I had a problem with my pituitary some years ago. One side effect was a reduction in testosterone production. The problem was identified after a routine set of blood tests.
My physician said, "your testosterone production is currently low. You describe sluggishness and lack of energy. We can ignore or it or treat it. The only way we know if this is a problem is to inject you with testosterone and see what happens. Either you will feel no difference or a marked improvment"
"Give me the shot", I said
30 minutes later I was walking down the street and I noticed that there was a new bounce to my stride. As I waited to cross the road a pretty girl half my age smiled and said "Hello, you!"
At work I seemed to have more vigor and got more done. The only negative, and it was a real one, was an increased sexual drive. After a few months I had lost 35lb in fat and begun an exercise regime for the first time in ten years.The pituitary problem cleared and I no longer need the supplementation. Certainly its worth any man getting tested. I am certain that the illogical hysteria about steroids causes tens of thousands of men to go untreated with damaging effects on their mental and physical health.
Today I am physically healthier than I was 15 years ago and that is a direct result of that treatment.
