Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hello, I'm new to this list. I'm 49 yo and for the last two years I've been suffering of anxiety, mild depression, lack of energy, lost of weight/muscle tone, body aches, lost of sexual appetite. I'm sleepy during the day although I slept the whole night and it's difficult for me to concentrate. I feel older than 49. I found in the internet the description for andropause and I believe that's what is happening to me. Could you please help with advice. I don't have health insurance. Thank you. Best, JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Thank you Phil, I'll work on your instructions as soon as I go back home tonite. This is a whole new subject for me and I've been doing some reading. According to what I've read so far, the standard range of total T is 280-800 ng/dL. Base on this statement, if a person natural levels of total T two years ago were around 750 ng/dL and it dropped to... let's say 450 ng/dL, then according to the chart is still OK, but I wonder if that drop in total T would have an impact in your health. What do you think? Thank you, JC --- philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote: > Hi JC and Welcome. > > I can help you here you can order labs from LEF. > with out a Dr. at low prices.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 There was a study showing any man under 500 can have some bad ED problems. You can find it in the files or links section I feel anyone under 500 is going to shorten the end of the life. http://www.vitacost.com/newsletter/newsletter.cfm?nl=387 & csrc=EM-FYH20080718:mai\ n http://men.webmd.com/news/20070605/low-testosterone-may-up-male-mortality?ecd=wn\ l_men_072407 Co-Moderator Phil > > > > > From: JC <silvacub2000@...> > > > Subject: Andropause. > > > > > > Date: Sunday, October 5, 2008, 10:23 PM > > > Hello, > > > I'm new to this list.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 With what you have tested with your Total T low and your LH low you need more labs like Estradiol if this is not to high your secondary meaning your Pituitary needs looking at do an MRI to rule out a tumor this is not cancer but you need to know why your low before going on TRT. For the best way in doing this go to Dr. 's site at www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and his HCG update in this are labs you need and why.
