Default Anyone taking testosterone?

I have CIDP -- or PN, depending on the doc -- and have suffered some pretty several muscle atrophy. I read that testosterone can help in such cases, so I got a doctor to give me some, which I inject myself once a week. So far, all I have seen is a better outlook on life, which is normally very gloomy. Also, more energy.

On the downside (I think), for three or four days after giving myself the shot, my feet and legs are flooded with fuzzines like never before. It feels like I'm wearing super thick thigh high woolen socks. I'm not sure how to read this. Could be good, could be bad. Also, my right foot feels like it's freezing. All this pretty much wears off after about a week.

Anyone have any experience with this?

The doctors are no good because no one, near as I can tell, has experience with the crossover of testosterone therapy and PN/CIDP. So, there's no one for me to ask. My neurologist hasn't a clue. The guy who prescribed the testosterone is one of those wellness doctors who I think is pretty much a quack.
