I read an article from the UK stating that having enough testosterone in your body lowers systemic inflammation, and the inflammation in our gut. The article also stated that’s why they think women are more prone to autoimmune disorders possibly due to low testosterone. I’m just wondering if anyone has heard or noticed this? I just increased my testosterone cream and I’m hoping that will help. 🙏🏿♥️

.125 ml. I use a Insilin syringe. The testosterone is extremely thick. Throw the insulin needle away. The pharmacy will give you a draw needle to use which can be reused. Then you put on the other needle in the picture to inject. I use to do my upper thigh but it bruised too much, now I do the side of my upper hip.

Ok thanks for your response! Do you mind if I ask what dosage you use? No wonder women are diagnosed more often!!!! 🥲 I found that many doctors are extremely reluctant to prescribe testosterone even gynecologists. It’s very sad and we need to advocate for ourselves!!

I do Testosterone injection prescribed by my Gynecologist. I administer it myself every 2 weeks. Low testosterone is a huge problem not addressed by many physicians.

Research shows that hormones play a significant role in RA symptoms and progression. Women are more likely to develop RA and experience more severe symptoms than men, partly due to their stronger immune responses and hormonal differences.

Women often experience changes in RA symptoms during times of hormonal fluctuation. After menopause, many women notice a worsening of their RA symptoms and faster physical decline. Hormone therapy may help manage symptoms. While much of the research has focused on estrogen and progesterone, it's important to discuss any hormone treatment, including testosterone cream, with your healthcare provider. They can monitor your response and adjust treatment accordingly.

Remember that hormone therapy results can vary significantly between individuals, and what works for one person may not work for another.
