Hypogonadism, Male
"From my research, the absorption rate depends on the person quite a bit.  I&#039;m on Androgel 3 pumps right now (orig. T-level 218 on 338 - 1000 scale). I&#039;m feeling better but not as good as the trial pack of Testim.  Just to be sure I was remembering correctly, I used the 3 remaining tubes of Testim recently, and my energy was much better (did not need any naps during the day.)

After going back to 3 pumps Androgel, I felt energy level drop.  Since my insurance covers only Androgel and Foresta, I&#039;m going to ask Dr. about switching to Foresta next visit since I do not seem to be absorbing the Androgel very well.

If Testim smelled better, I&#039;d be on the phone with the insurance to see if we could work out a deal."
