hypogonadism, male
"I knew I was having low T and had it checked; won't bore you with the details but it was extremely low.  About four hours after applying Androgel I felt a surge of well being, almost giddy!  Over a few days it levelled out and my previous moodiness, tiredness was much improved.  Worked great for a year, then insurance stopped covering Androgel.  I switched to Fortesta.  At four months I just felt like it wasn't doing enough, and asked the doctor to increase my dose.  He did, then at  one year my testosterone level was only 150!  For some strange reason, I just don't absorb Fortesta.  I don't want to deal with the smell of Testim and, so I'm starting shots soon.  Can tell when I'm low!"
