I went to my GP last week and she prescribed me a testosterone cream that has only been available here in Australia for a few months (according to her). I had a blood test and it showed that my levels were very low.
I haven’t been to pick it up yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what it can do for me. I have had zero libido for a long time now, but that’s not what I got it for BUT it is one of the main reasons they prescribe it. I wanted to see if it helped my muscle weakness and overall mehness. I have CFS/ME and hormones play a huge role in how well I feel.
Has anyone else used testosterone and how did you find it?
PS - HRT is so freaking expensive, it makes me really angry that our pharmaceutical benefits scheme doesn’t cover it and I am out of pocket hundreds of dollars a month.
I’d love to hear how you go! I’m about to try to get testosterone again after a doc told me it wasn’t worthwhile. Doing all I can with HRT, adhd meds, and lifestyle but the fog and fatigue are still bad enough that it took me full time effort to complete one subject at uni. Every assignment was weeks late and I still didn’t manage to address all the requirements. Was like trying to squeeze water out of a dry sponge.
