That's a bunch of bull. Unless it is at a steroid level dosage which is like 4 or 5 times the dose you would be taking.
I wouldn't talk to them about it. They clearly are clueless to how that works. If anything, at elevating it to normal range, it has a calming effect.
You want to either see an endocrinologist or a doctor that specializes in hormone replacement therapy.
I have used both the pellets that get inserted into your hip fat and last for 3-4 months(testopel) and injections. I wouldn't use the cream...it can have negative effects on females because it can rub off onto them and increase their hormonal levels. It also doesn't work nearly as well and tends to aromatize heavily.
Speaking of that..I would make sure to take aromasin/exemestane to keep your Estradiol levels in check. I tend to aromatize more heavily than normal and exogenous T seems to naturally aromatize more than endogenous T to begin with. This keeps your Estradiol(estrogen) levels in check. Definitely do not want them too high. Mid 20s is a good place for them. Make sure they give you aromasin and NOT arimidex. There is a big difference and I could write a lot about it but I don't have the energy to right now. Just trust me on that one. Aromasin, not Arimidex.
I take Vitamin D regularly...10,000 IUs daily. It's the key to your immune system and literally regulates almost everything in your body. Depending on where you live sun exposure only generates enough vitamin D for a few months of the year during the peak summertime months. The further north you live from the equator (or south), the fewer months that you will be able to get adequate vitamin D from the sun. Interestingly, you can determine how far north or south a person's ancestors were by their skin. People with very fair skin that burn easily are from far north/south climates where the body maximized the amount of vitamin D taken in because of the weak sunlight. Darker skinned people lived in areas where it acted as a barrier to sunlight so they wouldn't overproduce Vitamin D. People who are darker skinned that live in Northern climates are in for a world of health issues if they don't regularly supplement with Vitamin D because they aren't getting enough from the sun no matter how much they are out in it.
