[QUOTE="Desperately Seeking Dx, post: 218529, member: 42787"] To be clear, I do not attribute my other problems (difficulty concentrating, autism, teeth grinding, etc.) to low testosterone. I do have to wonder whether these other problems and my "lowish" free testosterone might all have been caused by that fall down the basement stairs and hitting my head when I was six years old--that perhaps the pituitary gland and/or hypothalamus were/was compromised and this has thrown my whole endocrine system slightly off-kilter. Since I have been unable to find a doctor to prescribe testosterone replacement therapy for me, my experiences have been limited to buying AndroForte off the Internet and trying it for a brief time. I did notice a slight physical improvement--presenting more virilized adult male chest and arms--as well as an improved interest in sex and more physical energy. But it was not enough of a game changer to justify the out-of-pocket expense ($300 per tube) as well as my worry that I might somehow run afoul of the postal inspector. The fact that it was an Australian pharmaceutical product shipped from a warehouse in the Republic of Georgia in a box labeled topical cream (or something similarly innocuous) after payment was sent to Israel made me question whether the arrangement was entirely on the up and up. Because the concentration is less than a standard, doctor-supervised prescription dose may cause this product to fall into some kind of a gray area legally. At any rate, while it was not dramatic enough of a change to warrant the continued cost or potential risk, this little experiment of mine suggests that I would benefit from conventional testosterone replacement therapy. The problem has been to find a doctor who is open-minded enough to try something, anything. [/QUOTE]
