T Update

I'm sort of rebooting updates since upping my dose from 1.25 g AndroGel 1% daily to 1.25 g AndroGel 1.62% daily.  I should have made one last week but was preparing to move and got sidetracked.  Without further ado:

I've been on the higher does of T for three weeks now and haven't noticed much of anything, except that I had another period and am not super happy about it.  I really hope this is the last one!  I didn't get emotional PMS this time, for which I am immensely grateful.  However, my chesticles got so swollen I couldn't bind for five days straight, and I just gave up on passing because of it.

Other than that, I've been more prone to dehydration since upping my dose.  I think my liver and kidneys are on overdrive from all the steroids I'm on -- I was prescribed a four-times-daily albuterol inhaler for my worsening asthma about two months ago, on top of the increased dose of T -- and am struggling to drink enough water.
