Apologies if this has been brought up before, but wanted to pass the word along for those who may not know. I recently spoke with my friend Greg from manmods, who told me he started getting his testosterone subcutaneously, under the skin with an insulin needle, tiny enough that he can't even feel the shot. He says he is saving money now because he was able to lower his dose and the needles are cheap. He has to do it every other day instead of once a week but the smaller doses eliminate the roller coaster effect. (I'm paraphrasing his words.) I don't believe he posts here, but I told him I would spread the word. He really is one of the most down to earth eunuchs I've come across and I encouraged him to join in the community more, but I understand he has his own life to live. Again, sorry if this is old news, but I figured if it could help someone it was worth a mention.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm still trying to get on TRT by ANYONE at this point since today's the 3rd week since surgery and the emotional rollercoaster is way too much to handle. Just to make sure, does he do it himself since it's every other day and you mentioned needles being cheap.

To my knowledge, yes he does it himself. Why are u having trouble getting on T?

I didn't prepare and get appointments made before surgery due to me being at 0% (burned out) and just wanting everything to go on pause. I also was not expecting such extreme mood swings this early so had to play catchup and push some of the doctors in my area to get me on TRT. I have an endo appointment tomorrow that might get me on T shots which will help me a ton as I don't know how I feel right now at whatever level it is.

Can't imagine why they wouldn't give it to u if u needed it but I know ppl have had a hard time with it before. Have u told ur doctors that ur castrated?

When I had mine removed, the Dr. waited until my checkup 4 wks later and then wrote the prescription for Androgel. It was explained that that was the normal waiting period with him. No problemss getting it. I DID have to prove that my medicine was available on insurance. I did that prior to surgery.

Yea. Told them my surgery which then started to push things forward. I can't really complain too much since it's my fault I didn't setup appointments in advance though in this voltaile emotional state I am not thinking that clearly at times. Today should hopefully start getting me back to normal.

Sorry ur having a rough time buddy. I know that it's been said that not many can handle a no T state. I'm sure it's a shock to ur system and u haven't had much time to adjust. At least u can now say you've had the full eunuch experience. I hope that u can get on hormone replacement soon so u can level out and enjoy ur new life the way u want to.

That was my experience also.

The worse part was riding out the hot flashes and night sweats that started before surgery because of injections to destroy my nuts.

I went 2.5 years no T finally needing to go on T but would like to go back to no T again someday.
