TRT decision time, a little help?

I can't speak for the average user, only for myself. For me it has been a six-year struggle, with lots of wrong turns along the way, and still I'm far from optimal in my TRT. Many guys have tremendous success, though, so it's good that you are soliciting opinions. Just be careful and think it...

Arimidex
