[QUOTE="Tman, post: 141219, member: 22394"] I switched from creams to injections because of the fluctuations. I know you are going the other way, and I hope you find relief. As a fellow low SHBG guy, lower dose injections are probably your best bet with a focus on free T numbers and estrogen management. What was cream like... My base is 160ish...verified by bloodwork... 2 hours after dosing= 1200 T red face, flush 12 hours after dosing= 400 high blood pressure and just didn't feel right 24 hours after dosing= 180 and back to normal low T I could not benefit from any of the process due to the side effects, and I could not manage my T with an AI because in the wide swing in my variations. Back to the injections: Anything over 22 mg EOD in one dose causes side effect swings for me. At that dose, I still need an AI (I've given up on not using an AI due to extreme side effects, so the anti AI crowd--just save it). Because my body is so reactive and clears quickly, .125 draws me down to quickly and lets my estrogen spike back up. What works for me, I empty about 1/2 to 3/4 of the compounded AI out of the capsule and take it about every 3 days. (bloating, blood pressure up, clogged head, allergy symptoms, ears ringing= take 1/3 to 1/2 of .125/ clogged head, allergy symptoms- 1/3/ watery eyes only- take 1/4. This keeps me in a somewhat decent zone, but I don't feel like I am on testosterone. I continue to take T because of the health benefits not the feeling of T that some express. Hopefully something will connect with you and your journey will take less time than mine. It's taken me almost a year to find a new normal. [/QUOTE]
