I read the replies to Thunder,s post withear,s open.There were some very strong,but true statements made.I suppose,like any other Controlled Substance,there are Dr.,s that just won,t RX them unless the circumstances are extreme.I,m talkin bout docs that see a patient with a Kidney stone and are reluctant to give him 10 or 12 Darvocet for his pain(more like agony!)Test is a C-3 drug,so it carries the same ruling with these pitiful,cowardly excuses for physicians.Lord,why is it that every time I read or hear of these cases involving patients needing Class 2,3,or 4 meds,and the medical jerks that won,t Rx them to ease their suffering,I just get crazy with contempt and anger towards these....OK,I,m sorry,back to the Test,I recently got Test tested and was found to be WAY LOW!They measure it in a scale of 200 ng/dl to 1310 ng/dl,low to high,respectively.Mine was 79 ng/dl!!The doc made me get a second test and it was 167,which was still below the bottom of the scale.And,yes,I was started on Test replacement therapy after I got a digital Prostate exam and my PSA levels checked.Both were fine.I am currently without insurance,so i opted for the least costly method,the injections,which I give myself.The 10 ml ampule was only just over 100 bucks,and it has 2,000 mg. of Testosterone Cypionate,enough for 10 200 mg. shots.Before I began them,my symptoms were:loss of strength,loss of muscle mass,bodyfat retention uppage,no Libido,very poor erectile function,memory loss,anxiety,and,oh yes,Depression!After 4 shots,I can honestly say,it is working!It is also true that if you "mess around",taking Test when you don,t really need it,it can wreak havoc on your system,especially the Prostate.Festus
