[QUOTE="Kettlebells, post: 146747, member: 17086"] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of several comorbidities I have to manage. I use CPAP therapy. I used to be much heavier with a higher pressure (14 cmH2O before, now between 9 and 10 cmH20, depending on level of congestion) . I have not noticed a huge increase in OSA symptoms since going on TRT. In fact, for me, weight was more of a problem than TRT. I recently switched from generic Axiron (I had previously been on AndroGel) to testosterone pellets (6x 75mg Testopel, 4x 87.5mg compounded pellets). I worried about a myriad of side effects that are discussed on this forum. However, the urologist that I added to my list of specialists early this year told me that my testosterone levels on topical testosterone were a large part of the reason why erections were hit or miss with and without PDE5is (his specialty in this large practice is male sexual health). So far, I am still in the honeymoon phase of pellet therapy, but all I can say is "wow, just wow!" My blood glucose readings are lower. I have experienced no negative changes with respect to sleep. The bloating I worried about has not appeared. If anything, I have dropped water weight since switching to pellets from topical testosterone. However, the most amazing thing is that I can now get and maintain a very firm erection even without a PDE5i. My girlfriend is completely amazed by the changes in the bedroom, and she is a medical professional. What this experience has taught me is that no two people react to the same combination of therapies the same way. Our SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) play a large role in how we respond to different therapies. [/QUOTE]
