So I went into the doctor's today for a follow up, they have done tons of blood work lately and while my cholesterol is a little high, 9 points over what they would like, I got my first T prescription today!
I just need to wait for it to arrive in the mail, and I have an appointment on Tuesday to learn how to self inject, and for my partner to do it as well. In the mean time, I also need to work on getting my cholesterol down more.

Glad to hear you were prescribed T. After having all my blood work I also found out I had high cholesterol. When my doctor prescribed my T six months ago he also prescribed cholesterol pills. The last time I had a check-up with blood work my cholesterol was lower and my T level was fine. Get your cholesterol lowered and you will be fine. Rufus |

I don't remember if I've posted this before and if I have, I'm sorry for being redundant.
A good natural, non-prescription way to control cholesterol is Niacin . You can buy it over the counter at any drug store, health food/vitamin store or...ugh...Walmart. You should get the timed release or long acting type, such as "Niaspan". A typical therapeutic dose of this stuff is usually around 500 mg. Twice a day. Even the sustained release stuff can cause hot flashes or flushing, but if you stick to it, your body should get used to it after awhile. I found that my cholesterol went down appreciably after adding niacin to my diet. Good luck to everyone fighting the cholesterol war!! Theo

Thanks for the advice Theo. I'm not too bad, im only 9 points over where they want me to be, so I figure with a good workout schedule and improving my eating habits that I should be able to get it fixed. So I would like to try and do it without any pills first. Doctor said I have 3 months to get it to go down or they will put me on a prescription for it.

So I got my first shot today. A cute medical assistant did it for me while teaching my girl and I how to do it. They have me taking only .25ml every two weeks to start while we watch my cholesterol for 3 months. After that they will talk with me about upping the dosage.
