"Low testosterone?" Topic

It might seem trivial, but reading about the symptoms makes a man of a certain age wonder about it:

-reduced energy level
-loss of muscle mass
-emotionally-based problems (irritability, difficulty in concentration, depression)
-sleep problems
-decreased sexual drive
….plus a number of other symptoms.

So, where do you think you'd fall among the following choices?:

A) Don't have it (too young)
B) Don't have it (being treated or have been treated for it)
C) Might have it
D) Needs more boobies! ("Oh, wait…I don't have any interest….")
E) What the does this have to do with wargaming?! (to which I would refer the reader to the emotionally-based problems)

I will confess to developing man boobs!!! Dose that make me more or less atrACTIVE to eermmm anyone???
iN SRTICT CONFIDENCE RIGHT??

Not a problem I have. Not sure at what age it is supposed to kick in.

C and D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake it's already there…

E) (To which I would refer the reader to their regular physician, and not a wargaming forum with the inevitable handful of armchair quack responses)

D and E …D increases testrone levels

I am the oposite… I have a high testosterone levels. Which leads to the oposite symtoms in most cases (I have sleeping problems as well) plus loss of hair.

I'm hoarding "Y" chromosomes.

its nothing a new girlfriend wont fix.

I can remember reading about this as a youngster, and discovering that as you get older you have less interest in sex.

I can now reveal the truth.

You still have the same interest in sex, it is the fact that the (sexy young) females have less interest in having sex with you.

I can remember a young comic being booed, and he said, well you laughed when George Burns said he was looking for sex with a woman half his age!

According to my doctor no such thing exists as a medical problem. Low T is a result of aging and there isn't anything you can do about it.

I'm a complete waste of a human being. If I can deal with it, everyone else will just have to. Other than that, I'm OK.

I sense a Sunday morning half hour radio infomercial coming up, wishing to sell me nutritional supplements.

My wife reckons everything's still working fine!

Ravenscraft for the win!!!

The cure for aging, and keeping young girls interested, is lots of money, and fame.

Seems to work for a lot of celebrities, and wealthy men.

I'm not sure this topic has anything to do with wargaming, but it is important subject. Men seem to be really embarrassed to discuss health problems, but low testosterone (Low T)can be a real problem for some.

I am diabetic and was diagnosed with low testosterone. I felt really lethargic, i was really irritable and my brain felt foggy. I now apply a testosterone gel every morning and my testosterone is at acceptable levels. I feel so much better.

Low T can also be caused by benign tumors on your pituitary gland in your brain (master hormone controller.) I had an MRI and everything looks okay--just diabetic related.
