[QUOTE="DaveNY, post: 63440, member: 15177"] Hi all, I'm 36 and got basic blood work at my Primary Doc after feeling generally blah, but no other major physical symptoms. Came back with Total T at 214ng/dl and Free T at 5.1ng/dl. So, treatment would "make sense" and I do understand the benefits. I just have trouble wrapping my head around treating something that, as far as I can tell, [I]isn't[/I] causing many issues. I have no ED or lack of libido, and muscle gains are slow but not what I think are unusual for my efforts (I have decent-but-not-great consistency with diet and training). Other than a general lack of energy/motivation most days (not the same as feeling depressed, which I don't, to be clear), I just don't feel that bad overall which is probably strange considering how low my levels are. Add in the factor that my wife is post-menopausal, so our sex life is only occasional, I'm not totally comfortable with any potential libido-increase from TRT, since that would literally cause more problems than it would solve. (I plan to start a separate thread to discuss that more in-depth, as it's one of my main concerns). That's everything in a nutshell. Looking forward to learning plenty around here. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
