[QUOTE="psoas, post: 271582, member: 45164"] Because I was feeling so bad, after I got my very low testosterone blood levels, I started testosterone before seeing the urologist. The order in my description was a little misleading. The urologist said it is best to be on 100mg every week. I still preferred to not use it. However, the injections were a trial that told me that ALL of my symptoms were related to low testosterone. In regards to inability to handle stress, that only occurred after starting testosterone injections. I had no problems handling stress when my testosterone levels were "circling the drain" (I had different problems!). I do exercise, and I am playing tennis 3 times per week, weather permitting. Due to mild age associated wrist, shoulder, and knee problems, weight lifting is not the ideal form of exercise for me, while cardiovascular exercise is probably better. And, before I got COVID 1 1/2 years ago, I was the same weight as I am now. Pre-COVID, my energy and stamina were good. I was pretty active physically on weekends. I was not sore after playing tennis. I could still do stuff around the house after playing Saturday tennis. I did not get very sleepy in the afternoon. My blood pressure was normal. I did not have tinnitus. So, although my weight is a partial factor, it is not the primary factor. And, likely if I had stayed on testosterone, my estrogen levels would still have likely been driven upward, still causing some malaise and erectile problems. I really really prefer not using testosterone, even if I don't have side effects from it. If my pituitary is low, I would prefer to address the cause (low LH) rather than the effect (low T). And, although correcting my hormones won't directly help me lose weight, it will hopefully give me more energy to be more active, helping to make it easier to lose weight. I am not expecting hormone correction to solve all of my problems, but I am hoping that it could get me back to where I was pre-COVID. [/QUOTE]
