When I went on TRT 13 years ago I did not have any ED at all and my libido was done. My problem was complete fatigue. When they tested my T levels they were approximately 65 for Total T and Free T was 2.

I have zero regrets. It is a commitment. It just becomes a way of life. Now it is just part of my regimen like taking a shower, brushing my teeth, etc.......

People quit because of poor doctor care and a poor protocol established by their doctor far more than any other reason. Then there are milllons of people on TRT that you never hear from because it made a positive change in their life, they have no issues and life is good.
