Diminished sexual function after starting TRT
I'm 69 and have been on 63mg/week TE only for 1.5 years. It helped me with what I needed it for; I had excess fatigue on exertion and didn't like the fact that I was losing muscle. I lost 35 lbs and became more muscular. Obviously I don't care about fertility, and I wasn't overly concerned if...- Melody68

Orgasm. But no feeling
Hey Vince, Cataceous implied that a loss of penile sensitivity could be the result of excess T. I've always reacted very strongly to small doses of anything, and my 63mg week of Enanthate still gets me to a slight excess of the normal upper limit of free T. I thought I read at one time that...- Melody68

Orgasm. But no feeling
Before TRT I could orgasm at least twice in a row; after TRT I could only do it once. It's a good one, but that's it till the next day (or two). I think it has something to do with a reduction of penile sensitivity.- Melody68

Can I lift hard if I have AFib?
Hey Jim, you sound like you're handling the Afib pretty well. I gather that you think like I do . . . that I don't want to get my T levels too high because that might trigger Afib and blood clots. Mid range, as you say, is smart. But I don't understand the relevance of MVC levels . . . can...- Melody68

Can I lift hard if I have AFib?
100 reps per set! I read that this afternoon and decided to try that, but only with 50 reps. I split my exercise days into pulling and pushing days. So I was doing curls, rowing, lat pull downs etc. I also work my forearms hard on those days. Anyway, I finished the high rep workout and then...- Melody68

Can I lift hard if I have AFib?
Hey brother, good to hear from you. Yeah, Covid was a b-tch, some people got lucky, some didn't. You sound like you're doing pretty well, and you're lifting some good weight. I'll be 70 next February, and I've been thinking about how I'm going to approach old(er) age. I see so many of my...- Melody68

Can I lift hard if I have AFib?
I always get great help here . . . I'm 69 and have been on TRT for 1.5 years. I love it, it helps me exercise hard and I have much less aches and pains and fatigue than I used to. During that time I went from a sloppy 250lbs to a hard 215lbs (I'm 6'3). In December last year shortly after a bad...- Melody68

Pacemaker and TRT
That's unfortunate, and I feel badly for you. I'm not a doctor, just a fellow TRT patient. Regarding the TRT, does it have to be an all or nothing proposition? It's true that we all want to have T levels at the upper part of the spectrum, but if it were me and I had to make changes, I'd rather...- Melody68

Hey TB, I feel badly for you, but I think you've found your way to some very bright people here on the board - hopefully they can help out. I have shades of the same concerns as you.

Interesting injury
That side was under stress as I was one arm rowing, what to me, was a heavier weight. I think I turned my head to look at the angle of my arm, to see if I was doing the exercise right. Then I felt a combination of pain and what kind of felt like an elastic band snap. Since then it's sore...- Melody68

As always you guys are terrific, thank you Phil, excelnelg and Guided. I have had an ongoing neck problem the last 6 months as a result of an unfortunate accident.

Interesting injury
I often get great info here on weight training. I'm 69, started TRT a 15 months ago, and find that I can finally build up some muscle as a result of the increased testosterone. Great feeling. I'm training pretty hard (for me anyway, I was never particularly athletic); probably harder than...- Melody68

My trimix sucks, what strength should I have?
Madman, your post has been VERY informative, dare I say the most relevant post for me that I've ever read on the board here. My mistake in thinking of penis blood flow is that I was thinking in terms of absolutes - that you need high pressure to completely shut off blood flow exit to build the...- Melody68

My trimix sucks, what strength should I have?
Hey Madman, your memory that I got a penile ultrasound is impressive. That experience was a little disheartening. There was a significant fee payable for the test. The doctor came in, injected me, and said he'd be back in 10 minutes to do the scan. But, he was back in no more than one or two...- Melody68

My trimix sucks, what strength should I have?
Hey guys, I'm 69, take TRT, and have been using the Trimix prescribed by a urologist, with a formula of 20mg/1mg/25mcg, for a few months now. It works, but not that well. After injection, I'll kinda sorta get a 6/10 erection which can then be manipulated by me to an 8/10, which isn't bad, but...- Melody68

I've never tried the shoulder, but I hear it works OK. Really the thigh for me is pretty good; I might hit a nerve once every few months or so.

What size needle are you using? I use a fixed insulin 1/2" 27g which works quite well for IM. I'm not super experienced, but I suspect that if you hit a nerve you would feel it right away.

American men are hungry for injectable T: A legion of new health clinics are serving it up
I'm 69 and started TRT just last year, largely because I would fatigue easily when exercising or doing physical work; it has helped me that way. As a younger person I would have my T tested occasionally, and it was on the lower side if not actually considered low. I prefer to be humble, but...- Melody68

Severe Muscle Pain from Crestor?
Agree. Smaller doses of statins maintain close to the effectiveness of the larger dose while often reducing the exposure to negative side effects dramatically. I always made it a point to try 1/2 of the prescribed statin dose before going to the full dose, with excellent results. When it...- Melody68

Hi, I'm 69 and started lifting some weights when I started T a year ago, but stopped soon after. I thought I had started too fast and given myself a case of tennis elbow.
