Cardio SE: of testosterone therapy are from poorly conducted studies of poorly controlled populations and the purported side effects have been vastly overblown by media in search of headlines. However, if the planned injections are large doses every couple of weeks, the big swings in your levels could make you feel worse. Better for you to give small doses yourself a couple of times a week to avoid this.
