Maybe this is why some of us here develop the overactive immunity

problems of CFS...

Phil,

Just speculating here, but low T might make your immune system weak

because it is overworking. Overworking because it doesn't have enough

T to keep it at a normal level. So it works really hard fighting

nothing and then when something real does show up, it doesn't have the

energy to fight it.

> Holly shit if this is true we are screwed I just got over a bad

sinus infection and bronchitis. Now I was feeling better for abut a

week and a half. Last night I started getting sick again and this is

what has been going on sence I have been on TRT. Now I know why my

Dr. would tell me that having Low t make your immune systom weak. Now

they think the high levels of T do it.

I have a med study showing how autoimmune orchitis basically starts

killing off Sertoli cells, etc. as a part of the autoimmune cycle.

If I'm off of my HRT for say 6 hours past my " normal schedule " , I can

actually start feeling the " ache " set in, and strongly believe it's

the orchitis kicking in when sperm cells are being generated. Re-

application of T stops the process cold.

Just my experience.
