I have been on androgel and the shots for low test for about the past 18 months but wasn't getting the boost it was promising but now that I have been on the hose for a little over a month I can tell a difference that I can't attribute to the sleep machine. First, keeping what muscle I had while losing body fat. Second, "Sex? Yes please". Actually wanting more now than before the sleep problem.
Also there are some studies that show a huge lack of sleep can cause low test levels.
It might be something to look into if you have had the sleep problem for a long time and want to try and get back the years you lost or get back to where you were a bit faster.
It might be something to look into if your insurance will pay for the test test. My insurance paid for the shots and paid most for the gel. I hated the shots and settled for the gel. The gel is probably not as effective as the shots but they just sat there in the butt muscle waiting to be absorbed.

Re: Androgel finally working
Bill,
Glad to hear the gel is helping. Maybe it along with the CPAP is doing the trick. I don't think I'm running on 'low test' but my interest in sex has increased since I've been on the machine. It must be the increased oxygen getting to the vital areas both bodywise and brainwise. I won't go into more detail but I do believe CPAP has helpled my sex life.

I am not a Hindu or a god, just Mark from New Jersey. But the CPAP mask makes me look like Ganesha.

Re: Androgel finally working
I wouldn't have thought so either, but a little needle sticky in the arm and a little therapy might show Ganesha that the tantric way is not always the best way. Sometimes the best way to have fun in the boudoir is to let the your freak-flag fly.Ganesha wrote:Bill,
