I checked on the treatments on the web, FWIW, there is a lot of success stories and then there are no end of warnings about the health risks of using the testosterone patches and so forth.....to me, the debate is whether I want to live longer feeling like crap or risk living less time but actually LIVING.

I am tempted to try the stuff for 6 months and see if it makes a difference, but my doc will not prescribe the stuff (and there are no doctors available in Calgary so forget about seeing another one).

Thoughts?

Normal ranges don't mean squat because no one knows what YOUR normal range is. Ideally men should have levels measured while they are in their early 20's to determine what their normal levels are.

Read the book I suggested in my previous post.
