Long term twice a day Dermaroller will probably cause your skin to toughen from the effects of injury response growth factors. Now add the effects of alcohol etc as further irritants. Result could be reduced absorption and changes appearance.
Where are you located?
Sweden?
Are T self injections an option?
If you are going to endure that, why not self inject which is 100% absorbed and least cost. You would use #29 1/2" 0.5ml insulin syringes for subq injections.
0.05X7 = 0.35mg/week
Not enough clarity or data…
Note that some are anastrozole over-responders who need ~1/4mg per week in divided doses.
You are increasing your delivered T dose. If results are too good, doctor might reduce your dose. If original results were poor, doctor might have increased your dose.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re Thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab numbers and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
