Good morning, I'm hoping for some advice (maybe) or generally to have a read up on other experiences.
45yr old male
physical job Lugging stuff about
always lifted weights, solid bloke never looked beach awesome
take 12.5mg sertraline daily for previous anxiety
eat ok
always natural but absolutely no problem with peds, most mates use them.
played rugby upto last year.
5'10" 100kg
Anyway cut to the chase was feeling 'off' for a while, no motivation - wanted to lift and play rugby but nothing in the tank. Took online blood test and scored 4.6 which freaked me a bit so did the full GP one and scored 9.4 testosterone. They advised me over the phone to exercise, eat well and get fresh air. Ok.
Went to a private GP who has a specialist interest in TRT and lectures cardiology etc so I'm assuming he knows his game. He ran through some questions with me:
joint pain
sex drive
morning wood
belly fat
hair loss
brain fog
So yep I'd not considered any of these myself and he was spot on the money and said if it was him in my place he wouldn't hesitate in taking the treatment. He's happy to get it all done via the NHS and said first a prostate exam (bonus) and he'll do the first dose next Friday.
should I go gel or injection? Do I get to choose? I am a bit scared tbh- don't mind admitting that anonymously.
I'm not expecting big gains or a miracle cure but I'm sure it won't hurt and hopefully allow me to play a bit more rugby, the desire is there but the 'mojo' hasn't been.
Hope I've not rambled too much and look forward to any advice, experience or pisstaking.
