		<description>My name is Marilynn....

My boyfriend is 22 years old. We have been in a relationship for 3 years. During the first year our sex life was amazing. Then it slowly stopped. For the past 2 years we&#039;ve been hardly having sex at all. I would ask him, he&#039;d push me away. I seduced him. He would reject me. I know he is not cheating on me and i know he&#039;s not gay. He is 6&#039;0 and weighs 175. Whenever we were &quot;together&quot; and he finished... he would have back spasms and his legs would go numb. Also, he finishes very quickly (within 5 minutes). He hates himself for it and wishes he can go  longer.

I have read up on Low T and I am concerned he might have it. He is going through therapy, but I can&#039;t take not &quot;being&quot; with him anymore. I am suffering and he knows this. I will not cheat on him but I have no idea what to do. Please help and thank you in advance. - Marilynn</description>

		<description>I am 64yoa and just had my 5 year post radical prostate surgery exam this month.  Still cancer free!  I&#039;m still unable to achieve erections since my surgery.  My urologist tested my testosterone level and it came back low (290)  He wants to put me on replacement therapy, either by injections or cream.  He said he would like to see my level above 400 and even higher if possible.  What are the good and bad side effects I need to consider.  I&#039;m 6&#039;3 and weigh 208 #.  Good health and don&#039;t smoke.   Thanks in advance - - SkipT (Texas)</description>

		<description>I use a product called Andromen Forte which is a 5% cream available in Australia from a pharmacy. It costs $100 for a 50 day supply as the tube has 50 daily doses - without insurance.

I&#039;ve been using it for over 4 years now and it has made an incredible difference to my life. I used to be very tired and depressed. Visited doctors and was prescribed anti-depressants - didn&#039;t help. After about 2 years of all this S**T I had my bloods done and - guess what? Low-T.

So now I&#039;m real happy and make sure I dose myself everyday.

They say the product is bioidentical and I know it&#039;s pharmaceutical grade cause I need a script over here to get it but they export worldwide so they say.

Just my 2-cents worth.</description>

		<description>Hi Justin,

If you go register at the forum (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mehacker.com/forum/register.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.mehacker.com&lt;/a&gt;) and ask a question, someone there can help you. I know that the forum looks empty right now, but we&#039;re just getting it kicked off and we have a few experts watching it who will be more than happy to help you. As soon as you can post there, you should get an answer as the admins will receive an email. Answering on the blog is really cumbersome - thanks and good luck!</description>

		<description>Do you know how successful the natural treatments can be you listed under products.  Since I am at 338 which is borderline I was hoping to start there.  I think I will order some ZMA as my multivitamin is low in magnesium but yeah I would really prefer just to get back to normal and not have to take injections every 10 days.  What I have read is once you replace testosterone, your body makes less of it, so if I go that route I can never hope to recover naturally.</description>

		<description>Hello, I was just diagnosed with low T levels. I am a bit nervous to the treatment basically because of the unknown. I also, was diagnosed in late 2009 with Grave&#039;s Disease, which attacks the thyroid. I am currently taking synthroid to boost my level and now I have low T. I believe possibly the radiation therapy has harmed more than just my thryroid. I am wondering what you feel is a good idea. Do you think I should ask my Dr for weekly injections rather than starting on the gel?

Thanks,
Murph</description>

		<description>Hi Tony,

Apologies for the delay in replying. As always, I have to be relatively careful not to appear to be giving medical advice here, but here&#039;s my take.

First, what does your doctor say about this? Has he referred you to a specialist?

Second, upping the does of testosterone will help - it&#039;s not like it will boost your own testosterone, it will actually replace it. I don&#039;t have the chart handy, but it&#039;s physically impossible for weekly injected testosterone to not raise your T levels over 100. 

I would strongly advise against a frequency than every 3 weeks for injections. Even every two weeks is too little for me - ten days is my limit.

If your doctor is not helping then ditch him. A doctor is a service professional that you pay to help you, like a gardener or a barber. If your doctor isn&#039;t working out then life is too short to live with it. Ditch him and get a doctor who can help - weekly injections will get your T levels up - it&#039;s impossible for them NOT to.

Let me know how you get on, and best of luck!</description>
