[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 121735"] Without question, TRT is a difficult path for some people. For various reasons, it seems to not work for everyone. It's complicated when dealing with hormones and it is a balancing act that is hard for some to get dialed in where they feel appreciatively better than prior to TRT. The forums are full of people looking for help because they are struggling. Many times they struggle because of a poorly defined protocol established by a doctor that is uninformed and other times it is just trying to find that perfect balance for their bodies chemistry. These forums are designed to try and offer assistance to those trying to find that balance by have discussion with others that have experienced the same issues. That is why you find forums like this full of those still trying to find their way. There are not very many people on these forums that are on TRT and doing great. They simply have no need to be on such a forum. I believe many that just stop TRT within months to a year of starting TRT do so because their doctor prescribed an unrealistic dose of testosterone, a large dose of an AI, and an injection protocol that did not match up with their SHBG levels than in many cases was not even tested. We must remember that the people on the forums represent only a small fraction of the total men on testosterone replacement therapy. There are likely millions of men on TRT that are doing just great. I am one of those that is doing great and there probably aren't too many like me on the forum. I've now been on TRT for over 13 years in one form or another. Once getting on TRT I've never had an issue with any that many on this forum face. I stumbled across this forum and thought it was interesting and eventually joined. As I read others issues I feel fortunate that I don't have to deal with or face the problems that others on the forum face. But I stick around and learn in case maybe one day I do experience those issues as I age. But so far, 13 years on TRT with positive results. Regarding your statement of [I]"Also no person knows what the implications of shutting these hormones off long term are and this is also a fact."[/I] .........I don't know. My Total T was 64 and my Free T was only 2 when I started TRT. Seems to me they were already basically shut down and the typical person that gets on TRT should be seriously deficient in their androgen hormones. We know what the long term effects of low T are and how dangerous that is for your health. For me, not being on TRT and to continue living the way I felt prior to TRT just wasn't an option. So yes, there is a "agree to disagree" element. TRT works for some and doesn't for others. Some give up too early and others, for some reason, it just doesn't help. I don't know the statistics but I'd have to believe the population that have success with TRT is much greater than the population that doesn't. [/QUOTE]
