[QUOTE="madman, post: 199329, member: 13851"] Forget getting caught up in the age reference ranges. Your TT 180 ng/dL is absurdly low and FT is sub-par to say the least! Where your TT/FT level sits as of now is far from where you were at in your prime. [B]*My doctor says he does not prescribe TRT unless someone is outside the "normal range" (i.e. the "Standard Range" listed with the test results). In other words, my T level would need to be below 86.98 ng/dL. [U]I mentioned my symptoms of lethargy and no sex drive, and my doctor offered to refer me to an endocronolgist[/U]. My general impression is that he goes strictly by the numbers for everything, perhaps for fear of having his license suspended or revoked. *[B]In general,[U] I just want to get my T back to a middle normal range (hopefully this will help with the lethargy, sex drive, etc.)[/U]. I've never been able to put on a lot of muscle mass working out, and I'm not trying to pack on a lot of muscle at my age. I could stand to lose 10-15 lbs of fat, but I'm not trying to bulk up.[/B][/B] *[B][U]I talked to the endo briefly about lethargy, lack of libido, etc. but he seems to think this is just natural aging[/U]. [U]I can understand that to a point, but the lack of libido is causing issues with my wife and this has become a quality of life issue for me[/U] (admitedly I don't know for sure if low T is causing the lethargy and libido issues).[/B] [/QUOTE]
