My T levels crashed on Androgel

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with low T. last April. I was prescribed Androgel because my

testosterone was measured at 317. At that low level, I had virtually no libido,

ambition, drive or aggresion. Initially the Androgel worked fabulously well for

me. On 8 pumps a day my levels got up to 1,000, and then lowered to between

770-830. It was obviously absorbing well and I felt better than I had in years!

By October my levels were down to 475. I started to feel less well, but not

terrible. My endocronologist said he wanted me between 550-600 and to 'wait and

see.'

The last two months I have felt absolutely dreadful. I nap during my lunch hour,

I drag around, my anxiety level is horrible and my libido is so non-existent I

can't even maintain an erection when receiving oral sex, which is embarassing

for both myself and my wife (she feels undesirable). All this time, I am still

on 8 swipes a day.

Last week I had another blood test. I knew I was low again because of all the

old symptoms returned. I was shocked when my level was 114!!!

The endocronologist had the nerve to say, " Let's wait 2 more weeks for another

blood test to confirm this low level. " All the while I feel like absolute

garbage. I know he'll want to put me on Testim, but I cannot stand the smell of

that, nor can my wife. He's already told me my HMO while only give t. shots as

" a last resort. "

I can't continue to live like this... sexless, feeling like a neuter and riddled

with anxiety and depression. Any suggestions on what I should say to demand my

right to get t. shots? Thanks in advance.
