I am 46. Basically have had the Varicose Veins since I was young, and let it go, let it go, let it go. Finally got insurance to cover it about a month or two after starting TRT (more of an overall body improvement)

Right now, my TRT protocol is 2ml per week, though I've recently started breaking that into 1ml Monday morning and 1ml Thursday evening. I am due for blookwork soon, I expect the amount of test-cyp will be decreased at that point.
