I was tired all the time and could'nt figure out why, my doctor referred me to a urologist(spelled wrong?) anyway he checked my test levels found them to be low started me on the andro creme then progressed to injections(twice a month)600mgs and not only did my energy jump ski high after about 6 weeks but also my body fat went down alot. Give it a try.

That sounds like it could be my prob..
Any side affects from the shots..Also, will you have to get these shots for the rest of your life? Does health ins.cover it? Thanks

There are several forms of therapy such as Andro-Gel 5 or 10%, and the injections and also patches. The injections deliver the highest amount of testosterone but need to been done right on time to keep your levels peaked. The andro-gel is not as strong but works better over the long run for someone on long-term therapy...its applied once a day. Insurance should cover it all as long as you get a referrel from your primary doc....tell them you never have any energy, and that you have no desire for sex and feel run down...then just a simple little blood test will show what you need.....levels considered low are around the 200 mark......mine was 212 and i was placed on it....after about 4 or 5 weeks i started seeing big results as far as energy, sexual desire and just feeling better everyday. I started a very low intensity workout program(2 to 3 times a week) and after 3 months could tell a big difference in muscle tone/mass....less body fat especially around my waist and lower back. It did wonders for me! Good luck
