Digging the rundown of what your observing Burly. Not neccesarily looking forward to TRT, but this log will make me feel more comfortable when and if go this route.
You may be surprised at how renewing she finds it when your mojo returns. It might be like a new discovery and she may dig the return in passion and intimate attention more than what you think.

Case in point: My soon to be ex-wife. Her sex drive had essentially died on the vine. She never sought it out from me. I had to get it from her and there was zero passion, zero energy and it was akin to using a sex doll (I can assume, never actually done that). But when I was amped up on Dermacrine and Epi, I was very alpha and my level of libido and passion was greatly altered and different enough from the norm that she responded to me differently during that timeframe. It seemed to 'fix' her to a certain degree.
Sadly, the libido issues for her got worse and it was a major impediment for our marriage, but I think you may be surprised at how she takes the new you, so to speak.
No doubt, it would add in a new element to our relationship. Her drive was very low, even when we first married. As she got older and into her mid 40s, that changed around. By then it was too late for me to perform. I'm fortunate that we have good communication and though we hope for an improvement in that area, we know that if it doesn't arrive, we will be ok. We've already survived the current circumstance in our marriage.
Burley, i am similar to you in that any exo hormone seems to give me increased sweating, especially at night. I have never explored the reasons why, but probably because i spent my time more wisely, like saying sorry to the gf for having her wake up in it lol.
Oddly enough, alcohol does the same to me, maybe even worse. After a big night out i will often wake up soaked in a cold sweat.
I never have to apologize to her, since my 100+ lb rottweiler sleeps in between the two of him. And he doesn't seem to mind. lol.
As far as sweating, in the past I have often experienced (even without any hormonal products) what I've always believed to be a metabolic "ramping up" upon sleeping. Sometimes this also happens if I am only taking a nap. I will wake up very warm, and sometimes sweating. It also seems to happen most frequently when I have eaten a large meal prior to sleeping. I always eat before bed, but the size of the meal will vary.
I want to add to this, but I don't know enough about TRT. So I'll just sit and quietly read your updates.
