Title: Potassuim levels and T
Post by: David27 on March 16, 2014, 04:42:09 PM
My potassium levels have increased into the unsafe range since switching to injectable T. I'm planning on asking my doctor if I can inject a little less than half my current dose (my syringes only do 10ths of milliliters) weekly instead of bi-weekly. I don't really want to switch back to topical because I hate having to juggle when I workout and when I can take a shower.

Did any of you experience this or have any of experienced a high/low level of some other values? Did you switch to gel/weekly shots to avoid these issues?

I use topical before I go to bed. That seems to work. I don't guess it's the best, but seems to be working for me. But I imagine injecting smaller amts more frequently could work.
