RE:Testosterone Shots

I started with shots about a year ago. At 64, I was finding it hard to maintain muscle mass or gaining any. So, definitely getting some better results at the gym, with a bit more stamina. Not dramatic, but moving the right direction. Libido... well, maybe a small bump. Labs showed a big improvement in t levels, but my estrogen levels were high too. Sometimes a side effect. So, started a weekly estrogen blocker pill. That did the trick.

Shots are weekly, I do the thighs, easy enough. Downside? Your balls shrink... like about 40%. I have low hangers no more.

RE:Testosterone Shots

my blood tests are coming up next week .... I will have a question about estrogen level....and maybe a bump up to once a week instead of bi-weekly.....my muscle mass is my problem, muscles are just melting away. Doesn't seem to do much for libido, but that is not my concern, wife doesn't have any desire anyway .....it sucks to get old !

No. I don't feel the need to and know too many people who have had prostate cancer. The treatment for that is all about lowering testosterone levels as that's what the cancer feeds on. So not sure I want to go out of my way to artificially boost those levels.

I am on the gel and it worked wonders for me back to waking up with what youre supposed to wake up with. Mine arrives in a pump and it called testogel I apply it to my shoulder and has been fine for about 10 years.

They might not have done, you body stores excess testosterone in your fat cells so maybe you had built up some store of it. But Im not a doctor just know what I have been told as been on mine for quite some time as my body doesnt produce enough

Having MS, in 2010 I found that "T" can help with and improve health for MS patients- guys and gals. Have used both shots and gel- and I can tell you that the GEL is the best only because you apply it daily. a shot a week and it is like a roller coaster. first you are LANCE ROMANCE and by the end of the 7 days you fell sluggish when that little bit every day adds up and is sustained with the everyday amount. I keep my "t" at 800+ so my MS will not destroy me should I get an attack. You need a doctor that really knows "T" tho- many SAY they do but do not. What counts is the FREE "T"- you can have 1200"T" but not be utilizing 200 of it. So, you need to keep a handle on your hormone spectrum by getting tested every 3 months to insure you are not over "T"ing and just wasting it. It can seem like a magic bullet if you do it right- many do not. so, if you know as much as your doctor- and his knowledge is off the box- RUN,..., LOLOL!!! and find a real Hormone specialist.

If y9ou are having issue in the gym - the bedroom- you need to get serious on the labs. Just because you inject or RUB "T" on you-in you, does not mean you are getting it- all directions of Hormone balance need to happen to make sure your body has FREE "T" available. Even your diet will affect your FREE "T". So if you are depending on supplementation to work for you- there is a lot more effort to this than just bending over and taking it in the ,..., cheek! LOL!!!!
