60 years old and starting Testosterone today...

Post by Major Kong »

for probably the rest of my life. The TV commercials call it Low-T, but in my case it's damn near No-T.

I was diagnosed with hypogonadism related to my Parkinson's.

If Parkinson's isn't enough to deal with then this crap makes an entrance. Estrogen isn't a problem as I've not developed man boobs, but I've lost about 33% of my muscle mass. It's also referred to as grumpy old man syndrome but I don't think I'm that grumpy but my wife may disagree. :mrgreen:

I'm learning a whole lot about this and my Endocrinologist has been absolutely great.

Since my wife is an RN she'll be giving me a shot in my hip every 2 weeks and she's :twisted: at the thought of giving me a shot with an 18 gauge 1½" needle. :D

I have a 39 year old friend that was low on testosterone and now takes it. Problem is, though, he now basically has to take it for life because the body will really stop producing it now.

At 60, that decision makes a ton of sense IMO. My friend says he feels great now, so hopefully the same will go for you. Be interested to know if you get backne like he did, a side effect.
