[QUOTE="jdthoosier, post: 191838, member: 14623"] I read this story about this woman who's father started showing signs of Alzheimer in his 70's. He had also had heart issues that required a pacemaker. Both the woman and her father's PCP strongly recommended NOT doing the pacemaker surgery, and let things take it course more quickly rather than artificially extending the father's life and having to deal with the more severe consequences of Alzheimer. The cardiologist overrode their protestations and performed the surgery, and the father's life was extended to the point where he truly suffered. Finally, the woman went to court and was able to get a legal order to turn off the pacemaker. Only about a week after turn off, the father died. So my question is: as you get much older, what would be the consequences of stopping TRT after 20 years or more of TRT therapy? I still distinctly remember how debiliatated I felt 7 years ago when my total T fell into the low 100's. If I'm in my 80's or 90's and stopped TRT - I'd be nothing more than a vegetable. [/QUOTE]
