Dr said write goodbye letters to my children

Long story short

5 th pregnancy I developed dreadful asthma for the first time ever.

I could not walk or talk , I was tested for MS Myasthenia Gravis , Lupus etc.

Lung function test worsened with puffers never improved. Prednisone and puffers did nothing to help. I tried elimination diets , vitamins.

I was on Oxygen and told to write letters to my children as there was nothing left to try.

I was in hospital regularly then a random doctor said try this cream the pharmacy at the hospital in Brisbane will make it .

Wesley hospital was a 12 drive monthly.

Within 5 minutes or so of applying the cream to the crease of my elbow I could breathe. My husband and I could not believe it . No more gasping for air struggling to eat and breath and everything that went with it.

Whilst the testosterone cream gave me my life back it was very sensitive to temperature, it had to be made from natural ingredients and not synthetic.

I could tell if it had been left out of the fridge prior to collecting from the pharmacy ,I could tell if they had not used a PPCA base or changed to synthesis ingredients because I would be in an ambulance within 3days of my last quality dose.

I nearly died in Mexico and Vegas do to temperature issues killing my cream.

Recently another random doctor said how about using this format a trouche instead of the cream. It has given me confidence to travel , stability. It works within minutes of popping into the side of my cheek.

Heart and Lung doctor recently did not know about testosterone for lung issues then he looked into it and said you are right they are now starting to make asthma medications from testosterone.

I have been on testosterone for my lungs for 23 years it’s been my miracle.

An interesting and amazing story. Welcome. X

Hi ive been saying about this for a long time more should be invested/looked into/studied of working more with our hormones rather than just Synthetic pills of Dubious ingredients!

I know of a few cases one was an elderly Lady they gave her some Testosterone.... in the end she wouldn't take any more as said it wasn't fair on her husband as he couldn't keep up any more!!!.... As she was off like a Rampant Rabbit!

In USA they was giving some middle-aged males shots of Estrogen after they'd lost the zipp of life and one was saying there out now in there Kayak/Canoe where as before gave up.

There was an Elderly couple she was using Progesterone cream for HRT husband was rubbing it in for her then after a while noticed his prostate issues went away. As that controls Prostate!

It is any easy thing to try ,when i was on the cream my husband used to use it as he found it improved his memory.They find that boys often out grow asthma in pubity ,sadly not girls.

Ps I can tell if I use to much as i will get a litle pimple on my face like being a teenager lol

I have used it for nearly a quarter of a century ,I have probably had 5 pimples during that time. Yes it did help libido a little when I was younger,Happy wife, Happy husband .

No hair , no testicles so dont be frighted ladies .

Please let us know if you try it and you results.
