Believe I could benefit from T replacement therapy. Last I had it checked last year I was at 396 total and 13.2 free. In my late 40's. According to the research I've done, it's still in "normal range", but I'm in the bottom 10th to 15th percentile with those readings, and have the T levels of the average 80 year old.
I had it checked because as the years move along, I have felt "less right". The last 6 months it seems to have accelerated.
Loss of mental focus. Almost completely. Can't focus or get motivated at work. Or home.
Memory was never great, but is getting worse. So much so it affects my job.
Less interest in sex. Less sensitivity has increased over the years as well. Still have an interest in it, but seems my motivation to do anything about it or really put any "work" into it (romance, etc) has left me.
Feel as though I'm in a mental fog most of the time.
Feel run down. And depressed.
Was in great shape just 10 months ago after dropping a good bit of weight and working out 5 to 6 days a week. Worked my azz of for almost a year. Then I took off working out for 4 months due to working on a project on my time off that took all of my spare time (important family project. Satisfying but draining, and did not keep up with working out). Since then (6 months ago), I cannot seem to find the motivation to get off my dead azz to do anything.
At any rate, thinking about seeing a doc about this. Have a friend who has referred me to a guy he sees, and he says it was life changing for him.
For those of you who have been through it, and started replacement therapy, how did things improve for you? Most concerned with mental sharpness, memory, and desire to just LIVE a life instead of trudging through it.
