I insisted that his physician test for these things. But .. on the thyroid, I don't believe he did the right tests. He only did the TSH, and husband's doc said that this was "normal". I have learned since then, that is not necessarily true! (He needs to be tested for the free's.) I haven't figured out how I will once again "insist" that his doc run a thyroid panel on my husband, but this time do it "correctly". Both my husband and his doctor will think I am being a very pushy ****!

It's okay to be pushy..I am very pushy when it comes to my family and my own health. Sometimes you just have to be.As far as the Testosterone...I'm sorry, but i am not qualified to answer that. I understand what you are saying though, will more Test. cause more anger..maybe, but i'm not sure. This would be a good question for SLS, Link or ED., and of course your doc.
I admire your desire and diligence in trying to help your hubby. :)
