I'm 37 and have been diagnosed with low T, I'm tired all the time and just don't feel like myself, I want to feel better and get back to being myself again, I just don't want to be dependent on testosterone the rest of my life, anyone else with low t and is on testosterone are the benefits worth the risk of being on it the rest of your life

How is that killing you

Low T is a serious problem.Guys just asking a question. Quit being a dick

Rt-n-Strut, bout 2 yrs ago, I too was feeling really bad, didn't have any energy and was just being an arse to my wife and family. Some blood work show my T levels on the low end of the spectrum. A little help from my family doc, and my levels are right where they should be. My wife will ts till tell you that I'm an arse, but hey....I feel good! Now, the bad thing is if you supplement the testosterone from an outside sorce, your body will produce less of it naturally. Depending on what test is used, the nomination can be on the low end 300 and upper 1000. If your dr can get you somewhere in the middle, you should be fine. The only other thing I'd make sure you don't have a family history of prostate cancer or if you have elevated psa levels to get off the T. Prostate CA feeds on that stuff.

Thanks for the response, yea that is one thing that definitely worries me is the prostate, I'm seeing a urologist and he said that he would check my psa every 6 months, my level was 230 and he wants to start me on 200 mg injections, problem with prostate history is that I don't know who my dad is, history on that side of the family wouldn't be possible, I want to feel better just not sure about the risk

Your levels will come (should) up fast and you will feel it pretty quick. Just monitor it like he says and reduce amt to find that sweet spot.

Here's a good read from webmd:

You and your doctor will have to experiment on the dosage and frequency until you get it level. 200mg is going to make you feel like a racehorse within the first week. Just be sure to tell him everything you experience. It's well worth it.

Yeah, you might warn your wife not to brush up against you while passing in the hall unless she's ready to go!

And it will be difficult to concentrate on work for the first couple of weeks...

I know two men that started taking the injections and they both had prostrate cancer within two years. They were told that prostate cancer was a risk but they shouldn't worry!
They were using the same doctor. I take a supplement from GNC because I lift weights some. I need help maintaining muscle at my age. I've had my testosterone level checked and they are fine.

Get you a quality b-Complex vitamin 100 mg and start taking daily.

I always heard that if you beat it a lot your body would naturally produce a lot of testosterone

I wouldn't do it. It will shut your natural production down. There are ways through diet, exercise and stress relief that will help tremendously.

1. Exercise by lifting weights, but not any fru fru exercises, concentrate on the big lifts: Squats, Dead lifts, Bench press, Rows, Chin ups, Dips, Overhead press, etc... Big lifts with heavier weights stress your body and cause it to respond by producing more testosterone.

2. Do cardio, but not just any cardio, do some form of HIIT. Something like wind sprints, where you sprint for a short time followed by short periods of active rest like walking. you can do this on a track and maybe sprint down the straights and walk the curves

3. A diet higher in cholesterol and fats have been proven to help.

4. Booze is a testosterone killer. Cut back on drinking.

5. Reduce mental stress. Read, meditate, relax.

6. Some supplements have shown promise in causing your own natural production to go up.

Not sure what your weight is, but following the plan above will help you lose body fat also and that will help as well.

Boost Testosterone Naturally

I'm 6'1 and weigh 235

Don't take it. My dad took testosterone and ended up with prostate cancer. You don't want. I had low T and lost weight and started excersing. My testosterone went up to normal.

I just noticed, this post along with your sig line is kind of ironic. Just giving you a hard time.

Seriously stay away from the testosterone booster from the doctor and follow the plan above. When I got divorced about 12 years ago, I had low T too. I tried the testosterone shots for a little bit at first, then one day I was sitting on the bathroom sticking a needle in my thigh and thought, "This is crazy!, I'm only 40 something. Screw this!"

Then I started following the plan I outlined above and things started to improve and returned to even better than before. Now I'm 54 and I'm strong, healthy and I guarantee you I have more sex and more energy than most guys half my age. My body fat stays around 15% to 17% and I eat some serious vittles too.

your right, right now I need to hire someone to help me get all the things I need to get done but I don't cause I'm tired all the time

Don't we all just long for the days of Junior High when all it took was the wind to blow a little and BOOOIIINNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!
