[QUOTE="flyingfool, post: 233960, member: 37930"] I just turned 56 years old. Maybe 10 lbs overweight. 176lbs and 5’-7”. I take 50 mcg thyroid T4 I swim 1 mile three days a week. Recent blood labs from yesterday Total T=489 Free T=12.44 SHBG=22.9 Estradiol=20 Are these decent or poor numbers for a man my age? Symptoms: Do not wake up with erection. Erections work but are maybe 75% of what they used to be when younger Get aroused and get errction. But lose it fairly quickly and takes fair amount of stimulation to get erection back. I have used tadalafil 10mg once a day with some positive effect. But still not a solid erection like when I was in my 30’s or even 40’s. Libido and interest are OK. Not anywhere like it used to be. But still more libido than my wife has so I am afraid if I get higher T levels all I will do is frustrate the crap out of my self! Being horny and no where to go with my desire. Stamina for physical work seems to be waning in last couple years I get muscle tone but not really muscle gain. But swimming is not resistance workout. And I HATE weight lifting. I just don’t enjoy it at all. Cholesterol slightly high 216 HDL low at 36 LDL high 144. No amount of exercise has ANY effect what so ever on HDL. Increasing workouts does NOTHING and has actually decreased HDL rather than increase. Triglycerides high 178. NOT on a statin. Want to remain off statin if at all possible. Was wondering if I started a cream on scrotum, if that would shut down all natural production. Is there any small dose that would be additive or is any drop of Testosterone applied totally shut down all production? Will T cream on scrotum eventually desensitize and lose ability to absorb T? Am I just getting older and this is just the way it is? Or am I low and should I consider T replacement? [/QUOTE]
