Patches keep falling off

My patches keep falling off. Has anyone elsa had this problem? What did you do about it?

This was the problem I had with them so I used a baby wipe to get the oil off my skin first. This works so dam good that I could not get the glue off. I hated the patch it left a red rash on me that needed meds to heal before 7 days were up and I would be back to that area again.

Thanks for reply. BTW, thanks for sending the link to tune up your T, I have an appointment with a doctor fropm there but it's not until june.
When you say baby wipe, you mean like the ones used to clean them during diaper change?

What are you on now and is it better?
Thanks again

I went from the patch to the gels started on Androgel first then when Testim came out used that. I could not get my levels up high enough and started getting sore joints and muscles hell my back was so bad I had a hard time walking. I read Dr. John's site and showed this to my Dr. and told him I needed to try this now I feel the best in all the 22 yrs on TRT. His site is at www.allthingsmale.com read TRT : A Recipe for Success and his HCG Update. I now do Depo T shots every 3 days 64 mgs. and 250 IU's of HCG the day before I do the T shot. If you change from the patch try the gels I would still be on them and may try going back on them because I was not doing HCG on the Gels.

Yes get wipes like the ones for baby's

Know what? I am having joint aches also. It was worst when I was on Crestor, but now it has started again and I am on the patches and prozac only.

I have a rule I got from this link.
http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcls-...prtcl-130.html
In this is states your Total and Free T levels should be in the upper 1/3 of your labs range for a young man. And that your Estradiol should be between 10 to 30 for any age man. What are your levels and why Prozac.

I have not had my T restested, but it was very low (free T was about 4 (12-25 range). On the second test it was 13, and that was the last test. My doctor never tested estriadol. I have been treated by my primary care doctor and ge didn't know anything about the estriadol. I took a copy of the protocols and he agreed I'd better gio to an expert. I have the appointment for June 8. I called this new doctor's office and they were not very forthcoming about information, but did say that he uses patches and injections. I will be taking a copy of the protocols I found here. (My PCP made a copy of them for his own reading).
I know if I am able to stay on T it will make a big diffference for me. The longest I've been able to stay on it was 4 weeks anmd was beginning to feel great, then I got very depressed. I went on prozac after I first tried T, was on it for 8 days and became extremely depressed, went to a psych and he prescribed prozac. Hopefully I will not need it if this testosterone thing works out.
