Hi All

I am new to the forum. I am 43 going to be 44 in March 2016. I have all the symptoms of low T my total testosterone is 441 and my free is 9.5. E2 21.

I have sleep apnea in which I am treating. Every Dr I went to says I am in the normal range I say to these Dr's normal for an 80 yr old man. I have done lots of research and read books on TRT and also read Nelson"s material. I am skepical to start TRT due to my sleep apnea.

Help is appreciated to conquer my fear getting on TRT

How long have you been using a CPAP? What is your weight, height and neck size ? (inches if possible)

Your TT is borderline. There is a lot of controversy on the issue of sleep apnea and testosterone replacement as you can read in these posts:
