Androgel..... WOW! and What?

Well its been one whole week that I have been on the roids and have noticed a few things changing. The first couple of days on the stuff I would notice by the end of the day I was exhausted and didn't want to do anything. I also started having some real allergy issues with water eyes and stuff I don't know if this related or not. One other thing my left leg from my ankle to my knee has been giving me pains also. Could just be old age and an early spring causing these issues. I was able to ride my bike last week and of course I thought I would be riding like Jens Voight but for some reason it didn't turnout that way I felt worse on the bike than I have in long time. Its funny when people ask why you are taking this medicine and you try to explain it with out saying ED issues..... Its a weird look you get from guys when you say that. All I can think is hey if I can walk up to the counter and ask for my drugs  and it helps in that area so be it. So last night I had the chance to ride (if you notice I want to see more enhancement on the bike) the business park where I work. its a 2 mile loop that is a fair workout. I road over 30 miles in 2 hrs and felt great and I did notice a little more stamina. My biggest fear taking this medicine is "manboobs" and shrinking testicles well that's what you read on the Internet. You know how those articles are on the interweb..... Who knows what kind of people write those things.
Will update next week. If you have any questions about this doping thing I'm on feel free to ask me.

First day on Andro

Well, I dont know how many of you have any health issues you have faced over the years and have been under a doctors. I have been diagnosed with IGAn which is kidney disease and I have a mild for of it. With this disease I had to change my diet no red meat and cut out the sugars and all the fun stuff. Over the years I have had issues with cramping and muscle fatigue and just no energy. Its been about 2 yrs ago when I started having experiences with pain in my testicles and being a bike rider my urologist said that I had just bruised them. Well that would go away even though I was still riding. Last year I had an episode of ED (guys just fess up to it you can get some good helpful drugs) it was emberrassing to tell the nurse why you coming to the doctor. Sheapishly I would say things like "my little guy just doesnt want to work" and of course the nurse would say " So you have ED" and very loud at that. Of course the doc said this was just a situation where I needed my confidence built back up. He said use this drug for a while and it should start working again on its own. So I did this and like he said it started working again without the meds. So after a year it came back and with a vengence nothing happening down below. So I went to see the old Doctor again and he said I think we have another issue here that we need to test for. So he said this could be a case of Low Testosterone. He said look at the medicine your on it kind of leads you to think that this is the problem. So they took blood samples to check LowT and also my PSA level. He said he would just follow up in a couple weeks to talk about the findings from the blood test. The very next day the doctors office called and said you need to come in with your wife. That will scare the crap out of you and then you have to wait all weekend before you can meet him. we met and the Doc comes in and just shakes his head at me with this look on his face that made me think I had prostate cancer or something else. He said your T levels should be between 250 on the low side and 800 on the high side. My levels were at 228. He said we need to start you on some Testosterone therapy. So we talked about seeds implanted in your butt or having shots every other week or using whats called Androgel. He said the gel works the best so we agreed to start on this and see what it does. The sad thing is that when you start to look on youtube to find videos on it you find a bunch of girls wanting to be guys by taking this drug. I found some good information after digging for a couple days. So here is a little stat on me. I am 5'10" and weigh in at 243 lbs down from 258. I ride my road nike just about everyday and have been stuck at this weight for years. I'm not a fast rider I average about 15mph on century rides and I know my limits as to what groups I can ride with. Its like I never had enough power and stamina in my legs to really go hard all the time. This where I would like to see some improvement I guess time will only tell. I will try to document my adventure at becoming a doper like Tyler and Floyd and I might even give Contador a run for the Giro.
