[QUOTE="HarryCat, post: 10403, member: 856"] I think the link between sleep apnea and testosterone treatment is overstated, here is a quote from [URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3955336/"]this study[/URL]: [B]Effect of testosterone on obstructive sleep apnea[/B]: [h=4]Based largely on anecdotal evidence exogenous testosterone has been considered to have a deleterious effect on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
