Glad to hear you were prescribed T. After having all my blood work I also found out I had high cholesterol. When my doctor prescribed my T six months ago he also prescribed cholesterol pills. The last time I had a check-up with blood work my cholesterol was lower and my T level was fine. Get your cholesterol lowered and you will be fine. Rufus |

I don't remember if I've posted this before and if I have, I'm sorry for being redundant.
A good natural, non-prescription way to control cholesterol is Niacin . You can buy it over the counter at any drug store, health food/vitamin store or...ugh...Walmart. You should get the timed release or long acting type, such as "Niaspan". A typical therapeutic dose of this stuff is usually around 500 mg. Twice a day. Even the sustained release stuff can cause hot flashes or flushing, but if you stick to it, your body should get used to it after awhile. I found that my cholesterol went down appreciably after adding niacin to my diet. Good luck to everyone fighting the cholesterol war!! Theo

Thanks for the advice Theo. I'm not too bad, im only 9 points over where they want me to be, so I figure with a good workout schedule and improving my eating habits that I should be able to get it fixed. So I would like to try and do it without any pills first. Doctor said I have 3 months to get it to go down or they will put me on a prescription for it.

So I got my first shot today. A cute medical assistant did it for me while teaching my girl and I how to do it. They have me taking only .25ml every two weeks to start while we watch my cholesterol for 3 months. After that they will talk with me about upping the dosage.

My dosage is .5ml every two weeks and I've been on T for almost four months now. What I've noticed is that I'm starting to get some hair where sideburns usually go, some hair on My upper lip, and quite abit of hair on My chin and on My neck (atleast the top part of it below My chin anyways). My voice has definately gotten deeper, even after a couple of months one of My very closest friends noticed it had gone down an octave or two. I'm definately noticing a spike in My sex drive (not sure how this will be for you) but personally its like I want it *alot* more than I did before. The biggest thing that I've notived is I'm much more comfortable in My own skin, even when I talk and I hear the deepness in My voice I cant help but wanna talk to actually hear it *LOL*
