I have been on testosterone hormone injects every two weeks for the last 4 years. My mental health has stabilized and I feel great! I do some exercise at the moment, but have been very physical on my bicycle in the past. Just to be clear on the exercise routine, I was able to ride my bicycle from the Twin Cities to Chicago in 6 days for a total of 538 miles a couple of years ago when more fit than today.

As you can see, with normal to little exercise lately, I have been able to maintain my blood chemistry.
My testosterone level is right on for my age (49), and all the other blood components or body chemicals are right in the normal range.
This is a point-in-time analysis of my blood chemistry for a male living without testicles and receiving Testosterone injections.
All those Eunuchs who frequent this board should be checking your body chemistry at least once a year and most should be monitoring twice a year.
Best of luck guys,
Robby
