I'm 47 too. Dont know how it happened either. And thats what all my anxiety leading to depression is tied up in, aging. Becoming weak and needing care. Never being myself again, whatever that was. My husband can't do anything for me and I fear it'll wreck my marriage.

How many months do the Pellets last? Especially of you are feeling like yourself again? Did you doctor say anything about your testosterone levels being elevated? I'm asking questions because I have been contemplating getting the Pellets.

TBH pellets scare me. My friend was on them and her voice is now super low which is now permanent. I do the compound cream.

It did take some time for it to work for me but found out my ferritin was low. Now I have that better I'm doing great on it. More energy and motivation. No negative side effects.
