    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    I want to thank all of you for your help and concern. I have thought about it all day. I think that you are right. I don't think that I should take 400mg a week. I think that I should take 100mg every 3.5 days like you suggest. How can I find a doctor in the Chicago area that I can trust...

    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    I would like to donate blood but Lifesource place won't take mine because of all the weird places I have been deployed to over the last 10 years, I have had a number of Tattoos, and I am over 50. I wish I knew of someone who would take my blood. It seems like such a waste to not donate.

    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    Well that is what I am going to do starting this week. The doctor wants me to try doing 200mg twice a week at home, Tuesday night and Friday morning. I will do that. And I am willing to do it for life if that what it takes.

    Anyone know of a doctor in or around Chicago?

    Hello Nate: I live in one of the South Suburbs of Chicago as well. I have been going all the way into Downtown Chicago to a Fu Fu chic "salon" called the Tiffani Kim Institute at 310 W. Superior. They have a Men's Health group there that treats ED and does Testosterone Replacement Therapy. I...

    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    To answer some of the questions you guys have asked. When I was using the Androgel 1% gel I was using 6 pumps per day or 7.5 grams. This got my level up to 400. My endocrinologist was happy with that. I still felt very bad. When I started with the TRT clinic about three months ago they...

    BTW: The reason that I am up this late at night is that I am just trying to hold on for another 6.5 hours until I get my weekly testosterone injection from the Men's health clinic.

    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    Hello Mega: Thank you for your reply. I had read that overview and I noticed that the writer was not enamored with the pellets - but his reasons were the expense and the pain. Since my insurance is going to pay for the pellets, (up to 4 times a year), cost is not the driving consideration for...

    Pellets vs Injection vs Gel

    Has anyone out there had experience with Pellets? I was diagnosed with very low T about 1 year ago. My endocrinologist put me on Androgel. At first it was 5 pumps per day, then it was 7. This got me into the lower end of the "normal" range. I did not feel any better but I did notice that I...
