Testosterone injections

[mikeyb_23]

I get a weekly injection with B12 also, my wife gets the pellets. Get your wife on it with you, best marriage counseling ever.

Your wife gets the pellets of what? What does the B12 get you?

How does the doctor make money of prescribing testosterone? Are they incentivized to prescribe it over other Rx’s?

I'm not sure these days but years back most people went to a doctor that "specialized" in low T.
I usually don't ever see a family doctor even mention testosterone unless someone is really low.

I’ve often thought about it, 10 years of night shift really f**ked my hormones up. But the guys at work who have done it all seem to be going bald and their faces look about 10 years older than they are. Some of them have gotten pretty jacked though. The cost is another deterrent for me.

The Dr did tell me that I might have some hair loss, I'm practically bald as it is so it didn't bother me.

2 years ago I went for full blood work. Mine was stupid low. Dr Started me at 50 and a month later bumped to 100 weekly. I don't want to nap at 130 anymore.and strong like bull 24/7. Wife does the pellets once a month

As mentioned, best marriage counselor there is. It's like we're 18 and sneaking behind our parents again. It's awesome

B12 is just a vitamin supplement, helps with energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, etc.
My wife gets testosterone pellets about every three months. It does exactly the same thing to them that it does to you. You both have the sex drive of an 18 year old male. I'm not joking about that at all.

Do you sit in doctor’s offices with men with low testosterone and observe the doctor’s recommendations?

Yes, except you no longer panic when the condom breaks.

As I understand it with certain types of prostrate cancer treatments hormone therapy is given to keep a person testosterone levels low to near nothing because testosterone feeds the prostrate cancer cells. In the radiation treatments I just went through I had a test ran that showed results I wouldn’t need hormone therapy in my specific case. Thank goodness. I know there isn’t any information out there that has proven testosterone therapy contributes to cancer. But from what I just went through is enough information for me to not take testosterone shots. But to each their own.

I have heard the same. No T treatments for me.

I had I ejections for a bit but with heavy travel is got annoying to be consistent on day and time. Switched to the cream and it’s been good for the last couple months

I’ve been giving myself Testosterone Cypionate injections for 8 years. Best decision of my life. (I had a medical problem that caused secondary hypogonadism) I give myself a subcutaneous injection of 200 mg in my gluteal area every week. It’s made an amazing impact on my life. Doing the subcutaneous injections 2 times a week is best for a more steady T level but I got tired of 2 shots a week.

Did pellets for 18 months and loved the results….Until my PSA levels drastically increased and had to do a prostate biopsy and now am in active surveillance. You may have no issues, but I’m done with T.

I give myself a weekly shot to keep my level around 800. I also give blood regularly and get blood work every 90 days. I have also read recently where there is no correlation between keeping your test levels at a normal level and psa increases. Also, taking zinc daily helps as well as regular exercise and a good diet. I guarantee a good diet, exercise and less alcohol would help a bunch here!

Take the Xyosted 100 subcutaneous shot once a week. Quick and simple as hell. $105 copay for 90 days supply. $35/mo for the convenience. My levels were dangerously low at 120. Now I’m up in the 750-775 range and feel great all the way around. Years of sluggishness and just not feeling right and that’s all gone. No PSA jump after two years so far for me as I regularly monitor bloodwork. No specialized testosterone doctor or clinic. Just my regular family doctor taking my bloodwork and prescribing it at my initial request.

Like others above, I was sluggish and rundown. I felt and acted like a grumpy old man. My family Dr tested me last year and found my T was extremely low

I give myself shots once a week and I feel great. I work out regularly and feel 20 years younger than my age. My PSA hasn’t increased, but as mentioned above every man has a high risk of prostrate problems, with or without any testosterone shots.

Increased body hair growth is my only complaint. At my age (66 now) I am enjoying life again. I am willing and able do the physical work on the ranch I enjoy.

good luck.

What are those?
