Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 So none of the creams or pellets are good? What if I have a reaction to it like I do the gels? > > > > Hello, so i am still trying to sort through my thryoid issue but i also have testosterone issue.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Bruce, If you try pellets make sure they give you enough most of us trying them only last a month on them and the cost is very high. Dr.'s that use them don't give enough for me I need 1500 mgs of Pellets put in. They sell them in 200 mgs pellets but Dr.'s will not do this they want you coming back every 4 to 6 weeks taking your money. To me Pellets is the highest costing forum of TRT out there. Some men see Dr.'s from http://www.sottopelletherapy.com/ And have good luck on them. I can tell you with your Thyroid problems your skin is to thick to let the Patch or gels even creams let the Testosteorne from them into your blood through your skin. Men with Thyroid problems get a thicker skin. If I were you figuer out why your T levels are low first if it can be fixed fix it retest see if your T levels go back up. If not go on shots starting with 100 mgs / week have your Dr. show you how to do them your self. I do mine into my thigh using a small 27g 1ml. x 1/2 " lg. needle works great.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I feel your reaction is due to your levels going lower. When we have a thicker skin doing the patch or gels even creams enough gets trough the skin to let the brain see the T going into your blood. Yet it's not enough but enough for your brain to slow down sending the LH and FSH message to your testis so they stop making the T you were making before the med. I have seen men with levels at 275 go on gels and it's the starting dose 5 grams there brain would see this stop telling there testis to make T and end up lower then they started. Some only needed more then the starting dose of 5 grams most did better on 10 grams.
