[QUOTE="Ranger100, post: 103310, member: 17928"] Hello All, Background: 65 year old male, low thyroid, narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Celiac disease, (treated and clear from Lyme's disease. In the past year treated for "a Diagnosis of a non typical prostrate cancer" 8+ weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. Thank GOD all clear one year later. TRT now I started 50mg Androgel per day for 5 weeks lab test. Then increased to 75mg per day and I will test again end of this month. 1. Not noticing major changes, fatigue in a little better, morning erections not yet - just increase size in the am. [U]I can hardly imagine a new normal erection! [/U] 2. I'm thinking that I will need 100 - 150 mg of Androgel a day to get where I should be. [B]Question:[/B] Does the increase of "T" blood levels "jump suddenly" with these 25mg increases of Androgel? [B]Question[/B]: Anyone have a problem getting their doctor to keep increasing dose to a good level for them? [B]Question: [/B]Is the increase in the "morning" size a step in the right direction/hopeful sign? I'm thankful I had a non typical diagnosis and can be treated with "T". Although I believe that low T is a risk factor for "C". I'm posting my last 3 labs. I realize there are a number of other test that should be done...but considering my history I'm thankful I can get the "T" treatment. [U]One note: I know my "T" was declining for 6-8 years before radiation and chemotherapy. This last round of treatment really knocked it out... [/U] Sincerely and thanks!
