Going on 5th year of prescribed TRT with Endo at big hospital a few hours away, been working out pretty regular since the start of finding out my T was low. Was stalled out with low levels and as I got on my regimon things began moving up weight wise. I'm not huge, I'm not strong like many on here but bigger and stronger than I've ever been in my life and past year been hearing stuff from people I don't see often about growing and whatnot like we've all heard..no biggie
So yesterday Operation manager, nice guy but eats like a glutinous pig and supervisor walk by my machine cell, supervisor checking on some parts I'm supposed to run and op manager pulls me aside, "hey, I was talking to somebody we both know and I mentioned now that my hip surgery is done and I'm thru rehab I need to get going to lose some weight so I can really rehab it like I want. And this person said, hey you need to go talk to "me", and get what he's on. So then I asked him, what's "me" on, and he said Steroids." convo stopped briefly as I looked at his with a WTF look, are you ****ing kidding me? and he had called supervisor over by waving his hand and said "come here, I need a witness for this" (I work in a union shop so everything has to have 2 people involved or it's just hearsay and his word against mine. So now my Spidey senses are on full alert because it just took a bad turn IMO. Supervisor shows up, and ops manager explains what we're talking about, then looks at me and asks, "so you take steroids, how do you go about it, do you think it will help me lose some weight?"
I shook my head and said
1. I'm not on steroids, I'm on HRT or TRT depending what you wish to call it
2. If that's a steroid then every man and woman in this company is on "steroids" since we all have the hormone testosterone flowing through our body
and 3. no, as much body fat as your carrying, getting on any form of low testosterone treatment, especially if you don't medically require it, will pack on even more body fat since higher synthetic testosterone LOVES to convert itself into Estrogen, which will pack more fat on ya without a closely monitored aromatase inhibitor which I've never heard of a doctor around here prescribing any local TRT patients I know.
So then the situation kind of diffused a bit and supervisor started asking about Low T, symptoms, if it helps this or that yada yada so I explained quick as I could, it involved my journey and how it came to be, what I have to do every week yada yada.
Anyhow, Ops manager then ratted out "the guy", "you know who told me right? it was "blah blah" who just happens to be on our unions committee. So today I made it a point to tell some of the "bro's" to watch what they say around "blah blah", then told the steward to have "blah blah" come see me what he gets time. Once Blah blah showed up I gave him a tounge lashing about running his ****ing mouth talking about shit he knows zero about and trying to cost me my job, so please refrain from trying to act educated about my medical condition when you don't know shit about shit. then he was "oh, they were just messing with ya, they were just playing" and I got flabbergasted, I said really blah blah, you know as well as I do when they ask for a witness shit just got real regardless of how big or small the situation is, they weren't just joking, but played it off well once I had to explain my medical condition to them which, btw, maybe I'll talk to HR and see if you violated any HIPPA laws against me spreading my medical condition and we can see if they're just playing when we go downtown and YOUR job is on the line.
He got solemn and apologized real quick..****ing asshat
