[QUOTE="SpiceWeasel, post: 50084, member: 14021"] Hey, first of all, I'll start with saying how these past two years have been absolute hell. I'm 5"8, muscular and generally in shape. I used to work out regularly until I just had to give it up because of the symptoms I experienced. I've always had issues with mood/depression but never problems with libido and erections. I did have an orchitis infection when I was 18 and was treated with old school hormone destroying anti psychotics due to a very very bad misdiagnosis. (Chlorpromazine) this treatment only lasted 2 months until I realised how wrong the doc was. (Bipolar misdiagnosis) I know my depressed self, it never sapped my libido or gave me erectile issues. These issues have lasted a solid two years now, with very little changes. Generally, I don't find guys/gals attractive any more (yes I'm bi, don't hold it against me) porn triggers no response, ED is profound and tends to prevent masturbation, sometimes I can get by though ejeculate amount seems unaffected. Refractory period is usually a week to two weeks. I don't think about sex at all anymore and the absence of the thoughts, or rather that 'spark' when you think sexually, purposefully or involuntarily, distresses me greatly. I've also in this same time frame, lost a lot of my sense of smell and have experienced severe brain mush/fog. To the point my psych is considering ADHD treatments. So after two years of fighting the docs and them being very very reluctant to help in any way, I'm considering self administration of TRT. I've had my levels checked three times and each time the doctors wouldn't tell me my numbers (I've been told that's illegal here in the uk) I've got one more appointment, this time with a doctor who is close to the family. He's helped a lot people in my family with some pretty 'out there' treatments. My plan was to be straight with him and tell him I'm planning to buy my own supply and self administer TRT. I don't want supraphysiological levels of T. I just want to function like a man again. This has been very distressing. I was an extremely sexual person for whom sex was a part of my identity. Did any of you guys experience problems similar to mine? Did your drive and erections come back when you started TRT? Sorry if guys like me have posted before, my history is pretty weird/unique I felt and I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for in the heinous amount of stickies. Thanks for reading Feel free to ask any questions Posted this from my phone so apologies if this is over-paragraphed [/QUOTE]
