> If you have a deficiency you will need shots or gels for the rest of your life. You will be going to the pharmacy and buying controlled substances (which can cost over $200 a month), which you will have to apply every day for the rest of your life. No showering for 6 hours after applying the gel, which must be removed before having sex. The alternative is to get shots every 1-4 weeks from your doctor's office. These can be painful, and for best results you need them every two weeks or less. And when I say painful, I mean painful. Meanwhile your testes will shrink and you may develop prostate problems, bigger breasts, and a bunch of other problems.
hmm, this doestn't sound very encouraging :-(If the problem is not my testosterone, i might have to take stupid antidepressants for the rest of my life, with no super effects at all. These meds will make me loose or gain weight, may give me rashes, low bloodpressure, wired feeling...
I guess either way i'm not very good off now am i.
You might see it a little to negative. With a stroke of luck, i am in need of a little testosterone now, and maybe after a couple of months or years normal testosterone status is reached, witheout shrinking testikels.
I keep my fingers crossed either way.
