I got my first pellets in July of '09, just had my 3rd insertion a few weeks ago, a booster as I was suddenly not feeling as wonderful as I had been. My testosterone level was 32 to begin with and the 1st pellets just tranformed me, loved it and so did my husband. Two weeks ago I began to feel horrid, my head was numb, I was so crabby I couldn't stand myself, very sleepy and crazy tired. I lay in bed in a stupor for 3 days and when the holiday weekend passed I contacted the dr. who ordered lab work and it turns out that I'd had a testosterone "spike" and my level was at 400! They had no explanation for this, the nurse said she'd had it happen to her twice over the many years she'd used the pellets and recommended I exercise to burn some of it up. Wellll, I did not feel like exercising! I felt ready to die. Has anyone else experienced this spike? It's pretty scary and to find nothing can be done and I'm left feeling like this for who knows how long is extremely discouraging.
