[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 266002, member: 38594"] And here is a 3rd opinion. Your T and free T seem low so trying transdermal testosterone is reasonable. I would go with pharma grade Androgel because its absorption has been studied unlike compounded creams. I have a normal T and a low normal free T (due to a high SHBG). I've tried Androgel for a few months - it boosted my testosterone but did not give me any benefits after the initial few weeks of "honeymoon", so I dropped it cold turkey at the end. It did not have a negative effect on anything afterwards, so from my experience it is unlikely to cause lasting side effects - just make sure you don't overdose it. Do regular monitoring testing of the free T level while you are on it, don't fly blind to super high levels - testicular application will lead to those. If it doesn't help your fatigue and brain fog, really you should look for the cause in other directions - cortisol level, immune status, vitamin status, signs of infections, intestinal infections (stool test) etc. [/QUOTE]
