[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 14478, member: 2624"] One of the things my doctor explained is that "normal" does not mean "in range". In her practice, she prefers the term "in range" in regard to lab results, and has explained that these values reflect a statistical distribution of where men present when they have their testosterone tested. It does NOT mean that you feel physically well with a number just inside the cut-off. In fact, you'll feel lousy. She believes TRT is justified in men presenting with readings at/below 375 ng/dL. As the moderators here will tell you: symptoms matter as much, if not more, than numbers. I, too, initially consulted a faculty member of a major medical school when I started trying to sort out why I felt as I did, and it was a pointless exercise. Please consider finding a physician in your community who has experience treating men dealing with hypogonadism. It's worth your time to find such a doctor. [/QUOTE]
