Hi there,
I got a bilateral orchiectomy and have been on once per week injection for a year now. I always feel unbalanced hormonally, and by that I mean that I feel good the first few days after the injection but then steadily experience symptoms of low T - fatigue, brain fog, depression, etc, - toward the second half of the week. It feels pretty debilitating and challenging to deal with this every week. I'm thinking of going back to gel, which I was on for about five months before going to injections. I thought the injection would be less of a hassle but maybe I need the daily, consistant levels that the gel offers every day. My question is whether this is something others experience with the injection, and whether they opt for gel instead? Is this normal?
Thanks!
