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?

Dennis,

I was posting in a hurry before and overlooked what you mention above. That is exactly the major symptom I had when they discovered my levels were low. Now I sleep so hard I sometimes sweat like I did in my late teens early 20's.

What are your Ndl and Free Test levels from that blood work? Again, being in the normal range doesn't mean a whole lot. One mans normal levels may be super low for another man.
