The big problem was getting tested and finding out what was wrong. They never tested me for low T. I was told after testing me for low Iron, then CFS that I was suffering from Major Depression. I had to go along with this because I was on sick leave from work. This shit went on for 5 yrs and I was doped up on ever kind of AD drug on the market. When Prozac came out they put me on this and in less then 2 weeks I could not reach an orgasm and my voiding slowed down to a crawl. I got a bad bladder infection and was sent to see a Uro.
This Dr. checked me front to back top to bottom and told me I am not suffering from Depression but have low T. Hell this Dr. saved my marriage and job. Just before this happened my Job and BCBS asked the Dr. that was treating me for Depression why I was not getting better and this ass hole told them I liked being Depressed and no treatment would work. This caused me problems with my job and my wife left and filed for a divorce.
I was so messed up on the drugs they had me on that I had to go into Re-Hab for 30 days to get me off the dam AD drugs.
At the time this Uro could only give me Testosterone pills the kind they give to women. I was taking a lot of them and getting my liver checked every 2 weeks. Thank God the shot came out later I went on 300 mgs every 4 weeks and was back to work after being on sick leave more then I was at work for 5 yrs. My wife and I got back and the story goes on. I have been on pellets, patchs first the ones you put on your testis. What a trip then patchs that you put on your arms, chest, sides, legs and anywhere you could find. You see you could not put the patch on the same spot for 7 days. Then the gels come out.
Doing this for 3 yrs I became crippled with joint and muscle pain. Just 15 months ago I had such bad back and leg pain I could hardly walk. My Dr. felt it was Arthritis but it was the gels. The T did not get into my joints and muscles so they were breaking down. When I switched to shots in less then a month I was out walking for exercise. But my levels doing 150 mgs. of Depo T were only 650 my E2 was not a big problem. Adding HCG 500 IU's 3 x's a week by the end of my 15th shot we did a blood
test I was feeling so dam good I could not believe it. My
test came in my T levels doubled I went from 650 to 1087 my range is not like everyone's my range is 262 to 1598 so 1087 putts me up in the upper 1/3 of my labs range. Last yr. walking 3 days a week for an hour and going to the gym and working out 2 hrs. 3 days a week I lost over 65 lbs.
But this winter I was down with Bronchitis for over 3 months not able to go to you gym and put on 30 lbs. I just last week started back to walking again and when I get my wind back doing this I will be back in the gym.
