Thanks for the replies re the nut question.....

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your replies. Since one doesn't spend time looking at

other guys nuts, you have no way to know what's normal.

You asked if I'd been checked for diabeties. Yes I was a year or

two ago. At my insistence they checked my thyroid levels, blood

sugar.

The only thing they never checked me for was Testosterone. When I

asked for a test, surprise...it was the only thing that's ever came

out abnormal 285. While at first glance 285 might not seem all

that low, it puts me in the bottom 5% of men my age(42). It's also

below average for the 85-100 age group.

So, yeah, it's possible we've hit on the problem and why I feel so

crappy. More testing will tell the tale.
