[QUOTE="tooth, post: 53016, member: 12562"] I'm 43, been one year on trt next month. I had a ton of concerns. I was on no meds, perfect health. The thought of self injecting freaked me out, the thought of being on meds the rest of my life freaked me out, the shitty public stereotype given to testosterone freaked me out. The whole dam thing freaked me out. Mostly because I didn't realize I had anxiety from the low t :cool:. I was suspicious, but was in total denial. I tested three times before I had to admit to myself that I did have low t. How could I squat, bench and deadlift the way I was with low t, how could I grow a beard in a week with low t, etc? Allot of the public misconceptions didn't add up. I had a ton of blood tests, an mri, bone scan, etc and everything came up roses except my t levels. As for negatives, having to give myself injections twice per week has gotten better but I still hate it, and having to give blood to manage my hematocrit is a drag. It's also not cheap. Those are things I'm willing to deal with in order to feel as good as I do now though. It's a journey and you'll find allot of guys have your same story. Finding a good doctor is half the battle. Dr's that understand trt are far and few between. If your doc doesn't get it, then get in touch with someplace like the one that sponsors this board. [/QUOTE]
