[QUOTE="NoHablo, post: 148382, member: 38341"] Stotler, I am a retired military officer. There are lots of moving parts here, but you can certainly get your arms wrapped around them. You will hear lots of "...yeah, but's," because there are many things to consider when trying to get to your ultimate solution. This is not bad, but can sometimes make learning and determining a course of action for yourself difficult. That said, here are a few things that I think you should think about ..... 1. You "think" you've been suffering from low T ? Believe me, for those who suffer from low T, there is no doubt in there mind that they are suffering. If not from low t, then certainly from something. I realize that you didn't mean it this way, but I'm just saying .... 2. Military medicine will not address your needs. It's designed to keep you healthy enough to do your job and no more. High end care, like hormone replacement (more than just testosterone), by a knowledgeable and experienced doctor does not exist within this system (in my 30 plus years of experience). 3. Find a knowledgeable doctor that you trust, be compliant, and allow him to do his/her job. The doctor can by close by or on-line. Both work well. 4. You need to understand the difference of being treated for "low t" and the desire to be "optimized (I really don't like this word, because it sounds like a markedly ploy, but it works for our purposes here)." The meanings are different, often misunderstood, and mistakenly used interchangeably. 5. Address all of your sex hormones, not just include testosterone, and your thyroid as well. Learn your body and manage your nutrition, hydration, sleep, and exercise appropriately. 6. Cost? Get over it! As an AF officer, you can afford to invest a few bucks in your health/life !! Truth is, for most people, cost in not prohibitive any more .... Bottom line: Go off base ! Respectfully my friend, [/QUOTE]
