I'm just looking for the opinions and experiences of guys with more experience with this topic. I live in a rural area where there are no TRT clinics or even Docs with any TRT experience so the internet and youtube have been my sole source of information so far. I did get my GP to do a total T lab but it's the only # I have so far.
I'm 54 years old. My symptoms are low energy, poor moods, loss of libido, morning wood almost never, poor sleep. My workouts (weights) and recovery has also gone downhill. My fasting morning total T level was 384 NL/DL. I don't know my free-T level yet as my crappy doc did not feel it mattered (looking for a different doc at present).
To me this level seems low especially when you consider that my SHBG levels have likely been climbing as my T levels have been dropping with age.
I've ordered some Testosterone Cypionate since I want to be able to take matters into my own hands if I'm unable to find a Doc to help me. I'm 6' 1" and 280 lbs at present (50 lbs overweight which is another issue). I'm thinking starting bi-weekly injections of 75 mg (.3 ml of 250mg/ml test) to begin and see what effect I get.
Thanks for reading.
