what kind of weekly dose are you on? do you have to put gel on every day? is it a hassle to travel or is it no problem with a prescription? any bad side effects you can think of that you experienced?

The recommended dosage with the compounded testosterone gel is 2 ml daily according to the label. That's a smallish amount roughly equivalent to how much toothpaste you might spread on your toothbrush. It is supposed to get rubbed onto your skin like your abdomen or shoulders. Use it every day to maintain a consistent level, although skipping a few days here or there if you run out isn't going to hurt you. Only takes seconds to apply, certainly no more effort than brushing your teeth or shaving. No issues traveling, it comes in a small hard plastic tube with the prescription label glued onto it. Only costs $75 per month, gets sent in the USPS. Fax the doc your order and you are good to go. Has only the very positive effects I mentioned in a previous post, except it could accelerate your hair loss if you are already prone to it.
Someday testosterone replacement therapy is going to be part of a regimen that will be considered standard operating procedure for any male thirties and up who cares about their health. So called "normal" aging occurs in large part due to the plummeting levels of testosterone even as young as your twenties and only gets worse the older you get. It's not like a magical fountain of youth however. The effects will be synergistic with eating healthy and exercising.
