Lately, I've expressed concern to my doctor about fatigue. I had been falling asleep at work and have had a difficult time dragging myself to the gym. I have also gone without sex since August. (yikes!) I'm only 29. My docotor had my blood tested. I was at a level of an 8 year old girl at 255. Since then, he put me on a script for Androgel (5g 1%). After a month of one dose a day, I had my level tested again. It DROPPED from 255 to 211. He has now upped my dose to 10g a day to see if it helps.
As a little back history, I had my blood tested earlier this year, while on a product called Tribestan. It's a natural supplement that tricks your body into producing more testosterone. My test levels were over 900. A short while later, around May, I did my one and only cycle (EVER) of Deca.
My dilemma is I don't want to have my body shut down its production of testosterone, because I messed with it. I know to some, getting steroids from your doctor is a godsend. For a person like me, with a previously naturally high level of testosterone, I don't want to become dependent on gels and possibly shots to have any kind of sex drive and energy.
Is there a way to "naturally" kick my testosterone into gear? I asked my doctor, who is a family practitioner, and he said he didn't think so. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
