So awhile back (just over a year now I believe) I was feeling like total crap and the doctor checked my levels and they were crazy low, like the levels belonged to a 90 year old man.....
So my doctor prescribed me Androgel 1.62 and I tried that for six months, and then had my blood checked again and the levels were still really low. So he sent me to a urologist to see what he thought and he wanted me to try Axiron for 6 months, which I did and when I got my most recent blood work done my levels are actually lower now.
I went to the doctor again and he wants me to keep trying the Axiron for 6 more months, but I feel zero difference and at this point think I need injections but the doctor is still saying to keep trying these gels.
Has anyone heard of the gels not working well before? I guess I'm just surprised the numbers haven't at least gone up some for me with them.
So now I'm debating going to one of those anti-aging low-t type places but all of them so far seem to be not covered by insurance, and you have to go to them once a week to get injections. I was hoping the doctor could prescribe it to me so I could just do it myself, so I don't know if I should just go for another opinion someplace. or just stick it out another 6 months with the gel stuff or what....
Just seeing if anyone else has done this or had any suggestions....
