Men's Group

I'd be a terrible insulin diabetic or needle drug addict. Luckily, my wife is in the medical profession and she gets the pleasure of jabbing me in the butt. She understands how to divide the butt check into quarters and avoid hitting the sciatic nerve. I'd never do weekly doctor visits, just the hassle of parking, waiting, time, etc. Alot of men do it themselves into the thigh or into muscles near the stomach. It's a muscular injection, not into a vein. It's a 23 gauge 1" long needle, so you don't really feel it. I've done Epi-Pens into my thigh and I forget the migraine med that you jab into the thigh myself and those are like 16 gauge, which is the size of like a ballpoint pen ink chamber. If my wife wasn't available, I think I could handled sticking myself with a 23 gauge in the thigh, because I know how much having test at normal levels has improved my life, my feeling of well-being, my energy, got me off of depression meds (amazing how many men are wrongly diagnosed with depression when they just have low T), and my weight. I did gel for 2 years and without insurance, it's like $700 a package. a month, where shots come out to about $10 each/$40 a month (and that's straight cost, without insurance. With insurance, its costing me like $2.50 a shot). After my first month on gel, my levels dropped to zero and I had to double the amount of gel (and the cost). And, the difference between gel and injectible is amazing. Besides not having to worry about who you hug, timing showering/sweat activities/swimming. Check out a Yahoo Group, lots of advice, book recommendations ... pretty much everyone eventually leaves gel and goes to injectible.
