[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 255830, member: 15235"] My two cents...I am a big supporter of TRT but only in the right context. I would explore other avenues first. You appear to have signs of high cortisol (mid-section fat) so getting a work-up from a good holistic Dr seems like a logical step. Checking on thyroid would be good too, as well as for any chronic infections. Without knowing your lifting and eating protocol it's also hard to say, but under-eating and over-training (too much intensity) could also explain your symptoms. Having seen countless case studies over the years, the biggest risk in TRT, it appears to me, is that some people lose erectile function and find it hard to get it back, so since you have that, I would be very hesitant to risk it until you have taken a more holistic view. While T is important, so are lots of other things that make sense to investigate first. I have recommended the protocol in the book The perfect Health Diet many times here and I think it is a very comprehensive low-risk home base for diet and supplementation. [/QUOTE]
