[QUOTE="keigwin, post: 78823, member: 16350"] I'm 53, diabetic, obese and had no energy, motivation or sex drive. I got sick of having doctors and others tell me the same thing - diet and exercise, diet and exercise, diet and exercise. Of course I need to take care of those, but when you have zero energy and motivation, this is like telling a dehydrated man in the desert to crawl to the nearest water! I forced my PCP to test my hormones and found that my E2 was high and my T a bit low. I thought that fixing these might make me feel better, which in turn would help me stick with diet and exercise. These same labs revealed my diabetes, and my PCP just wanted to focus on that. The endocrinologist said my T looked "robust" and that I didn't need TRT. Finally, after two years I felt so bad that I took things into my own hands. In May, I got my hormones tested independently and found high E2 and high prolactin (my doctor didn't test prolactin). I started anastrozole and fairly quickly started feeling better. First my energy returned, then I started getting some things done around the house that had been waiting for years, and most recently my sex drive has been returning. I'm homing in on the best dose for me and couldn't be happier with the results so far. My E2 is close to ideal, my prolactin cut in half and even my T has gone up. I've even started going back to the gym and have lost 10 lbs. I'll be posting my labs in the labs section with some questions, in case anyone is interested. K- [/QUOTE]
