I have Dysautonomia/POTS/CFS. I also have below range testosterone, and low LH. I don't have the figures though, just what the doctor told me. I am 28 male.
I previously experimented with low dose DHEA and Pregnenolone transdermally. I used @haidut product, I believe it is called pansterone. We are talking from 1mg to 15mg applied transdermally. At first I felt better and my libido returned. This only lasted a day or two then I would have zero libido and my balls would get small and start hurting. I went on and off trying smaller and smaller doses but the result would always be the same.
I figure that my dysautonomia is screwing up my HPG/HPA resulting in low LH. Then when I applied the DHEA I would somehow suppress LH further despite the low dosages which would cause testicle shrinkage and no libido.
Anyway, that experiment was a year ago. Now I have been prescribed Tostran 2%, it comes out in 10mg per pump and my doctor told me to apply 40mg to my abdomen every day. I am not sure on this, for one, my abdomen holds a decent amount of fat so surely would result in more aromatase of the test. Secondly, this seems like a highish dose to me, particularly considering that so low DHEA caused me problems.
I was thinking of using 1 pump (10mg) on the wrists but read a study where a synthetic drug similar to 7mg Test caused massive suppression of test. So perhaps using 1/4 (2.5mg) of a squirt would be a better idea to start off. Or perhaps I should use the full 40mg? I have been searching studies to help guide me but haven't found much. Any comments would be appreciated.
