Low Testosterone

[tatersalad]

Guys, don't wait for problems to arise to get your testosterone checked. Low T is a sneaky bastard!

I saw the endocrinologist last Friday, after my doc did a blood test (at my request) and found my test to be low. I have to wait on the results of a couple more tests the endo drew blood for Friday and assuming they are good I'll be starting AndroGel.

I didn't have any symptoms that made me think I had low T, until I started having some weird mood swings that made me think I needed to get checked for depression. Research made me suspect low T, and that's why I got checked. I'm not sure if my GP would have checked it on his own or not. It turns out I have probably been dealing with low T for a couple years or more.

So anyway now I get to start all over on the Journey, but I now have a bunch of fat to get rid of first. Low T causes a lot of issues, including Insulin Resistance and core fat gain.

Just wanted to pass this along.

Good luck man. That's good you did your research and brought that to the doc's attention. I think they would have just given you antidepressants. Did you see the Low T commercial? I think it's ridiculous that here in our country we have to shy away from the word Testosterone and it "T" Again, I hope that works for you and good luck.

Thanks Jason!

I had heard the 'Low T' commercials and figured I would check the symptoms. I was really depressed, I just didn't give a rats ass....

I don't shy away from the word Testosterone, it's just a lot easier to spell 'T" ;-)
