[QUOTE="snorgejr, post: 105841, member: 18255"] Hello! I'm a 25 year old, norwegian male. I've been experiencing close to all the symptoms of low T to a greater or lesser extent for the last 5 years or so. They've been most notable for the past 1-2 years, with a constant increase in severity as time goes by. The most notable symptoms are: [LIST=1] [*]Very low sex-drive (almost non-existent) [*]I can't remember the last time I had a morning erection [*]Reduced motivation to do work and excersise [*]Increasing problems with focusing on things for more than a few minutes at a time (brain fog? Not familiar with the term.) [*]Generally feeling a bit "under the weather" [/LIST] I did a non-related blood test a year ago, for which the doctor gave me a "all looks good"-response: [ATTACH=CONFIG]5005[/ATTACH] Then a second one this april: [ATTACH=CONFIG]5006[/ATTACH] The units are not given, yet I'm quite sure the Total T ("S-TESTOSTERON" and "S-TESTOS") is measured in nmol/L. The same goes for SHBG. As for the free-T ("FRI TESTOSTERON INDE" and "FTINDEKS") I'm not sure. I had a consultation with my doctor last week - on my initiative - to attempt to find a solution to the problem. She was very sceptical, to say the least, as I have built up an above average muscle mass after 7 years of strict diet and training. I've never touched any exogenous hormones or anything remotely similar, nor have I taken any medication outside of antibiotics. It seems my T-levels are about that of a 60-70 year old, yet according to my doctor it is "within normal ranges". My life style is very healthy. I sleep 8+ hours every night, while sticking to the same sleeping schedule throughout the whole week. I eat low processed foods, enough quality fats, barely touch alcohol, I'm not obese, and I'm doing strength focused excersise x5/wk. I've not had any strength increase for about 2 years, despite bringing a lot of focus and energy to the gym. The only apparent thing I'm doing which might be detrimental to my T-levels is studying at the university, thus having periods of stress. I have a history of being slightly overweight, with a BMI around 30 in the past. I'm in the normal range as of today, yet it has proven impossible to lose fat around my mid-section area. Not sure if this is a symptom of low T or not, but it's very unlikely to be a result of my diet not being on point. Now to my questions: [LIST=1] [*]Can low T be the reason for my symptoms, and what might the cause be? [*]Does it seem like TRT might be a possible solution to the problem, despite my young age? [*]Does anyone have experience with TRT from the public health care in Norway? It seems they are incredibly reluctant to help. [*]If "no" on question 3: What about the private sector? [*]Will me getting TRT at such a low age have potential negative effects on my fertility? [/LIST] Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is really tearing on my quality of life. [/QUOTE]
