Thanks for the information. My pdoc said that the long term effects were unknown, fairly new option for this purpose, and basically what I heard was that he didn't know what it would do to me physically over time. He didnt sound like he was completely sold, but talked to me about it because my T brought it up. My T suggested that I be part of a study that being conducted locally. It sounds like a quick fix to me. I think I'm going to opt out
