Does anyone have any experience with this? When my dad went to pick up my mom's PD medicine, the pharmacist mentioned that he knows another PD patient who is trying it. We are trying to speak with that person in the next week or so, but in the meantime I thought I would ask around here. Thanks!!

Wonder how they decide which hormones you need, how much, cost, etc. Seems like mostly early PWP are using it, too.

It appears that the advantage of Sottopelle is a steady infusion of hormone (testosterone in men) and some convenience as yoiu don't have to take constant daily doses by patch, gel, injection, etc. On the other hand, an expensive trip to the doctor every 3 to 6 months for a new pellet is a drawback.

Testosterone appears to be important. See, for example, http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/264067.php. The question is, is Sottopelle's anecdotally impressive result due to just testosterone or is it the delivery method and pharmacokinetics that is the benefit? Would rhe patches, etc. do the same thing?
