Testosterone Therapy

I had all the symptoms of Low T. I could barley make it home from work and would sleep beofre dinner, eat and then go to bed, wake up tired. I would try to workout and instead of getting a boost from my workouts they made me drag and feel spent.My Doc said it could be my thyroid as well as Low T, it was and the thyroid drugs helped but she checked my testosterone levels too and they were very low. The combination of the thyroid treatment and testosterone make me feel normal and let me live my life, work out and just basically feel the way a healthy 53 yr old should feel. They didn't "boost" my sex drive into "overdrive" or make me a fitness model, but they weren't meant to. Its a therapy to get you back to a normal level not turn you into a 20-something in a 50yr old body I have a normal drive just as I did before low T and I recover from workouts as well as I did, but that also depends on other factors, like my diet and workouts and rest. I get regular blood work every 6 months and I keep and eye out for side effects, so far so good3
