Hello, I am a 47 year old with hypogonadism and I started out on androderm patches and by the end of the 4th week alot of my symptoms were way better. My symptoms were pretty extreme, energy crashes where I needed to eat lots of food, brain fog was quite extreme, and I had horrible anxiety and depression issues and the usual low energy and weakness that low t gives you. I did quite well with the patches until I got a bad rash from them. Now the endo has switched me to androgel and I still have energy. increased sex drive and ok strength, but I get dizzy and feel a little more brain fog again. I guess what I am saying is I dont know if the gel is as good as the patch or if anyone has had expierence with this and feels injections are better to try or maybe 5 to 6 weeks of treatment just isnt enough time yet to be back to normal. It hard to be patient with this. Please help if you can!!!

Hello, I am a 37 year old male and have been dealing with depression, fatigue, no sex drive, ect. I have been on antidepressents for 3 years now, but just recently 3 months ago I had blood work done and what do know my T level was 154 and that was before 9am. I have had my blood drawn 3 times now and it’s always low. I seems like I keep getting the run around, stay on your medication, exersize , blah, blah, blah. Why is it so hard to get a script for Testosterone replacement therapy.

Hello everyone I am a 40yrs young male and my Dr. told me that my T levels are at 257. Based on my own research, I am supposed to be at the 600 + level. My Dr. put me on Testim which I’ve used for 2 days then stopped and had to start again after 2 days. Today is my second day. I know it takes some time before this starts working, but can anyone give me some advice? I feel horrible (anxious, depressed, no energy, no stamina, fatigued, irritable, moody, etc) and I was not like this until 6 weeks ago. I am waiting for an appointment from a Dr. (Endo) here in RI who is an specialist on Bioidentical hormones and I hope he will be the answer to my unfortunate situation. I was also diagnosed with Thypoperoxidase Antibody (Thyrod issue) and my Dr. told me that they cannot prescribe anything yet until my Thyrod goes empty!! which sounds stupid. Anyways, my Dr. is trying to get me in sooner to see the specialist and hopefully he will give me some Bioidentical hormones for my T and Thyroid.

God bless you all :0)

I have used Testim in the past and its OK. After I finished the Testim – I have been using the Dr Max Powers Testosterone Boost for 4+ years. I absorbing it and the body regulating to the introduction of the hormone takes awhile, at least it did for me. Its also better than taking Testim again.

You seem kind of young for low T levels. I do not want anymore kids, but a sexy wife that’s needs regular servicing. My Doctor did a full blood work up and said my levels are back to normal now. I think its mainly because I took the Testosterone Boost from Dr Max Powers to help maintain the levels. And did so in a healthy way. I know he checked my pituitary, and the results came back OK.

normal worning on tv adds for use of statins for CHOL.
RESEARCH U of Cal about 40 male subjects 600 units a week for 10 weeks injected Muscle Mass Gain prox 13 lbs average and more for those who worked out. My doctor wont do the short term hi dose. My dose is now 100 units in 200 oil each 2 weeks for past months
1-1/2 deep muscle injections, I do not feel the injection 22 needle which is drawn from 200 vial by 18 needle.
I have been at around 100-( HI -T is shown on lab print out 1,138) for years and muscle mass was low not gaining, tired quickly after 1 hour of hard work, exercise eliminated desire to do natural hard work. Latest test print out is July 19 2011. I am only concerned about

i’m 42 and just found out that my t levels are in the toilet,,,total t 120 and free t is at a 2…i just started injectible therapy. from what i’m reading it should not be normal for the rolar coaster feeling. i felt great the first week or so then my mood and sex drive started drop again. i go back to the doc at the end of the week for my next shot,,,i guess what i want to know is how often is too often to get the shots? i really hated the depressed feeling at the end of the “cycle” (for lack of a better term)
