Your thought process on nebido makes sense and is how I felt after reading about it. I like the idea of being able to fine tune things and much faster.
I took the final portion of the study write-up to indicate that no current (at that time / 2005/6) methods of treatment existed in terms of quality of life improvement, which seems odd given everything else that I have read and experienced thus far.
The doc seems to be open and flexible to most anything, but I may have little choice how we get to our final destination.
At the time that study was conducted, and the paper prepared, topical testosterone preparations were unavailable in Japan. It seems clear that one of the goals the authors had in mind was the opening of the Japanese market to such applications. Now, some years later it's clear that topical testosterone fails a reasonable number of men (I am one of them). I am pleased beyond words with what injections have done for me. A well managed protocol can enhance/restore a patient's quality of life...we see it all the time.
