[QUOTE="Michael D, post: 183709, member: 41091"] I have been using testosterone cyp injections for the last 6 years to treat low T levels. I inject 0.66 ml once per week. I recently had to get a new Dr. because my regular GP retired. I live on the Big Island, where it is very hard to find good doctors. Long story short, my new Doc ordered lots of tests when he took me on and he found raised levels of hemoglobin (18.3) and hematocrit (54.6). Once diagnosed I started lots of reading, and this site has been very helpful. But there is so much material to wade through, and the topic is controversial even among the medical community. But I can say I have had a lot of headaches and ringing in my ears, and I already have marginally high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol (take Lipitor). I'm wondering if the erthrocytosis/polycythemia is the cause? If these raised levels are the cause, will I feel better after my first phlebotomy (I'm scheduled for 3, 3 weeks apart). I go for my first phlebotomy in a few days, and the doc is wanting to stop my TRT. I do NOT want to stop TRT, since it has really improved my quality of life. I haven't read many success stories in managing this problem and staying on T. Can anyone tell me if/how they manage this problem? I'm not new to TRT, so I don't think I will "stabilize." Has anyone switched to a gel and had success, or AVEED (yikes, that's expensive)? [/QUOTE]
