[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 244579, member: 18023"] IMO people with serious health conditions are difficult to advise on a forum whether they should start TRT. Serous meds like DaraFaspro dexamethasone Revlimid. So you should consult with your doctors. Males with Multiple Myeloma tend to have lower testosterone than average, they also usually have lower albumin. It appears that TRT is sometimes recommended. Men with low T tend to feel more tired, so from that aspect TRT would likely help. As far as a statin, they can lower triglycerides by 20-40% though they can also cause greater fatigue. You could get a calcium score for calcification of arteries to see where you currently stand. Again, consult your doctor first. Life expectancy is reduced with Multiple Myeloma while heart / plague build up is a slow process. I would ask your doctor what he expects to gain with a statin. Sure, it will reduce triglycerides / ldl, but will you live long enough for that to really matter? (Sorry to read about your health problems, but I am sure you are aware of this.) TRT will likely give you more energy, but it could also have some sort of negative effect on your current treatment protocol. I just don't know, at this point, a real professional like your own doctors would have a better understanding of this. BTW, your 2mg testosterone patches, weren't they prescribed by a doctor? What was the opinion of the doctor that treats your myeloma? The way you wrote this, it suggests that maybe you did it on your own, since you decided to quit. Glad you are in remission, hope it stays that way, good luck. ================================== Article about testosterone and Multiple Myeloma, The researchers also explored whether there was any association between testosterone levels and overall survival among the participants in their study. Despite approaching the issue from several different perspectives, the researchers could not find any significant evidence of such an association. Only in one case – a comparison of survival in male participants with the highest and lowest testosterone levels – was there an indication that overall survival might be lower in patients with lower testosterone levels. The difference in survival between the two groups of males patients, however, was not statistically significant.
