Before, I was counting the seconds before I could take my next pain pill...now, I'm going an extra 3 hours before I need another one.

My doctor mailed this great article on testosterone and why we should be taking it. If anyone is interested in reading it, I would be happy to scan and upload tomorrow after work. It came from the Practical Pain Management Journal, July/August 2010. Thanks. Tiff
Thank you Tiff!
I find this very intriguing! My hormone levels were pretty much zilch when tested. I was diagnosed with hyPOthyroid too tho.....
I'm gonna run this by the Peripheral Neuropathy crew to see what they say!
My pain diagnosis is 'vague'.......some Drs pinned it as PN, others RSD.....

Heck, if testosterone helps alleviate the pain, then bring it on! ......even if I grow a beard in the process......

Are there any side effects as such??

Thanks again for sharing!
