34 with lowT - should I use my testim gel as a short boost?

June 14, 2010

Hi

My question keeps getting long though I'm trying to sum it up so I will put the

direct question without the other details up here first.

Can I use testim gel for a few days on here and there as a bit of a little boost

to help me out. Because I really need even a little help right now. I haven't

been properly diagnosed yet because I can't afford it but I have 30 days of

testim sitting here. What effects will that have? Will I have a down after the

boost? Will it make me dependent on using testim?

I'm 34 with Low T. My physician prescribed testim but I want to get properly

diagnosed by an endo and figure out what my problem is exactly before continuing

with the testim. This is because I read that it can make you dependent on it and

then you have to take it. I don't want to be worse off, especially since from

what I have learned so far I think my problem might be more adrenal or

something.

Thing is I can't afford to be diagnosed right now, but I have 30 days of testim

gel in my drawer and when I sampled the testim the first time (my doc gave me a

weeks sample even before I got a blood test!), just after 3 days of it I felt

like myself again for the first time since I don't know when. It was amazing!

A few months later I actually started the testim treatment for a month but by

the end of it I was actually feeling worse and reading about possible long term

effects of using it I stopped to wait and get diagnosed and properly treated.

But here I am, I desperately need to do some important things and the low T

symptoms I'm suffering are preventing me from getting this big/little project

done. I just can't get focused enough to get ahead, everyday brings new work and

I can't get that extra day a week to focus on this really important side project

that when its done I will be free from a really bad situation.

Can I use the testim for a few days every month or so as a boost to get me

through this very important couple months of my life. What effects will it have

using it like that? I would be happy just to get a few days of feeling better.

Thank you for your advice!
