Hi ,

I have to start testogel 50 mg/day for my low free testosterone that can be the main cause of my dry eye syndrome (testosterone impact directly meimbomian gland that produce tears). I suffer also of fibromyalgia.

Do you know if with this dose can have a suppression of HPA axis ? Or an increase of extrogen ?

Thanks

Daniele

yes testosterone of any kind will suppress testosterone but if u need it you need it. Although injection are said to be the better options

You might look into compounded DHEA drops for dry eye. They worked very well for me and are not systemic.
