Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I was having absorbtion problems with androgel so my doctor switched me to testim. Has any body else had this problem and/or has anyone had good results with testim? Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Rick, I moved to Testim for the same reasons. My T level was only dropping while on AG. I tried for 2 months, and my T level was aroung 95. I used the Testim for 2 months noticed some difference (on one tube) and tried 2 tubes for 2 weeks. I felt GREAT on 2 tubes. My T level was 512 after 1 month on 1 tube of Testim. I am going back to my Endo in 2 weeks and want to be put back on 2 tubes for 1 month and get rechecked. Where were you applying the AG? Where are applying the Testim? I believe the location makes a big difference. Nickso > I was having absorbtion problems with androgel so my doctor switched > me to testim.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I was applying the androgel to my upper arms, shoulders, and some to my abdomen. I am applying the testim to my upper arms and shoulder. One tube of testin and I had my first erection in two weeks. Sweet.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Congrats !!!! From what I read, be careful about applying on the more fatty parts of your body. I started applying to the upper parts of my inner legs. I have two small kids and the older loves to get on my shoulders.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I was on both I liked Testim better it worked better my levels were higher. The difference is with Testim you put in on your upper arms and shoulders and down your back as far as you can reach. Then rub it in well let it dry good and then put on a shirt. No rubbing on gels will not make your muscles bigger but the T levels getting up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range for a young man will. Phil Ody <dragonslayer1010@...> wrote: Hi all.

Also is anyone aware if the musles you rub it on get more effects of the testosterone, such as putting it on your bicepts and shoulders to improve their size and strength? Just wondering.I excersize and lift weights. I don't expect any muscles to improve without some work. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Rubbing it on in a certain area is not going to make those muscles bigger. but you are supposed to put testim on your upper arms and shoulders, DO NOT put on testicles or abdomen. I found that for a best absorption rate take a shower and use a loofa or something rough to scrub your arms and shoulders with while in hot water. That removes the top layer of dead skin and the hot water rushes blood to the surface and opens your pores allowing more medication into your bloodstream. Just remember that out of that 50mg you only get roughly 10% of that into your body so about 5mg. (Yeah that sucks) but I can still tell a difference. Biggest thing if you are trying to grow from working out, try to hit the gym in morning thats when your nat reg test is a highest level. And eat 1gm protein per body pound. You need a positive nitrogen balance to grow and you only get taht from sufficient protein. Eat 6 meals throughout the day, be consistant with workouts, and med application and you will grow.

With each one my t levels only got up to 464 and I still felt like crap. I had a problem with my skin absorbing the medication. You can rub either of them on your upper shoulders, upper arms and even on your inner thighs where the skin is thinner. Testim will leave behind a musky smell on your clothes though. As far as either one affecting my muscles - it did nothing. I hadn't regained any of my lost muscle or strength, and I was pretty weak. I eventually went on injections and I have been feeling the best. I have regained a lot of my lost muscle and strength back. The shots do not even hurt. Hope this helps, you will have to expirement with different locations to see how your skin does. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 , It is interesting to me that this type of application (topical and through skin) is so popular. Many suffers who are primary and secondary complain of dry, rigid and tough skin throughout the body, due to inability to best hydrate skin with this condition. Although I too have been on it, it always struck me as a bit odd that you are using an application method that directly competes against a strong side effect, which effects ability to absorb. Just a thought. Blessings to you. Bill > Hi all. My pharmacy has given me testim, but I have previously used > androgel. I like the androgel packaging better. It is easier to get it > all out.
