I have had moon face problems for 7 years!!
The water weight is primarily in my face/chin and hips. I have included photos of myself before and after. Before is me in a navy blazer, a few months after is me in a stripey top 7 years ago and the selfie shot in the navy jumper with fat deposits under my chin and on my hip was taken today.
To recap I bought some Deca diboldazol/Nandrolone from an online source 7 years ago and took 2 tablets every day for two weeks in total then I stopped.It was a powder form so it could have been a prohormone or something else I dont know for sure. I knew nothing of steroids at the time being young at stupid at age 20 that I thought I would grow bigger. literally Overnight I got moon face symptoms and the worst area of fat build up was in my hips and face. I eventually did something about it.
Here is a list of what I have tried so far....
I went to the doctor to get bloods and they came back fine.
Iv'e tried at my own accord a low sodium diet and Aromasin/Novaldex pct 12.5mg EOD which I supplemented with milk thistle and fish oil. I kept estrogen stable and crashed it by accident once increasing the dose. 7 tablets per day of N2 guard for one month and still no joy for any of them at eliminating water weight.
I saw an Endocrinologist and the tests all came back normal and now I'm discharged. Here are list of them
24-hour urine collection for adrenaline and non adrenaline, a late night saliva test, low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, prolactin of 147,cortisol 299,testosterone 21, SHBG 36.5, Oestradiol 112, TSH 1.01, T 4 13.6,T3 5.2,FSH 2, LH 4, Creatinine 91, EGFR 87, IGF 22 and normal liver function tests and vitamin D. I also tested negative for cushion's syndrome. I have been ruled out for Acromegaly.
Im currently having an aldosterone/progesterone blood test to check for a benign tumour just in case.
I am also convinced the water retention/fat is all over my body as I take a slightly bigger shoe size and my knee is slightly lumpy. However Some people have said it wouldn't be a moon face issue. After 7 years I'm told the water would have disappeared so I don't know what to think.
I know for sure it is not an aging problem that my face would changed over time. I've seen very fat people and they still dont have what I have.
Other Options I haven't tried yet are a CRT scan (dangerous radiation!!) to see what's going on exactly in the pituitary gland to check for a benign tumour.
Could I take Cardarine to combat the moon face symptom?
I'm out of ideas of how to get rid of this chin fat or am I stuck with it and will need liposuction to get rid of it? I just cant believe i'd need surgery if it's a hormonal issue that gave me this problem in the first place.
I'd be very grateful for all your opinions
