As someone who is considering TRT, both because of physical symptoms as well as labs which would suggest hypogonadism
(see my post: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/male-anti-aging/74211-bloodwork-results-help.html),
I'm wondering how many on this forum can say that their treatment has helped them to feel better, which I think is the primary motivator behind most of us considering TRT. I know that fatigue and a lowered libido are what started my quest.
For those interested, maybe a good idea would be to share your original symptoms, your treatment - what worked and what didn't - duration of treatment, and how you feel now.
The reason I pose this thread is to find out what is working in TRT. For example, I know that some people can start testosterone replacement, feel better for a while, and then start to feel poor again as their own production shuts down or more T aromatizes into estrogen. And I also know that this info will probably differ from individual to individual, but maybe there are some common threads.
I want to make sure before I begin this that there will be a noticeable change in my QOL; and if that necessitates going to an authority like Dr. John - who will account for HPTA disruption/E2 conversion - and not a PCP who will "just prescribe testosterone", then that is something I'd like to attempt to discern now.
