required knowledge for this thread: I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 17, had 9 months of chemo. one year later the cancer came back and I had a stem cell transplant in may/june of 2005. I am 20 years old now; had a P.E.T. scan today and I am still in remission.
Warning - there is talk of *****(woah just found out you cant say 'peeness' on this site, well you know what i'm talking about when you see the "**") and sex in this thread, lets keep this mature.
I realize this is not a supplement, but I didn't know where else to put this thread and wanted to discuss it.
Purpose - just to vent, see what other ppl would do/think.
don't know what testosterone is look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone
----------------------------------------------------
So today I was talking to my doctor and I said that I have been working out for almost a year and I'm trying to gain muscle but it is coming along very slow. I eat right and work out about 2-3 times a week. In almost one year I have only gained 13 lbs (124 to now 137) - I am 5'8" so I am very skinny. Most of it was gained after I got over a girlfriend I was together for 2 years (when we broke up I lost a lot of weight). Anyway, my doctor then says that most likely I am not making enough testosterone, a common problem in men who have had chemotherapy. So he prescribes me some testosterone patches.
I did some research on it and most men who take this are looking for the benifits/fixes such as, infertility, lack of libido or erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, penile enlargement, height growth, bone marrow stimulation and reversal of anemia, and even appetite stimulation. "Anabolic steroids have also been taken to enhance muscle development, strength, or endurance"
My ***** has no problems at all, I am quite happy with it and it's functions that work very well. I am worried that I will get horney and erections all the time when they are not wanted, because that function in my body is not a problem at all and I don't want that part of me to really be "enhanced". Although I also read that testosterone can also help with depression (which I have). My thoughts: I think it is worth a try, I will try it for a month and see how I feel and if I gain strength and mass.
Pros: it will help gain weight and muscle. it may help with depression. help with appetite.
cons: it will mess with my ***** functions - I dont need to be more horney than I already am. i have to wear a patch. this is usually used for older men who have problems with this kind of stuff. more hair growth?
Care to add any thoughts / suggestions. I'm confused, tired, and feel like crap from the radiation admitted from the scan, so im going to bed.
