Testosteron therapy

Sorry, no experience, but I don't know that a gradual rise in dose of testosterone should affect your heart negatively. Maybe it might improve its function....if you can steel yourself to be optimistic about the trial. I do know that thyroxin levels are much more potentially going to affect the heart's rhythm, so at least you don't have to deal with that, just the testosterone. Why not give it a graduated shot? And good luck to you, too! 🙂

Actually, I am toying with looking into my testosterone levels. Please report back on your experience.
Thanks,

Testosterone will increase your RBC Hgb and Hct making your blood thicker so you might want to address this realtive to your arythmia.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it. My red blood cell count is too low and it'll be interesting to see the effects.

My daughter gets testosterone. Here is her experience.

My doctor put me on in March, she prescribed .8 ml (topical skin gel) per day. In general, the best benefit I notice is that my muscle recovery is much better. The downside is that my red blood cell counts have been too high. Since I was training for mountain climbing last summer, my doctor and I concluded that my red blood cell counts were too high both because of the testosterone and being at high altitude so much. My red blood cell counts are closer to normal now, but still a little high. In general, I think all of the hormones that doctors are prescribing have benefits for sure, but keeping the levels in balance is a little bit of an issue.

Wow! Your daughter is amazing -- training for mountain climbing! I am 82 years old. So this perhaps doesn't apply to me...although I am in good shape for an old broad. Good advice on keeping hormones in balance. I guess I need to read up a bit more since I am on thyroid and see where that takes me. Thank you so much for your response.
Cheers,
Dana
