Low T

[TxsBuda]

Who's dealing with it and what are you taking for it?

I've tried Androgel - powerful smell, Shots - pain in the arse to remember to take. The last thing I want to be reminded of is a shot, Axiron - too messy when applied under the arm.

My buddy is on a something called Testopill. There's an incision and some kind of pellet is inserted. Says it lasts about 6 months.

Has anyone just not done anything about it? If so, how are you getting by?

Again, I've take all of these but can't stay on it for one reason or the other. I've been playing golf and doing really well. Energy seems fine. I do, however, on some days just feel like sleeping. Maybe I should get back on it.

I give myself a shot every Friday morning. Nothing to it.

I've done really well on it so far. Been 3 years or so.

I shoot .5cc Testosterone Cyp w/1cc B complex every 7 days.

j/w but how many people taking this are considered overweight?

Androgel and other topicals have dangerous side effects and are currently in a class action lawsuit. Pills are dangerous as well because of the harm that they cause your liver. The only way to deal with it safely is to inject pure test every week. I have been injecting Cypionate every week for over 2 years and it is not that big of a deal, it takes 2 minutes to do and if you do it at the same time every week it becomes very routine.

This is not a treatment for weight loss. It is for low test levels that effect your mode, energy level, sex drive, metabolism, ability to build muscle, ect.

See avatar. Ive put on a bit of a belly again, but that doesn't seem to sway my levels one way or the other. If that is your angle.

When I started treatment I had the T of a 70 year old at 30.

At the same time I also learned I was diabetic and my thyroid had crapped out.

I was at an endocrinologist not a low t clinic or family physician.

Thanks for informing me of the pill form. So even if having them make and incision and injecting the pill could be harmful to the liver? Man, I wouldn't want that.

I have the drive, if you guys know what I'm talking about and I enjoy golf and hunting, but it's those times that I'm just low on energy that I can't seem to break the funk.

My numbers have been in the 70's and I hear I should be over 300 to 400. Guess I'll go back to the shot. Thanks all.

ive been rubbing on Testim to treat it but I haven't really noticed much difference. Maybe I need the once a week shot. I'll inquire with my dr.

I don't know if the implant pellets are hard on the liver like the pills are but I do know that they say they are supposed to last 6 months but everyone I know that used them said they did not last near that long and the levels were inconsistent.

I had a level of 132 when I started from messing around with to much OTC junk when I was younger. I was just always tired and could not keep the belly fat down. Now I have lots of energy, I sleep less like when I was young and build muscle like I did at 20.

[M.E.B.]

I have been on Androgel for about 4-5 yrs. I have never noticed a smell but I have worked in an oil refinery for the last 34 years.

I changed from my PCP and am now going to an Urologist. I need to schedule a follow up appointment soon.

When I went to my Dr. I was feeling sluggish, tired. All I wanted to do was sit on the couch. I had no driver or ambition. I did not even feel like hunting that year.

I am not feeling like superman or like a 25 yr old, I am 55, but I at least feel like getting out of the bed in the morning and am looking forward to deer season.

What are you T levels now?
have you got tested?

remember its not the total T level, its the Free T in your body. you can be 900 but if you free test is 10...then your gonna feel like ****.

its a balancing act...you have to find the sweet spot for your body...everyone has one. you can take a shot of test once a week at 100ml when you really need 120ml.

Test binds to a lot of things in the body...maybe your estrogen levels are high...get that checked out to. Estrogen will rob your T big time!
