Here's my $.02 on TRT.
One of the greatest decisions I've made in a long time, I'm 55 yrs old and work as a contractor in Iraq with the US Army. Two years ago I felt tired all the time. Physical activity that used to be second nature became almost impossible to complete. My mental sharpness and decision making became almost foggy, but my libido was ok. I just attributed this to getting older, but had seroius thought of retiring as I could no longer keep up with my team. (I'm security for a traveling base closure team). I saw an ad about low T and the symtoms were what I had. Decided to see my Dr.- Blood work came back : Total Test 185 ng/dl Range 200 - 900
Free Test 2.6, Estradiol 39pg/ml range 7.6 - 42.6.
My Dr wouldn't do anything as his thinking is my levels are where they should be for a 55 y old. Bullshit!!!!!
I found a clinic, sent the blood work in and within a couple of days was on 300mg / week of test c and 150mg/ w of deca + Adex and HCG.
That was a little over a year ago and I feel better today than i have in 25 years. My test levels are in the mid 1100s, Estradiol is 18 and I really feel great at this range. I have blood work done every 90 days and have committed to being on TRT for life. But I Chose quality of life rather than just quanity
I went from 6' 251 LBs @ 35% bf to 6' 204 @ 10% wtih abundant energy and restored confidence in my abilities and my wife of 16 years is loving it. and I Fukkin look good for a 55 year old.
I am now retiring and going back home next week on my on terms knowing I can still perform my job as well as anyone. Amen
