I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis 16 years ago. I've been taking humira or enbrel shots every other week for that entire time. Those medications worked very well for me and I basically live symptom free. I've been on T injections for a few months now because my total T was barely over...

Just an update for those who commented to this post. Once I stopped androgel and returned to my normal levels, we retested my blood to find that my free testosterone was at a 6 first thing in the morning. Doctor started me on 50mg of T injections per week and wow I feel so much better. No...

Jetspider, thanks for the reply. I've never experienced heart palpitations prior to the trt. This endocrinologist appears to be supportive of trt but he is waiting on my body to get to its normal level, test my blood and then determine whether I have primary or secondary hypogonadism. I'm...

Trouble began on week 2 and there has been zero change so far. Symptoms have been going on for 9 days total

Today is my 4th day without it

I packet per day. 40.5 MG of testosterone (2.5 grams of gel)

Hello, I'm in need of an explanation or support to resolve a problem relating to my trt experience. I'm 45 years old today, 6ft 1in, 165lbs, very fit, low body fat, excellent cardio with physical activity. I was diagnosed with low testosterone with a total testosterone level of 127. My...

Once I get my wind back, we'll start again with a lighter approach. Right now I can't walk across a parking lot without being completely out of breath so I need to resolve that first

I saw a reputable endocrinologist today, he instructed me to stop trt. I've only been on it for about 3 weeks. I'm extremely short of breath and still having a few palpitations. Hopefully this is a side effect of the testosterone and not something more serious. He wants to do a full blood workup...

Thanks fellas. I'm looking forward to getting the most out of trt. Biggest change I've seen so far is that I'm sleeping better than ever before. No libido changes yet but it's very early in this journey

That's comforting to hear that it's not uncommon. I'm assuming that they went away in time?

I currently use 1 pk of androgel 1.62% but going to try using 1/2 a pk for a few days. The prescribing doctor hasn't been very forth giving with information so I'm switching to a new doctor as soon as I can get in. My current doctor suggest that I just live with the 117 level of testosterone...

45 years old, very active and fit. My energy has been depleted and libido has been non existent. Turns out my level was 117. I'm on my 2nd week of androgel 1.62%. I'm seeing some energy changes but dealing with heart palpitations now. Hoping to ride it out and enjoy life with normal levels

I don't have my blood work but I'm calling a reputable endocrinologist tomorrow to let him handle my trt from here forward. I'll be getting all of my blood work then and I'll post it. Thanks

Hello, new to this forum but I thought it would be a good place to start. I'm 45, in very good shape but struggled to get through each day. I see a rheumatologist and he found my testosterone to be at 117. I've been on androgel for 2 weeks and my heart flutters several times a day causing me to...
