[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 225059, member: 42988"] I did try Testopel years ago. Though the labs looked great, zero response. But I'm not negative about pellets. My urologist, with decades of experience, added pellet therapy to his practice but still prescribes injections, gels, compounded creams. I talked with men six years ago on peaktestosterone.com who had excellent response to pellet therapy and that included taking an ai to manage E2, which improved one man's response. I find many men sharing their problems 'dialing in' their injection protocols, forever tweaking it, changing it, stopping it or adding ancillaries and supplements. There are many abstracts and personal experiences regarding subq but for me, I don't feel it and I've tried it several times. We don't always hear success stories, whether on IM, subq, cream or pellets. On here, we do hear success stories, which are wonderful to read. It gives those of us who are treatment outliers, hope. And I tend to suspect there are more success stories with pellets than we know. Dr. Kathy Maupin in St. Louis found personal success with pellet therapy and then devoted her whole practice to pellets, exclusively, for men and women. Yes, it's surgery. Yes, if you pay out of pocket, pricey, but if you have insurance, it's covered. If Medicare approves something, private insurers follow suit. The one gripe I've heard is how much money a doctor makes from the procedure. So what? If it helps you, you're not going to gripe. You'll be glad your insurance covered it. And if you can afford to pay out of pocket and get some reimbursement from your insurance, icing on the cake. Being down in the mouth about pellets doesn't help someone seeking advice. And even if it failed to help you, it doesn't mean it won't help someone else. [/QUOTE]
