I certainly feel better, mood wise and in my behavior, which is a change from where I've been for far too long. My improved mood has made life better in my relationship with my wife, as well in being her caregiver. Alzheimer's is an ever changing and evolving disease, which will only get worse. Stressed out and overwhelmed have been all I've felt for the past two years and in my worst moments, feeling like I want to end my life. At the moment, it seems that testosterone is the only thing that's helping me.
Agree that running 200 mg per week places my total and free, as well as E2, far outside the ranges. An adjustment might need to be made after my labs but my urologist has always been about how a patient feels and functions. We'll discuss this at my next consult. He knows I'm mentally/emotionally struggling, as does my psychiatrist and my primary care physician.
Pushing the envelope means a person should know the risks and possible complications. I always do my due diligence. My back is against the wall. Never a good place to be but life doesn't ask us if we're ready for a challenge.
Thank you for your observations and insights. You bring a lot of good information to this forum.
