They were the first to ask "how to do you feel?", and looking into side effects. since then I moved and have been having problems with Drs again. I am starting on Dr #2 and new location. The first was a female who had<br /> no concern for Male well being. Her answer to Testicular atrophy was to get implants. She only looked at Bioavailable Test and not total. which you know is not accurate enough to make absolute decisions from. it is thrown off many a number of things. She also believes men don't have problems with estrogen and will not prescribe an AI.

By switching to Testim, the daily dose actually dropped. Even so my Test was already too low even with Androgel. So I went to APS pharmacy because I had read about it on PozHealth. So now I use a compounded cream (200mg/ml) applied via<br /> TopiClick device so I don't end up with cream all over my hands, and instead goes to where it should be. Only problem is that APS messes up my prescription almost every time. (I've been with them about a year and a half and have only had one proper delivery of the proper form in the right delivery system).

The results were wonderful--increased energy, speedy recovery from workouts, clearer thinking, frequent morning erections, and heightened libido. I got my second pellet insertion in May 2016. I maintained positive results in almost all areas, but I took a hit in my sex life. I started to experience ED and loss of penis sensitivity. My orgasms are also not as strong. Since then, I have started using tadalafil and it has helped. I am able to have erections without tadalafil, but my orgasms are still not as strong as they used to be.

I move every couple of years and find it difficult to get good Drs. I went through 3 before I found Wellness Clinic that I liked. They were the first to ask "how to do you feel?", and looking into side effects. since then I moved and have been having problems with Drs again. I am starting on Dr #2 and new location. The first was a female who had no concern for Male well being. Her answer to Testicular atrophy was to get implants. She only looked at Bioavailable Test and not total. which you know is not accurate enough to make absolute decisions from. it is thrown off many a number of things. She also believes men don't have problems with estrogen and will not prescribe an AI. Needless to say, I reported her.

[/TD] [TD]1/17/2015 3:10 PM [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]54 [/TD] [TD]I use Testosterone Cypionate compounded in grapeseed oil. I have been on TRT since 2007 and have titrated from 100mg per week to 175mg per week to maintain between 700-900ng total T. [/TD] [TD]1/22/2014 2:09 PM [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]55 [/TD] [TD]I liked the even dosing of the patches, but I developed skin irritation at the sites of the patches. Androgel sweated off in hot weather, so absorption was not regular. The doctor prescribed shots every two weeks, but the up and down energy swings were too dramatic for me. Now I give myself a weekly shot of 0.6 cc. Sometimes I forget for a day or two, so I would prefer less frequent shots. [/TD] [TD]6/9/2011 10:10 PM [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]56 [/TD] [TD]I used Androgel first. Then my insurance decided to stop paying for Androgel (Blue Cross, Blue Shield of MA) and I switched to Testim. I prefered Androgel because it came in a convenient pump (I was pumping 4x/day). By switching to Testim, the daily dose actually dropped. Even so my Test was already too low even with Androgel. So I went to APS pharmacy because I had read about it on PozHealth. So now I use a compounded cream (200mg/ml) applied via TopiClick device so I don't end up with cream all over my hands, and instead goes to where it should be. Only problem is that APS messes up my prescription almost every time. (I've been with them about a year and a half and have only had one proper delivery of the proper form in the right delivery system). I would actually prefer a multi-day cream or gel that I can apply once a week or so. But due to the nature of the product, I doubt that this will come to pass. [/TD] [TD]4/19/2011 2:48 PM [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]57 [/TD] [TD]I've been using Androgel for many years. I'm happy with the results.
