Guys on Nebido: how long before you started to feel the effects?

[markwilliams]

From your blood values it seems you need it, hopefully you and your doctor did the work of finding out the underlying reason for low testosterone, low testosterone at your age is a symptom of some other underlying condition or trauma.
If the cause for your problems is this underlying condition, patching it with testosterone may not produce any results.

I have a small pituitary gland, I did a MRI and that's what came out.
I also did a DEXA to my bones to know when this started and apparently I've been suffering from years since my bone density was deteriorating.

Nebido is a slow protocol, furthermore being for long periods with low testosterone usually desensitizes receptors, meaning that some of the symptoms can take up to a year to get results, the best example of this is erectile dysfunction.

Is there a scientific study to back this up? It's the first time I hear this. I'm just genuinely curious.

On an unrelated note, I'm currently fighting two nasty abscesses near injection site, 18 days after my first injection. They appeared three days ago, and I'll probably need surgery to cut them. It sucks, but I don't think it's related to Nebido.

Sorry to hear about your pituitary problems, but at least you know whats going on.

There is definitely information about long term low testosterone taking more time to recover. For example this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5754577/) shows Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) patients with longer than 18 months ADT took 9.7 months to recover, while patients with less than 18 months ADT only took 6.8 months for the same recovery.

The explanation about why that happens its my own thesis, so thats definitely not certain heheh. Take it with a grain of salt.

About the abscesses, who injected you? You need someone experienced in injecting this stuff. If its just your body fighting a foreign substance if you surgically remove it you are removing the actual nebido. If its not nebido related what is it??

Thats interesting. I never knew that.

Thanks

I have two different abscesses, one a few centimeters lower than the injection site, and one slightly left near the hip. They look like I have a ping pong ball under my skin.

I had an ultrasound two hours ago and it confirmed they're two abscesses, and I'm currently taking antibiotics to fight the ongoing infection. I really hope I won't need surgery, they say recovery is long and painful.

I talked to my endo after the ultrasound, and he told me that he never heard of someone having a reaction like that to Nebido, not 18 days after the injection.

So we're thinking a mosquito or spider bite, but that's unlikely too, IMHO.

Who injected the nebido in you?
