Hi Folks,

What a good wife/partner I am. Dealing w/ my own HRT issues

associated w/ Menopause and looking for help for hubby and his. We

have alot of libido issues between us that were not there in 'the good

old days'. My doc is willing to work w/ me and my researched

determinations of what I want/need for HRT, but...Hubby has a urolgist

that is as his staff told me " Convervative " with his treatment

recommendations. He once told us while chuckling that what is

happening is just a cruel trick of mother nature, that when we can

relax and enjoy sex without fear of pregnancy and the kids out of the

nest, that the means to do that isn't what it used to be. Grrrr.

Hubby's mild ED is responding nicely to Cialis so that is not a

problem currently. Its not loss of function, its desire that is

stressful in this household. And if one more person tells us that

thats good because we are both on the same page of not wanting sex, so

its ok, I will scream. LOL

I don't have a copy of hubby's test results, not sure what was done

yet, except was told he was " low normal " of 226ng/dl. If a baseline

wasn't done during his youth, how do they know if that is a big drop

or not in his Testosterone levels now that he is 54?

I have read alot of the files and done quite a bit of researching

and printing and will take my findings w/ us when we go back which

isn't until Dec 30th!! I have AACE's guidlines 2003 and have found

alot of easily understood info for lil' ole' layperson me. If the doc

doesn't work w/ us, he may find he needs a proctologist to help him

remove the guidlines.

I want a 3 month trial of Androgel. Too much to ask? Not according

to the AACE.

Thanks for listening to the newbie ramble...lol
