hypogonadism, male
"Doc looked at my testosterone levels. I was feeling lethargic, moody, rapid weight loss due to lack of appetite and no libido. Dr prescribed testosterone cypionate injection. 200mg a week intramuscular injection. 1st week not too noticeable of a change. 2nd week appetite increased, sense of well being, increased libido and most importantly, gained 12 pounds. Checked with doctor and it wasn't edema or water weight (sodium retention) just solid weight gain. Used to have a gaunt face now I'm filled out. Yeah the injection is uncomfortable but for the benefit its well worth it. I'm 44 and was 150lbs. 3 weeks later with a clean diet high protein, moderate carbs and no fried foods I'm at 172lbs. My goal is 185 at 5ft 10inches. I don't want to be Arnold, just a life."
