Hi there, just wondering if anyone knows anything about Testogel. I have been having issues over the last 18 months, very low energy, unhappy, confused but not sure what about, memory loss, generally really under the weather, don't want to go out, don't want to socialise.... I have had my thyroid tested, all ok. Wondered if I had B12 deficiency, apparently my B12 is high, does anyone know what that means. Although I rate my doctor I really do wish they would call back with blood results, either negative or positive.
Anyway I digress, I went to a menopause clinic who suggested I go back on HRT, I decided to take myself off it about 8 months ago because I didn't think it was doing anything. I had a hysterectomy 15 years ago but they left my ovaries. So as well as estrogen she suggested testosterone, in gel form because she didn't have any implants. Now this was over a week ago but I have NOT noticed any difference, except by libido has risen very quickly but that's all... I was hoping for other goodies this offers energy, less brain fog, less confusion and memory loss.
Does anyone know how long the gel will take to get into my system, bearing in mind I have to apply half a sachet twice per day, that's 5mg a day and after reading a few articles on here it may be too much... Next week the doctor wants to give me the testosterone implant but if the gel doesn't work why bother.. Is there a difference, Testogel versus implant?
I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis so all this could be linked but I can't have medication for my arthritis until I have sorted all this out, the medication they have been trying me on causes lethargy, that's the last thing I need so until my energy levels return to some kind of normality I am living on 20mg a day of prednisolone but no arthritis medication.
I work away Monday to Friday, all over the country arrive back home late on Friday night, perhaps that's another reason but I can't give a job up that pays my mortgage, vicious circle.. I am 52 female...
Any help and advice, or even a kick up the bum to say pull yourself together would be a start...
Thank you for reading... Lindy x x
